Resetting an Open SCSI Device
The RESET SCSI Command (page 14-128) puts an Open SCSI device into the
STOPPED state, substate DOWN, reading for restarting:
1. Check the current status of the Open SCSI device:
-> STATUS $S11500
2. If it is not in the STOPPED state, substate DOWN:
-> RESET $S11500
3. Start the Open SCSI device:
-> START $S11500
4. Verify the process is started:
-> STATUS $S11500
Starting an Open SCSI Device
The START SCSI Command (page 14-134) puts the storage pool into the STARTED
state:
1. Start the device:
-> START $S11500
2. Check the status of the process:
-> STATUS $S11500
Stopping an Open SCSI Device
The STOP SCSI Command (page 14-151) places an Open SCSI device in the
STOPPED state:
1. Stop the device:
-> STOP $S11500
2. Verify the device is in the STOPPED state:
-> STATUS $S11500
Changing the Active Data Path for an Open SCSI Device
The SWITCH SCSI Command (page 14-157) switches the primary and backup paths
to an Open SCSI device. This command also designates the preferred SAC path for
any device accessible through dual paths.
