hello.. i'm running 5.1 release and i'm trying to wire down my scsi devices. I have a fibre channel card in my server and it sees 20 drives on the FC network. Because the kernel auto-allocates device id's as it finds devices, my fstab is all wrong if i add or remove a FC drive from the FC switch. The solution is to "wire-down" my scsi busses and devices. I'm following all the examples on the topic that i can find, but config keeps giving me the same error when i try to config my kernel. I have a Qlogic FC card (device isp) and three Symbios scsi busses (device sym). camcontrol devlist shows my four scsi busses as follows: scbus0 on isp0 bus 0 scbus1 on sym0 bus 0 scbus2 on sym1 bus 0 scbus3 on sym2 bus 0 here's what i did: # cd /sys/i386/conf/ # cp GENERIC TEST I've added the following lines to TEST: device isp0 device scbus0 at isp0 bus 0 device scbus1 at sym0 bus 0 device scbus2 at sym1 bus 0 device scbus3 at sym2 bus 0 device da0 at scbus2 target 0 device da1 at scbus0 target 1 device da2 at scbus0 target 2 device da3 at scbus0 target 3 and so on.. when i run config -g TEST i get: config: TEST:60: devices with zero units are not likely to be correct I've tried taking out those lines and leaving just one. any one. I get the same error. If I take out all of them and config it, it passes (it's a copy of GENERIC at that point). # uname -a FreeBSD labrat3.ascentmedia.com 5.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE #3: Mon Aug 11 13:57:55 PDT 2003 shop@labrat3.ascentmedia.com:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/LABRAT3 i386 This is a fresh install of 5.1. I did not cvsup up to this version. Please help. I can't put these machines online until i can wire the fibre channel disks the way I want them. Thanks.. /eric smith
