2.x HBA Compatibility and Configuration List SCSI Host Bus Adapters and Drivers Supported by UnixWare 2.x ============================================================ Section A: UnixWare 2.01 HBA Support (see later for 2.02 HBA) Some 2.x drivers will automatically detect the interrupt, I/O port, memory address and DMA channel. When this applies to the driver, "auto" will be listed under "Irq/IO/Mem". Other UnixWare 2.x drivers require that you use DCU (Device Configuration Utility) to configure the driver or set the scsi controller to the predetermined interrupt, I/O port, and/or memory address before installation. Using DCU, these can all be changed after the UnixWare installation.

Compaq Computer Corporation will be releasing a driver with 53c8xx support for Compaq platforms.) ------- Tricord ------- PowerFrame iiop auto 2.0.1 hba disk ------- UltraStor ------- UltraStor has not made any drivers available for 2.x at this time. ------- Western Digital ------- 7000 ISA wd7000 15/350/CE000 boot disk * These files are available from ftp.novell.com in the coreos directory (pub/netware/unix/unxwre20/coreos), from Compuserve in the unixware forum, or by calling UnixWare support at 1-800-486-4835. If you are installing UnixWare and do not have another SVR3.x or SVR4.x box to create the hba diskette on, you MUST contact Novell or the vendor for the HBA diskette. ** Problems arise in a some cases when scsi chipsets have been placed directly on the motherboard or on a 3rd party controller. Often the controller is not given the full functionality the chipset was intended to have. *** The adsa driver will not auto configure with the Adaptec 2840/42 controller. The fundamental problem is that the VLB (Vesa Local Bus) can't tell the system what kind of slots or cards they have. As it happens, the adsa driver (for the Adaptec 7770 chip) is mainly targeted for the 2740 card, an EISA device. To make the adsa driver worrk with the 2840/42 controller, enter the DCU when prompted after loading the HBA diskette. (If you are not installing, you will not be prompted to enter the DCU). Go to "Software Drivers", and "Host Bus Adapters". Move the cursor to the "adsa" entry (note that the AHA-2842 is not mentioned, but this is the right driver nevertheless). Hit for "new". Change the ITYPE field from 4 to 3. Change the interrupt number to match the value the card is set to. Hit to save and exit, and then exit out from the DCU, saving your changes. This procedure can be repeated if a second 284x is to be used during the installation. In other words, hit again for the second card. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Section B: : HBA202 - UnixWare 2.02 HBA drivers The 2.02 HBA package contains new drivers as well as all maintenance, enhancements, and fixes for UnixWare 2.01 HBA drivers. * Highlights The following is a list of new and enhanced drivers which are included in this package: - fdeb - Future Domain HBA Driver - fdsb - Future Domain HBA Driver - wd7000 - Western Digital HBA Driver - zl5380 - Media Vision HBA Driver - amd - Advanced Micro Devices HBA Driver - blc - Bus Logic HBA Driver - c8xx - Symbios Logic HBA Driver - dpt - DPT HBA Driver - adsl - Adaptec HBA Driver - ida - COMPAQ HBA Driver - cpqsc - COMPAQ HBA driver * Features The following HBAs are new or enhanced for 2.02: - Future Domain HBA Driver fdeb The fdeb driver provided by this package has enhanced direct access to the SCSI peripherals (pass-thru) and extended read/write support. The default UnixWare configuration is interrupt 5 and memory address CA000-CBFFF. - Future Domain HBA Driver fdsb Enhanced direct access to the SCSI peripherals (pass-thru) and extended read/write support are provide in fdsb in this package. Also, support for the Future Domain PNP-1630 adapter has been added to the driver. The default UnixWare configuration is interrupt 11 and I/O address 140-14F. - Western Digital HBA Driver wd7000 Enhanced direct access (pass-thru) ioctl support is | available in this release of the driver. The default UnixWare configuration is interrupt 15, I/O address 350-357, and memory address CE000-CFFFF. - Media Vision HBA Driver zl5380 Support for the Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum 16 adapter is provided in the this package. Note that this support is SCSI only, and that support for audio on this adapter is not provided. The default UnixWare configuration is interrupt 10 and I/O address 388-38B. Interrupt and I/O settings should be verified using the Quick Start program provided with the controller (runs under DOS). - New Advanced Micro Devices HBA driver amd The new amd HBA driver is provided in this update. This driver supports the following adapters: Am53C974 PCscsi Am79C974 PCnet-scsi. Tagged command queuing is supported, and the UnixWare auto- configuration utility is responsible for configuring the adapter for use with the system. - Bus Logic HBA Driver blc blc has been modified to support the following adapters: BT-956C BT-956CD BT-7942 (RAID) These adapters and the blc driver support "WIDE SCSI," tagged command queuing (if enabled), and hot insert. The UnixWare auto-configuration utility is responsible for configuring the adapter for use with the system. - Symbios Logic HBA driver c8xx The 2.02 HBA package provides the Symbios Logic HBA c8xx. This driver supports the following PCI to SCSI adapters and controllers: Symbios Logic 8100S (adapter) Symbios Logic 8251S (adapter) Symbios Logic 53c810 (controller) Symbios Logic 53c820 (controller) Symbios Logic 53c825 (controller) Symbios Logic 53c815 (controller) Tagged command queuing, WIDE SCSI and hot insert are supported. The UnixWare auto-configuration utility is responsible for configuring the adapter for use with the system. The driver will support the Symbios Logic (NCR Microelectronics) 53c8xx family. The driver will NOT load on COMPAQ Computer Corporation's 53c8xx host adapters in COMPAQ machines. The user must use the update cpqsc driver for the 53c8xx in COMPAQ machines. - DPT HBA driver dpt The dpt driver has been enhanced to support WIDE SCSI, hot insertion/removal and EATA direct access to the SCSI peripherals (pass-thru). The Storage Manager utility is supplied by DPT directly. You can monitor the the controller and target devices via the Storage Manager, in addition to performing diagnostic and maintenance tasks. Tagged command queuing is still supported by the controller firmware without driver intervention. EISA and PCI versions of the DPT controllers are completely auto-configured and require no special configuration. ISA versions of the DPT controllers need to be configured as follows: I/O Address - 170 (also called "secondary"), Interrupt 15 and the controller BIOS can be configured at any non-conflicting address. - The New Adaptec HBA Driver adsl adsl supports the following adapters: AHA-2940 AHA-2940W AHA-3940 AHA-3944 AIC-7870 AIC-7850 WIDE SCSI peripherals may be used with the AHA-2940W adapter. The UnixWare auto-configuration utility is responsible for configuring the adapter for use with the system. - COMPAQ HBA Driver ida ida has been modified as follows: - support for more than seven disks - support for WIDE SCSI - corrected interaction with CIM agents - corrected operation of ida controllers with IDE compatible interfaces The UnixWare auto-configuration utility is responsible for configuring the adapter for use with the system. - COMPAQ cpqsc HBA Driver cpqsc The COMPAQ cpqsc HBA driver is updated in this release. The driver supports the following: COMPAQ Integrated 32-bit COMPAQ Integrated 32-bit Fast-SCSI-2 (CPQ4410) COMPAQ 32-bit Fast-SCSI-2 (CPQ4411) COMPAQ Integrated 32-bit Fast-SCSI-2/E (CPQ4430) COMPAQ 32-bit Fast-SCSI-2/E (CPQ4431) COMPAQ Integrated 32-bit Fast-SCSI-2/P (Symbios Logic 53C810) COMPAQ 32-bit Fast-SCSI-2/P (Symbios Logic 53C825) Support for WIDE SCSI peripherals, tagged command queuing, and hot insertion has been added. The driver will support COMPAQS Fast-SCSI-2 family of controllers. The driver will NOT support the Symbios Logic (NCR Microelectronics) c8xx host adapters. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
