NAME
       sd - SCSI Disk

SYNOPSIS
       sd(parent-bus[,id[,lun]])

DESCRIPTION
       The sd device driver accesses a Small Computer Systems Interface
       (SCSI) disk drive device.  Non-removable hard disks are supported,
       along with several classes of removable media: CLARiiON disk arrays;
       floppy diskettes; CD-ROM; optical WORM; and erasable magneto-optical
       (MO).

       The currently supported models of non-removable hard disks are:

       Other models may also be supported.  If you have a device whose model
       number does not appear in the list above, consult the hardware
       documentation for that device to verify DG/UX support.

       To configure an sd device, you must add a device name entry of the
       form described above to the DG/UX system configuration file.  The
       parameters in a device name have the following meanings:

       ·   The parent-bus parameter is itself a device name, representing
           the SCSI bus device to which the device is attached (ncsc(0) or
           dgsc(vme(1),B,6), for example).  There is no default value for
           this parameter; it must always be specified explicitly.  See the
           scsi_bus(7) man page for a list of SCSI bus device drivers.

       ·   The id parameter is a hexadecimal number in the range 0 through F
           which represents the SCSI ID used by the device on parent-bus.
           The default value for id is 0.  Note that id values above 7 are
           possible only if the parent-bus device supports Wide SCSI
           addressing.  Consult your hardware documentation to determine if
           it does.

       ·   The lun parameter is a hexadecimal number in the range 0 through
           7 which represents the SCSI Logical Unit Number (LUN) used by the
           device within its id.  The default value for lun is 0.

       The sd driver provides no bad block remapping.  See the vdm(7) man
       page for details on how to set up a bad-block remap area using the
       Virtual Disk Manager.

FILES
       Each sd device creates a single character-special device node when it
       is configured, with the pathname:

           /dev/rpdsk/sd(parent-bus,id,lun)

       Each sd device also creates a single block-special device node when
       it is configured, with the pathname:

           /dev/pdsk/sd(parent-bus,id,lun)

       Each sd floppy device also creates character-special and block-
       special device nodes with a suffix.  The sd floppy device nodes
       without the s suffix represent the entire diskette, while the floppy
       device nodes with the s suffix represent the entire diskette
       excluding the first cylinder.

           /dev/rpdsk/sd(parent-bus,id,lun)s
           /dev/pdsk/sd(parent-bus,id,lun)s


       The chk.devlink command is responsible for creating and maintaining
       an additional "short-name" link to each such block-special and
       character-special device node.  See the chk.devlink(1M) and
       devlinktab(4M) man pages for details.

EXAMPLES
       The following entry in a DG/UX configuration file configures a SCSI
       disk device at Logical Unit Number 0 of SCSI ID 2 on the SCSI bus
       named ncsc(1):

            sd(ncsc(1),2)
