Report Information

The fields shown in the previous examples of NAMES reports have these meanings:

Starting an Open SCSI Device

An Open SCSI device must be included in the system configuration database before
you can start it. For details on how to add an Open SCSI device to the system
configuration database, see

Adding an Open SCSI Device

on page 4-3.

You use the SCF START SCSI command to make a stopped Open SCSI device
accessible to user processes. When the START SCSI command finishes successfully,
the Open SCSI device is left in the STARTED state.

For complete details about the START SCSI command, including command syntax,
see the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.

Examples

To start all available Open SCSI devices:

-> START SCSI $*

To start $DEV0:

-> START $DEV0

Stopping an Open SCSI Device

You use the SCF STOP SCSI command to stop access to an Open SCSI device in a
orderly manner (the Open SCSI device is allowed to finish any current activity before it
is stopped). When the STOP SCSI command finishes, the Open SCSI device is left in
the STOPPED state. The Open SCSI device remains configured in the system
configuration database.

For complete details about the STOP SCSI command, including command syntax, see
the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.
