its your server, I'm not familiar with that model, but your LSPCI lists
one dual port 53C1030 SCSI card, and 2 64xx SmartArray RAID cards. you
might have to open up the server to see whats what. note that LSPCI
can't really distinguish between whats on board vs on PCI cards.
SmartArray cards can have internal or external scsi ports, depending on
the card.
specs for the DL350 G4
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12009_na/12009_na.html
say... onboard dual u320 scsi (that would be the 53c1030), and optional
smartarray 641 (in PCI slot 3)... Ah, and farther down the page, it
says the 53c1030 onboard scsi, external scsi connector cabling is optional,
SCSI Connectors
Two internal HD68 connectors
(Support for either two internal, two external, or a mix of
internal/external is available. This is achieved using an internal
to external SCSI cable option kit,PN 159547-B22 or 333370-B21, and
either of the two SCSI knockouts.)
ah, the optional 641 array controller is internal only. but other model
64xx cards can have internal + external ports, these would be in a PCI
IO bay.
another silly question, did you terminate this external scsi chain? You
have to use a active LVD scsi terminator at end of the last device on
the scsi cable, this would be your tape drive.
