Adaptec 29160 Scsi card / camcontrol rescan

2004-06-17 Thread J.D. Bronson
I have a machine running 5.2.1 with DUAL Adaptec 29160LP scsi cards.
In the machine there are 2 U160 LVD scsi drives...one attached to each
drive...
I have an external SE tape drive that I have a cable for that I can attach 
to the 'extra' 29160 card port. If I hook it up to the card and then boot 
the machine, it is detected and runs fine :)

If I forget, I hook it up later and then run 'camcontrol rescan all'
and the tape drive is immediately picked up and works fine :)
My question is, since I start out w/o the tape drive connected, I am 
running LVD with u160 speeds. Then I hook up the tape drive (run the 
command) and then want to disconnect the tape drive.

I know the bus will slow down with the tape drive attached, but will it 
come back to normal speeds once I remove the tape drive? - and/or do I have 
to run the camcontrol command again?

Thanks in advance!!

Run the rescan again.
Just removing the device from the bus does not cause the kernel or the 
hba to perform any action.

Please excuse my ignorance here
Once I disconnect my tape drive and run camcontrol rescan all, I should 
expect the bus speed to once again return to 160?

thanks!
