Subject: which device nodes used by ips.o module?

I could not find information about device nodes which are used by ips.o
module(IBM ServeRAID 4Mx).
I don't have hardware, as result I cannot check in experiment.
Would you help me ...

Cheers,YP

By device nodes do you mean /dev/foo? In which case its just
/dev/sd[abc...]

Check dmesg

dmesg should output something like:

Vendor: WDIGTL Model: ENTERPRISE Rev: 1.91
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI
revision: 02
Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST32155W Rev: 0528

Detected scsi disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0
Detected scsi disk sdc at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

sdb: sdb1
SCSI device sdc: 8386000 512-byte hdwr sectors (4294 MB)
sdc: unknown partition table

If you forget channel, HBA, or ID your device is on look in
/proc/scsi/scsi which should contain something like:

Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: WDIGTL Model: ENTERPRISE Rev: 1.91
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI
revision: 02

Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: COMPAQPC Model: ST34371N Rev: 0472

Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00
Vendor: TEAC Model: CD-ROM CD-516S Rev: 1.0D

All you have to do is match the HBA, channel, id, lun
tuple with the dmesg entry "Detected scsi disk..."
