I have a Sun Blade 100 with SCSI controller connected to a tape drive.
I need to buy another SCSI controller with exactly the same type/model
etc. The question is how to obtain the detail SCSI controller
information without opening the box.

I have tried sysdef, prtconf, dmesg, none of them give me the required
information. I have tried '/usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag -v'. It
give me some useful information as below.


 0   pci    33            4  SUNW,isptwo-pci1077,1020 (scsi)  
QLGC,ISP1040B


So I can see that the SCSI controller use 'QLGC,ISP1040B'. It still
can't provide detail information about the type/model for the SCSI
card and also information like Single Ended or Differential etc.

Can anyon tell me how to find out the exact manufacture type/module
for the SCSI controller inside the box? Thanks..

My educated guess is that you have a SunSwift PCI card. Option X1032A
or 501-5656 or 501-2741. Single-ended Ultra/Wide SCSI/FastEthernet
(SunSwift PCI)

I first went to the available SCSI controllers for the Blade 100: 
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/SunBlade100/component.scsi.html

The diagrams of the SunSwift cards show a ISP1040 chip on this card. 
Further research indicated that the isptwo driver always represents a
QLogic card/controller.

You could also do a show-devs from the ok prompt and see if you have a
network card and scsi card show up at the same PCI position. Here is
an example:
/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,isptwo@4
/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,hme@0,1

If physical inspection is possible; I would recommend viewing the
ports on the card and then going to the SunSolve link I pasted above
for quickest identification.

I hope this helps.
