scsimgr(8)scsimgr(8)NAMEscsimgr - manage SCSI devices and device databases
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/scsimgr -option [operands...]
OPTIONS
The Update Options
Use the following options to update device special files and the data‐
bases: Request that the kernel scan all SCSI buses for devices. If
there have been device changes on any of the buses, the on-disk data‐
base and device special files are updated to reflect the changes.
Note
The scan_all command should be used with caution. On systems
with a large number of SCSI buses, the -scan_all option can take
a long time to run and can affect the performance of other pro‐
cesses accessing SCSI devices. Request that the kernel scan the
specified bus for devices. If there have been device changes on
the bus, the device special files are updated to reflect the
changes. Request that the kernel scan the specified bus for a
specific device. If there has been a change to the attributes of
that device, the device special file for the device is updated
to reflect the changes. Synchronizes the information in the
device special files and the kernel in-memory database.
OPERANDS
The following operands are used in many of the command options. Other
operands are unique to individual options and are defined with them.
The number of a bus. The number must be 0 or larger. The number of a
target device. The range of the number is 0 to 15.
DESCRIPTION
Note
See the hwmgr(8) and dsfmgr(8) reference pages for information on util‐
ities that supersede the scsimgr utility.
The scsimgr utility automatically makes device special files for new
devices.
The scan options stop updating the device special files for a device
when they encounter an error.
EXIT STATUS
The following is the exit status when the command runs from a program:
Success. Failure.
FILES
Executable image. System configuration options. Contains an entry to
define /scsimgr utility to boot process.
