Virtual SCSI question. 1

[jprabaker]

Hello, I'm trying to map a second virtual scsi disk to my client. Is it possible to do this without creating addition Virtual SCSI interfaces? I'm running the following:

$ mkvdev -vdev hdisk5 -vadapter vhost0 -dev rs100a


Some error messages may contain invalid information
for the Virtual I/O Server environment.

Method error (/usr/lib/methods/define -g -d):
0514-013 Logical name is required.


Thanks in advance!

I think you have to create an additional virtual SCSI interface otherwise you won't be able to map! (it would be over mapped which is not possible).

Try this link. It will help alot!

Try it without the -dev option, mkvdev will generate a vtscsiNNN name for the virtual SCSI target device. I am assuming you already have a /dev/rs100a device in the VIO server and mkvdev cannot use the name you specified.

You can have multiple SCSI target (or host) devices defined on a single vhost/vclient adapter pair.
