Using LIST STORAGE DEVICE BINDINGS

When you execute the command, the screen displays information similar to the following:



Device: [V312-A0-D0:0] SEAGATE ST32430N rev:0510 
Filter: NetWare Elevator Filter 
Filter: NetWare Sector Conversion Filter 
Base: Novell SCSI Fixed Disk CDM 
HAM: [V312-A0] ADAPTEC PCI Host Adapter Module

The first line specifies the device.

The next lines specify the CDMs associated with the device.

Filters are CDMs that communicate with the storage device. The elevator filter controls messages to and from the storage device, including scatter-gather messages. The sector conversion filter converts sector sizes to standard 512 byte units.
The Base is the essential CDM required to manage communication with the Host Adapter Module.
Information about CDMs for changers (called Enhancers) might also be displayed.

The last line identifies the Host Adapter Module for the adapter to which the device is connected.
