Identifies the logical name of the adapter device to which the read/write optical drive is or will be attached.
Provides a short text description of the read/write optical drive device.
Indicates the current status of the read/write optical drive. Possible values are available, indicating the read/write optical drive is configured in the system and ready to be used, and defined, indicating that the drive is defined to the system but not configured.
For all SCSI devices, including disks, CD-ROMs, read/write optical drives, tapes, target mode, and initiator devices, the location code format is AA-BB-CC-DD. The AA-BB fields identify the location code of the SCSI adapter controlling the SCSI device. A value of 00-00-0S for the AA-BB-CC portion of the location code identifies a SCSI device attached to the Standard SCSI Controller.
Otherwise, the AA-BB-CC portion is interpreted as follows:
A value of 00 for the AA field means the controlling adapter card is located in the CPU drawer or system unit, depending on the type of system.
The BB field identifies the I/O bus and slot containing the card. The first digit indicates the I/O bus and will be 0 for the standard I/O bus and 1 for the optional I/O bus. The second digit is the slot on the indicated I/O bus containing the card.
The CC field is always a value of 00.
The first number is the SCSI ID, and the second number is the LUN.
Indicates the SCSI ID and logical unit number (LUN) used to address the read/write optical drive. The format is x,y where the x variable is the SCSI ID and the y variable is the logical unit number. Typical SCSI devices have mechanical switches for setting these values.
