Re: [Q] can NOT add need scsi driver on AIX 5.2???

Search for the package name devices.pci.sci on ALL the AIX 5.2
CD's--there are 6 base AIX 5.2 CD's in total. I inferred from your email
below that you only searched one CD.

Helpful notes concerning cfgmgr:
--------------------------------
The system displays the following warning message when devices without
their device software are detected:

cfgmgr: 0514-621 WARNING: The following device packages are
        required for device support but are not currently
        installed.
devices.pci.22100020
devices.pci.14101800
devices.pci.scsi:devices.pci.00100300:devices.pci.NCR.53C825

In this example, two devices were found whose software is missing, and
the cfgmgr command displayed the names of the device packages that must
be installed. A third device whose software is missing was also found,
but in this case, the cfgmr command displays several possible device
package names.

When more than one possible package name is identified for a device,
typically only one of the names will actually correspond to a device
package on the install medium. This is the package to install. However,
in some cases, more than one of the names will correspond to actual
device packages on the install medium. In this case, the first package
name in the list for which there is an actual device package on the
install medium is the package that must be installed. If the cfgmgr
command is used with the -i flag, then the correct packages will be
installed.

If you invoke the cfgmgr command with the -i flag, the command attempts
to install device software automatically for each new detected device.
The Device variable of the -i flag specifies where to find the
installation medium. The installation medium can be a hardware device
(such as a tape or diskette drive), a directory that contains
installation images, or the installation image file itself.

Attention: To protect the Configuration database, the cfgmgr command is
not interruptible. Stopping this command before execution is complete
could result in a corrupted database.

Subject: [Q] can NOT add need scsi driver on AIX 5.2???
we have 7044-170 with AIX 5.2 installed.  I just put  a Ultra SCSI
adapter into it and run "cfgmgr".  I got following error message:
# cfgmgr
cfgmgr: 0514-621 WARNING: The following device packages are required for
        device support but are not currently installed.
devices.pci.scsi:devices.pci.00100300:devices.pci.pciclass.010000
I search on AIX 5.2 CD and did not find that SCSI driver.  Can anyone
tell me where is driver?
Thanks.
