Re: AIX 5.1 doesn't see RAID

This is the hdisk:

When I run cfgmgr, it tells me this:

# cfgmgr
cfgmgr: 0514-621 WARNING: The following device packages are required for
device support but are not currently installed.
devices.scsi
.....
Is this the proper way to add the filesets?

No, the filesets on IBM web site are normaly only update packages and
no base filesets.

Can I safely add scsi
filesets without affecting the current scsi devices on the AIX server?
Yes,
if your AIX software is installed on /usr/sys/inst.images do a
$ cfgmgr -i /usr/sys/inst.images

See
$ man cfgmgr for details

BTW: It does not garantie that the device will work and you might need
to change some ODM setting for disk as well since you use some SATA
devices which might not support all nessessary SCSI commands.
