Device Driver Fileset for SCSI Adapter

How do you determine which fileset delivers the device driver that controls
an adapter?

Answer

The odm will have the name of the device driver file that controls the adapter.

* For example, to determine which fileset will deliver the device driver that controls the scsi0 card, enter the following command:

odmget -q name=scsi0 CuDv

The command will display the following output:

CuDv:
name = "scsi0"
status = 1
chgstatus = 2
ddins = "pci/s_scsidd"
location = "10-60"
parent = "pci0"
connwhere = "96"
PdDvLn = "adapter/pci/ncr825"

ddins field shows the name of the device driver that is controlling the scsi adapter.
* To determine where to find the file in file system, enter:

find / -name s_scsidd
/usr/lib/drivers/pci/s_scsidd

* To find the fileset, enter:

lslpp -w /usr/lib/drivers/pci/s_scsidd

Which displays the fileset:

devices.pci.00100f00.rte

NOTE: This procedure is only effective for any adapter that is already installed in the system.
