FIX:
Set the SCSI Channel Initiator IDs assigned to the shared channels to IDs 6 and 7.
DETAILS:
Each ServeRAID controller and controller pair must have a
different SCSI Channel Initiator ID assigned to the shared channels.
The IDs must be set to 6 and 7.
For example, one server, Server A, should be set to ID6 and the
other server, Server B, should be set to ID 7.
