START SCSI Command 
This subsection describes the details about the START SCSI command. 
Use the START SCSI command to make a stopped Open SCSI device or a 
path to an Open SCSI device accessible to user processes. 
The command syntax is: 
START SCSI {$ device-name | $ device-name-path} 
Wild-card characters are supported. 
Examples Using START SCSI 
The following are examples of the START SCSI command: 
• To start all Open SCSI devices on the system (that are in the proper 
state to start), type: 
-> START SCSI $* 
• To start the backup path to the Open SCSI device $DEV0, type: 
-> START $DEV00-B 
START SCSI Considerations 
Before using the START SCSI command, consider the following: 
• Use the SCF STATUS SCSI command to verify that an Open SCSI 
device has been started. 
• If the START SCSI command is failing, see the Himalaya S-Series 
Hardware Support Guide for troubleshooting ideas.
