I hope to reverse engineer the driver so that I can... (0 Replies)

NAME
vparutil - get and set SCSI parameters for SCSI controllers from a virtual partition
SYNOPSIS
dev_path
dev_path
dev_path scsi_id] scsi_rate]
DESCRIPTION
The command gets and sets SCSI parameters for SCSI controllers within a running virtual partition. When setting the SCSI parameters using
the option, the virtual partition which owns the specified SCSI controller must be in the down state. If not, the command will fail with
the appropriate error code.
The SCSI parameters for a given SCSI controller must first be set (from the firmware BCH prompt or using the option) before the parameters
can be retrieved using the option.
The command is allowed on Itanium(R)-based platforms for compatibility. No action is taken for the command.
Options
recognizes the following command-line options:
Deletes an entry for the specified SCSI controller at
dev_path from the SCSI table.
Gets the SCSI parameters for the specified SCSI controller at
dev_path.
Sets the SCSI parameters for the specified SCSI controller at
dev_path.
Operands
recognizes the following command-line operands:
dev_path The device path of the SCSI controller.
id The SCSI ID for the specified controller (defaults to 7).
rate The SCSI rate for the specified controller. This parameter can have one of two values: for the corresponding fast wide and
ultra wide SCSI interfaces.
Note
For managing SCSI controllers, use corresponding SCSI utilities. For further information refer to
SECURITY RESTRICTIONS
This command is restricted to processes owned by superuser.
When virtual partition flexible administrative capability is enabled, only a Designated-Admin vPar can set SCSI parameters for SCSI con-
trollers.
EXAMPLES
Set the SCSI ID for controller at 0/0/2/0 to 3 with the fast wide rate:
RETURN VALUE
Successful.
Invalid SCSI controller specification.
Invalid SCSI ID.
Could not communicate with virtual partition monitor.
Virtual partition which owns SCSI controller is not in down state.
Internal firmware call failed.
Other error.
