yes you can
Hi,
yes you can have 3 disk in your system, all you need is a free scsi adres.
those adresses run from 0 upto 7, 7 is mostly the adres of the scsi adaptor so there a 7 (0 - 6) free adresses for scsi devices like disks and tape drives.
1 After you selected a free scsi adres
when you do not know whith adresses are free you
can run the `probe-scsi-all` command on the
OK-prompt.
2 you can set this adress on the back of your device.
3 shutdown and power-off your system.
4 connect your new device in the scsi chain, do not forget the
terminator.
5 turn on the power of your system and all the devices and go to
the OK-prompt
6 on the OK-prompt you can check your scsi configuration, again
with the `probe-scsi-all` command.
7 when your confuration is OK, boot your system with the -r
option; type `boot -r` on the OK-prompt.
your system is booting up an re-scanning your system
for new devices, and also creates the device files in
the /dev/... directories.
8 know your disk is ready to use.
use;
`format` to create disk partions,
`newfs` to create filessyems on the partions.

Hello,
On 4/20/2018, we performed a disk replacement on our IBM 8202 P7 server. After the disk was rebuilt, the SAS Disk Array sissas0 showed a status of degraded. However, the pdisks in the array all show a status of active.

TAPSET::SCSI(3stap) TAPSET::SCSI(3stap)
NAME
tapset::scsi - systemtap scsi probe points
DESCRIPTION
This family of probe points is used to probe the SCSI activities. It contains the following probe points:
scsi.ioentry
Fires when SCSI mid layer prepares a SCSI request
Arguments:
disk_major
The major number of the disk
disk_minor
The minor number of the disk
device_state
The current state of the device. The possible values could be:
SDEV_CREATED = 1, /* device created but not added to sysfs
* Only internal commands allowed (for inq) */
SDEV_RUNNING = 2, /* device properly configured
* All commands allowed */
SDEV_CANCEL = 3, /* beginning to delete device
* Only error handler commands allowed */
SDEV_DEL = 4, /* device deleted
* no commands allowed */
SDEV_QUIESCE = 5, /* Device quiescent. No block commands
* will be accepted, only specials (which
* originate in the mid-layer) */
SDEV_OFFLINE = 6, /* Device offlined (by error handling or
* user request */
SDEV_BLOCK = 7, /* Device blocked by scsi lld. No scsi
* commands from user or midlayer should be issued
* to the scsi lld. */
scsi.iodispatching
Fires when the SCSI mid layer dispatches a SCSI command to the low level driver
Arguments:
host_no
The host number
channel
The channel number
lun
The lun number
dev_id
The scsi device id
device_state
The current state of the device.
data_direction
The data_direction specifies whether this command is from/to the device.
The possible values could be:
DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL = 0,
DMA_TO_DEVICE = 1,
DMA_FROM_DEVICE = 2,
DMA_NONE = 3,
request_buffer
The request buffer address
req_bufflen
The request buffer length
scsi.iodone
Fires when a SCSI command is done by low level driver and enqueued into the done queue.
Arguments:
host_no
The host number
channel
The channel number
lun
The lun number
dev_id
The scsi device id
device_state
The current state of the device
data_direction
The data_direction specifies whether this command is from/to the device.
scsi.iocompleted
Fires when SCSI mid layer runs the completion processing for block device I/O requests
Arguments:
host_no
The host number
channel
The channel number
lun
The lun number
dev_id
The scsi device id
device_state
The current state of the device
data_direction
The data_direction specifies whether this command is from/to the device.
goodbytes
The bytes completed.
