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.

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