The SCSI Object
The SCSI Object
The SCSI object represents an Open SCSI device, which is a storage device that uses
the small computer system interface (SCSI) to connect the device to the system.
The SCSI object can also represent an Open SCSI Fibre Channel device, which is a
Fibre Channel device that uses the SCSI protocol to communicate with the system
through the Open SCSI I/O process.
Unless stated otherwise, references to Open SCSI devices also refer to Open SCSI
Fibre Channel devices.
For more information, see Section 12, Configuring and Managing Open SCSI Devices.
The SCSI object has this format:
$SCSI-device-name
is the name of the Open SCSI process controlling the Open SCSI device. The
format is a dollar sign ($) followed by a maximum of seven alphanumeric
characters, the first of which must be alphabetic.
-P | -B
indicates a path to the primary or backup Open SCSI device.
Wild-card characters are supported.
Examples
$DEV0
$DEV1-P
$SCSI1
SCSI Object States
The state of a SCSI object provides current status information about the SCSI device
or a path to that SCSI device.
The SUBSYS Object
The SUBSYS object represents the $ZZSTO storage subsystem manager process.
Use the SUBSYS object to query and configure the storage subsystem manager,
$SCSI-device-name [-P | -B ]
