NAME

pdc_get_initiator - Get the SCSI Interface Card params (SCSI ID, SDTR, SE or LVD)  

SYNOPSIS

"SYNOPSIS"

int pdc_get_initiator (struct hardware_path * hwpath, struct pdc_initiator * initiator);  

ARGUMENTS

hwpath
fully bc.mod style path to the device.
initiator
the array to return the result into
 

DESCRIPTION

Get the SCSI operational parameters from PDC. Needed since HPUX never used BIOS or symbios card NVRAM. Most ncr/sym cards won't have an entry and just use whatever capabilities of the card are (eg Ultra, LVD). But there are several cases where it's useful: o set SCSI id for Multi-initiator clusters, o cable too long (ie SE scsi 10Mhz won't support 6m length), o bus width exported is less than what the interface chip supports.
