Abstract

See full text

A method for configuring channels of a dual channel SCSI chip is provided which includes setting at least one bit in a first configuration space within a first channel control in the dual channel SCSI chip where the first configuration space returns a device identification information when accessed by an operating system. The method also includes setting at least one bit in a second configuration space within a second channel control in the dual channel SCSI chip where the second configuration space returns data indicating that the second configuration space does not contain any device identification information when accessed by the operating system. The first channel control is detected and managed by the operating system, and the second channel control is not detected by the operating system and is managed by a device processor.
