Index NAME
scsi_info - SCSI device description tool
SYNOPSIS
scsi_infodevice
DESCRIPTION
Scsi_infoopens the specified SCSI device file, and retrieves itsactual SCSI address parameters. It also looks up the device in
/proc/scsi/scsiand retrieves the device's vendor information, if available. Itsoutput is a pair of Bourne-style shell commands to define the
SCSI_IDand
MODELvariables based on this information. The
SCSI_IDvariable has three comma-separated fields: the SCSI channel number,the device ID, and the logical unit number. In most cases, thechannel and logical unit will be 0.
The reason for the existence of this utility lies in the peculiarmethod for assigning minor device numbers to Linux SCSI devices.Devices are numbered based on the order in which they are detected,irrespective of their device addresses. This tool automaticallyconverts these arbitrary device assignments back to theuser-configured addresses.
