scsi_transport(9F)					   Kernel Functions for Drivers 					scsi_transport(9F)

NAME

       scsi_transport - request by a SCSI target driver to start a command

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>

       int scsi_transport(struct scsi_pkt *pkt);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS

       pkt	Pointer to a scsi_pkt(9S) structure.

DESCRIPTION

       Target  drivers use  scsi_transport() to request the host adapter driver to transport a command to the SCSI target device specified by pkt.
       The target driver must obtain resources for the packet using scsi_init_pkt(9F) prior to calling this function. The packet may  be  initial-
       ized  using  one  of  the  makecom(9F)  functions. scsi_transport() does not wait for the SCSI command to complete. See scsi_poll(9F) for a
       description of polled SCSI commands. Upon completion of the SCSI command the host adapter calls the completion
	routine provided by the target driver in the pkt_comp member of the scsi_pkt pointed to by pkt.

RETURN VALUES

       scsi_transport() returns:

       TRAN_ACCEPT	       The packet was accepted by the transport layer.

       TRAN_BUSY	       The packet could not be accepted because there was already a packet in  progress  for  this  target/lun,  the  host
			       adapter queue was full, or the target device queue was full.

       TRAN_BADPKT	       The DMA count in the packet exceeded the DMA engine's maximum DMA size.

       TRAN_FATAL_ERROR        A fatal error has occurred in the transport layer.

CONTEXT

       scsi_transport() can be called from user or interrupt context.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Using scsi_transport()

       if ((status = scsi_transport(rqpkt)) != TRAN_ACCEPT) {
	     scsi_log(devp, sd_label, CE_WARN,
		 "transport of request sense pkt fails (0x%x)
", status);
       }
