scsimgr(8)
NAME
  scsimgr - 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 databases:

  -scan_all
      Request that the kernel scan all SCSI buses for devices. If there have
      been device changes on any of the buses, the on-disk database 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 processes
	 accessing SCSI devices.

  -scan_bus bus=n
      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.

  -scan_single bus=n target=n
      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.

  -sync
      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.

  bus=n
      The number of a bus. The number must be 0 or larger.

  target=n
      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
       utilities 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:

  0 (Zero)
      Success.

  1   Failure.

FILES
  /sbin/scsimgr
      Executable image.

  /etc/sysconfigtab
      System configuration options.

  /sbin/bcheckrc
      Contains an entry to define /scsimgr utility to boot process.
