Software dependencies/prerequisites

Devices do not need to be claimed by the operating
system with ioscan for L&TT to access them.

The sctl driver must be installed for L&TT to access the
device you want to test. L&TT builds its own
pass-through SCSI device files using the sctl driver, so
that driver must be installed; however, L&TT does not
need the operating system to list any of the devices as
"CLAIMED." They may be listed that way (if the
appropriate driver is installed), but they don't need to
be for L&TT to fully access them (beginning with L&TT
v3.3).

Devices must NOT be listed as "NO HARDWARE" in
ioscan. If the device you want to test with L&TT is listed
as "NO HARDWARE" in ioscan, the communication
path between the host and the device is not working
and must be fixed before L&TT will be able to
communicate with the device.
