.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
allows a user or system administrator to issue commands to and otherwise
|
|
control SCSI devices and busses. It is used by specifying a device or
|
|
bus to manipulate, the command to perform, and any arguments the command
|
|
may require.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
determines if the specified device is an actual device or a SCSI bus
|
|
automatically, and selects the appropriate command set.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For commands which
|
|
.Nm
|
|
issues a SCSI command to the device directly, any returned sense information
|
|
will be decoded by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
and displayed to the standard output.
|
|
.Sh DEVICE COMMANDS
|
|
The following commands are supported for SCSI devices:
|
|

grown defect list. This command is only supported on
|
|
direct access devices.

|
.Nm reset
|
|
.Pp
|

ioctl.
|
|
.Sh BUS COMMANDS
|
|
The following commands are supported for SCSI busses:

|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm scan
|
|
.Ar target
|
|
.Ar lun
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Scan the SCSI bus for devices. This is useful if a device was not
|
|
connected or powered on when the system was booted. The
|
|
.Ar target
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar lun
|
|
arguments specify which SCSI target and lun on the bus is to be scanned.
|
|
Either may be wildcarded by specifying the keyword
|
|
.Dq any
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq all .
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
When scanning the scsi bus, information about newly recognized devices
|
|
is printed to console. No information is printed for already probed
|
|
devices.
