pscinfo − NetWorker autochanger utility program

SYNOPSIS

pscinfo −c {INQUIRY | SENSE} device

pscinfo −i device

pscinfo −e device

DESCRIPTION

pscinfo performs a few diagnostic functions with autochangers. A system administrator may find pscinfo useful for initializing or reporting the status of such a device independent of the use of NetWorker. 

Device is the name of the device (/dev/sjidNu1 or /dev/pscN; see psc(8)). 

OPTIONS

−c COMMAND
Special SCSI commands can be sent to the changer device.  The following key words and their descriptions are summarized below: INQUIRY displays the device type, product code, product ID, and product revision strings.  SENSE enables the changer to report on its operating mode parameters. The element address assignment page is reported. 

−i The Initialize Element Status command requests the changer to check all elements for the presence of a data cartridge.  The changer stores this information in its cartridge inventory.  Note that not all autochanger devices support this command. 

−e The Read Element Status command requests that the changer report the status of its internal elements.  Note that not all autochanger devices support this command.
