This file is a detailed setting file used when dealing with a FC-SCSI bridge by storage management:
Since this file is not installed, it is necessary to create it in the following location.

Platform of Manager	Location

Solaris OS, Linux	/etc/opt/FJSVssmgr/current/bcm.conf

Reflecting the contents of the setting file

If the setting file is changed, select [Tool] - [Option] - [Re-read Definition File] from the resource view, or reactivate the Manager. This reflects the settings on this software.

Customization

With the storage management, the type of SCSI device connected to a bridge can be set by using the bcm.conf file. Specify the "Vendor ID", "Product ID", "LUN number", and "device type" of the SCSI device in the bcm.conf file in the text format before connecting it.

The storage management compares information of a SCSI device connected to the bridge with information in bcm.conf.

Vendor ID
Product ID
LUN number

If the information matches, the device type in the bcm.conf is set as the device type of the SCSI device.
