Most SCSI controllers that I have used generally use SCSI ID 0 as the controllers ID on the chain. All other SCSI devices on the chain must have a different ID set.

That said, SCSI controllers do not always use 0 as thier SCSI ID, so you'll have to figure that out by testing.

If it's SCSI 2 you have ID 0 to 7 available.
If ID 0 is used for the controller, you'll have 1-7 still available. In which case, you should be able to set any ID from 1-7 on you HDD.


I don't think thats right.  ID zero is ok to use.  ID seven is the one to avoid.  Adaptec, Emulex and Q-logic controllers -- to my knowledge -- all reserve seven as the HBA's ID number.
