NAME

mkscsidev − Create scsi devices. 

SYNOPSIS

mkscsidev [options] deviceName

OPTIONS

−server serverID
ServerID is the Sprite ID of the server for the device.  The default is to set up the device to use the local host. 
 

−hbaType hbaType
HbaType is the numeric identifier for the type of HBA associated with the device. The default is 0.  The following are valid hba types: SCSI3 = 0; DecStation 3100 = 0; SCSI0 = 1; JAGUAR = 2. 
 

−devType deviceType
DevType is the numeric identifier for the type of device.  The default is 4 (SCSI disk). 
 

−hba hbaHba is the id of the hba controller that the scsi device is connected to.  The default is 0. 
 

−target targetTarget is the scsi target id of the scsi device.  The default is 0. 
 

−lun lunLun is the scsi logical unit number of the scsi device.  The default is 0. 
 

−diskThe −disk option is used to create all the partitions for a scsi disk.  In this case the deviceName is treated as a prefix, and 8 devices are made by appending the letters ’a’ through ’h’ to the prefix. 
 

−rawDiskThe −rawDisk option is used to create all the partitions for a raw scsi disk.  A raw disk is accessed without referencing the disk label.  In this case the deviceName is treated as a prefix, and 8 devices are made by appending the letters ’a’ through ’h’ to the prefix. 

−tapeThe −tape option is used to create a device file for a SCSI tape. 

−rawScsiThe −rawScsi option is used to create a device file for a raw SCSI device. 

−specific value4 bits of the device unit number are device specific.  The −specific option can be used to set those bits.  option. 

−helpPrint a summary of the command-line options. 
 

DESCRIPTION

Mkscsidev is used to create SCSI devices.  It is a user-friendly front end for the fsmakedev program.  The −disk option is probably the most useful.  It treats the deviceName as a prefix and creates devices for all partitions of the disk. 

EXAMPLES

mkscsidev −hba 2 −target 1 −disk /dev/rsd21 creates the devices:
/dev/rsd21a, /dev/rsd21b, /dev/rsd21c, /dev/rsd21d, /dev/rsd21e, /dev/rsd21f, /dev/rsd21g, and /dev/rsd21h,
using the following calls to fsmakedev:
fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2064 /dev/rsd21a
fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2065 /dev/rsd21b
fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2066 /dev/rsd21c
fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2067 /dev/rsd21d
fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2068 /dev/rsd21e
fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2069 /dev/rsd21f
fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2070 /dev/rsd21g
fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2071 /dev/rsd21h mkscsidev −server 10 −devType 5 −lun 1 −specific 10 /dev/foo produces the device /dev/foo using the following call to fsmakedev:
fsmakedev -s 10 -d 5 -u 138 /dev/foo
