- .SH NAME
- mkscsidev \- Create scsi devices.
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- \fBmkscsidev\fR [\fIoptions\fR] \fIdeviceName\fR
- .SH OPTIONS
- .IP "\fB\-server \fIserverID\fR" 15
- \fIServerID\fR is the Sprite ID of the server for the device.
- The default is to set up the device to use the local host.
-
- .IP "\fB\-hbaType \fIhbaType\fR" 15
- \fIHbaType\fR 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.
-
- .IP "\fB\-devType \fIdeviceType\fR" 15
- \fIDevType\fR is the numeric identifier for the type of device.
- The default is 4 (SCSI disk).
-
- .IP "\fB\-hba \fIhba\fR" 15
- \fIHba\fR is the id of the hba controller that the scsi device is connected to.
- The default is 0.
-
- .IP "\fB\-target \fItarget\fR" 15
- \fITarget\fR is the scsi target id of the scsi device.
- The default is 0.
-
- .IP "\fB\-lun \fIlun\fR" 15
- \fILun\fR is the scsi logical unit number of the scsi device.
- The default is 0.
-
- .IP "\fB\-disk\fR" 15
- The \fB\-disk\fR option is used to create all the partitions for a scsi
- disk. In this case the \fIdeviceName\fR is treated as a prefix, and
- 8 devices are made by appending the letters 'a' through 'h' to the prefix.
-
- .IP "\fB\-rawDisk\fR" 15
- The \fB\-rawDisk\fR 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 \fIdeviceName\fR is treated as a prefix, and
- 8 devices are made by appending the letters 'a' through 'h' to the prefix.
- .IP "\fB\-tape\fR" 15
- The \fB\-tape\fR option is used to create a device file for a SCSI tape.
- .IP "\fB\-rawScsi\fR" 15
- The \fB\-rawScsi\fR option is used to create a device file for a raw
- SCSI device.
- .IP "\fB\-specific \fIvalue\fR" 15
- 4 bits of the device unit number are device specific.
- The \fB\-specific\fR option can be used to set those bits.
- option.
- .IP "\fB\-help\fR" 15
- Print a summary of the command-line options.

- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- \fBMkscsidev\fR is used to create SCSI devices.
- It is a user-friendly front end for the \fBfsmakedev\fR
- program.
- The \fB\-disk\fR option is probably the most useful.
- It treats the \fIdeviceName\fR as a prefix and creates devices for all
- partitions of the disk.
- .SH EXAMPLES
- \fBmkscsidev \-hba 2 \-target 1 \-disk /dev/rsd21\fR creates the devices:
- .br
- /dev/rsd21a, /dev/rsd21b, /dev/rsd21c, /dev/rsd21d, /dev/rsd21e, /dev/rsd21f,
- /dev/rsd21g, and /dev/rsd21h,
- .br
- using the following calls to \fBfsmakedev\fR:
- .br
- fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2064 /dev/rsd21a
- .br
- fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2065 /dev/rsd21b
- .br
- fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2066 /dev/rsd21c
- .br
- fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2067 /dev/rsd21d
- .br
- fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2068 /dev/rsd21e
- .br
- fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2069 /dev/rsd21f
- .br
- fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2070 /dev/rsd21g
- .br
- fsmakedev -d 4 -u 2071 /dev/rsd21h
- .sp
- \fBmkscsidev \-server 10 \-devType 5 \-lun 1 \-specific 10 /dev/foo\fR produces the device /dev/foo using the following call to \fBfsmakedev\fR:
- .br
- fsmakedev -s 10 -d 5 -u 138 /dev/foo
- .SH KEYWORDS
- scsi, disk, partitions, fsmakedev, device
