SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem (G06.28+, H06.05+, J06.03+)
#type
is the adapter type, for example FCSA.
#SAC-n
is the number of the SAC on the adapter.
GRP-g.MOD-m.SLOT-s
is the physical location (group, module, and slot) of the adapter. g cannot have a leading
zero.
Wild-card characters are supported.

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 “Configuring and Managing Open SCSI Devices” (page 170).
The SCSI object has this format:
$SCSI-device-name [-P | -B ]
$SCSI-device-name
is the name of the Open SCSI process controlling the Open SCSI device. The format is a dollar
sign ($) 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, which configures and manages all
