NAME

       lssf - list a special file

SYNOPSIS

       special_file ...

       special_file

DESCRIPTION

       In the first form, lists information about a special file.  For each special_file name, determines the major number of the special file and
       whether it is block or character (using It then scans the system for the device that is associated with the special file.  When the  device
       is found, the minor number of the special file is decoded.

       A  mnemonic  description  of  the  minor number is printed on standard output along with the hardware path (in other words, address) of the
       device.	Mnemonics used to describe the fields are closely related to the options used with (see mksf(1M)).

       In the second form, displays the list of stale device special files present in selected directories under the directory.

       In the third form, executes a Critical Resource Analysis (CRA) on the

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

	      Displays the Critical Resource Analysis (CRA) of

	      Displays the stale device special files present in the
		   directories below, which contain special files for mass storage devices.  The stale device special files  correspond  to  nodes
		   that  have  an entry in the system I/O configuration files but the corresponding device is not found.  The device special files
		   can either be legacy or persistent (see intro(7)).

DIAGNOSTICS

       Most diagnostic messages from are self explanatory.  Listed below are some messages deserving further  clarification.   Warnings  allow	to
       continue.

   Warnings
       There is no information about the device in the kernel.
		 The special file is not usable.  Use to remove the special file (see rmsf(1M)).

       The major number associated with the special file is not in the kernel.
		 Use to add the appropriate driver to the kernel (see kcmodule(1M)).

       The indicated device driver or device class
		 is  not present in the kernel.  An of a special file pointing to an unusable device fails.  To make the device usable, the appro-
		 priate device driver and/or device class must be added to the kernel using If the device is no longer needed, should be  used	to
		 remove the special files and update the system I/O configuration files.

       The file is not associated with an IO device.

EXAMPLES

       Suppose a special file is created with the command The command then produces:

NAME

       scsimgr - manage SCSI devices and device databases

SYNOPSIS

       /sbin/scsimgr -option  [operands...]

OPTIONS

   The Update Options
       Use  the  following  options  to update device special files and the databases: Request that the kernel scan all SCSI buses for devices. If
       there have been device changes on any of the buses, the on-disk database and device special files are updated to reflect the changes.

									      Note

	      The scan_all command should be used with caution.  On systems with a large number of SCSI buses, the -scan_all  option  can  take  a
	      long  time to run and can affect the performance of other processes accessing SCSI devices.  Request that the kernel scan the speci-
	      fied bus for devices.  If there have been device changes on the bus, the device special files are updated to  reflect  the  changes.
	      Request  that  the kernel scan the specified bus for a specific device. If there has been a change to the attributes of that device,
	      the device special file for the device is updated to reflect the changes.  Synchronizes the information in the device special  files
	      and the kernel in-memory database.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are used in many of the command options.	Other operands are unique to individual options and are defined with them.
       The number of a bus. The number must be 0 or larger.  The number of a target device. The range of the number is 0 to 15.

DESCRIPTION

									  Note

       See the hwmgr(8) and dsfmgr(8) reference pages for information on utilities that supersede the scsimgr utility.

       The scsimgr utility automatically makes device special files for new devices.

       The scan options stop updating the device special files for a device when they encounter an error.

EXIT STATUS

       The following is the exit status when the command runs from a program: Success.	Failure.

FILES

       Executable image.  System configuration options.  Contains an entry to define /scsimgr utility to boot process.
