Confirming SCSI Disk Status

Use the ftdiskadm command to confirm SCSI disk status.

The following is a display sample when [Status(All Disks)] of [=> RAID] is
executed:

The 

"-- BUS --"

 area shows SCSI bus information.

bus: <SCSI BUS No.>
pci: <PCI BUS No.>:<PCI SLOT No.>.<CHANNEL No.>
(haddr): <hardware address> (See Table 3-1 for a listing of hardware ID
addresses.)

The 

"-- SYSTEM --"

 area shows information on the standard internal SCSI

disk.

The 

"-- EXTENSION --"

 area shows information on SCSI disks connected to

an optional SCSI board installed in a PCI slot of a PCI module.

slot: <SCSI disk slot No.>
name: <Device name>
