How to Get Fibre Adapter to Send Start Unit Command to Drives?

How do you configure a Qlogic 2200F to send the start unit command to
attached hard drives? We are exposing a SCSI disk to the QLogic through a
fibre channel bridge, and the drive is not starting up after insertion.
The Windows 2000 host computer needs to boot this disk, so I need to find a
way to configure the QLogic to issue the start unit command as soon as it
initializes on startup of the computer.

You won't have much luck with that from the HBA, but would a small utility
that sends a Start Unit command be suitable? I can write one for you in no
time. Send me private e-mail if you're interested (watch the spam trap).

Alternatively, since you are using SCSI disks, most of them have a jumper to
auto-start the drive on power-up. If it's OK for all disks to power up all
the time then you should use that.
