The configuration stored on the adapter may be out of sync with the configuration stored on the drives. The configuration can be restored by synchronizing the adapter configuration with the drive configuration. This can be accomplished using the Accept Configuration on Drives option under PDAM's Recovery Options. Use the following to replace the SCSI-2 F/W PCI RAID Adapter: 1. Start the SMIT PDAM by entering the following command: smit pdam 2. Select the Recovery Options option. 3. Select Resolve PCI SCSI RAID Adapter Configuration option. 4. Select Accept Configuration on Drives option. 5. Select the adapter that was replaced.

If one adapter controls 3 x 6-PACKs in a F50, the boot disk is moved into media bay and attach to another SCSI adapter. Tape backup is then bumped as external device. - Attach only disk drives and disk drives cannot be shared between many 4-H adapters. - For best performance, distribute the drives equally across the available channel, for example, J8, J9 or J10.
