scsictl - Sends management commands to the piscsi process
SYNOPSIS
scsictl -e | -l | -m | -o | -v | -D | -I | -L | -O | -P | -S | -T | -V
| -X | [-C FILENAME:FILESIZE] | [-E FILENAME] | [-F IMAGE_FOLDER] | [-R
CURRENT_NAME:NEW_NAME] | [-c CMD] | [-f FILE|PARAM] | [-g LOG_LEVEL] |
[-h HOST] | [-i ID[:LUN]] | [-n NAME] | [-p PORT] | [-r RESERVED_IDS] |
[-s [FOLDER_PATTERN:FILE_PATTERN:OPERATIONS]] | [-t TYPE] | [-x CUR
RENT_NAME:NEW_NAME] | [-z LOCALE]
DESCRIPTION
scsictl sends commands to the piscsi process to make configuration ad
justments at runtime or to check the status of the devices.
Either the -i or -l option should be specified at one time. Not both.
You do NOT need root privileges to use scsictl. scsictl also runs on
non-Pi Linux platforms.
Note: The command and type arguments are case insensitive. Only the
first letter of the command/type is evaluated by the tool.
OPTIONS
-C FILENAME:FILESIZE
Create an image file in the default image folder with the speci
fied name and size in bytes.
-D Detach all devices.
-E FILENAME
Display information on an image file.
-F IMAGE_FOLDER
Set the default image folder.
-I Gets the list of reserved device IDs.
-L LOG_LEVEL
Set the piscsi log level (trace, debug, info, warning, error,
off).
-h HOST
The piscsi host to connect to, default is 'localhost'.
-e List all images files in the default image folder.
-N Lists all available network interfaces provided that they are
up.
-O Display the available piscsi server log levels and the current
log level.
-P Prompt for the access token in case piscsi requires authentica
tion.
-l List all of the devices that are currently being emulated by
PiSCSI, as well as their current status.
-m List all file extensions recognized by PiSCSI and the device
types they map to.
-o Display operation meta data information.
-R CURRENT_NAME:NEW_NAME
Rename an image file in the default image folder.
-p PORT
The piscsi port to connect to, default is 6868.
-r RESERVED_IDS
Comma-separated list of IDs to reserve. Pass an empty list in
order to not reserve anything.
-s [FOLDER_PATTERN:FILE_PATTERN:OPERATIONS]
Display server-side settings like available images or supported
device types.
-S Display statistics.
-T Display all device types and their properties.
-v Display the piscsi server version.
-V Display the scsictl version.
-X Shut down the piscsi process.
-d FILENAME
Delete an image file in the default image folder.
-x CURRENT_NAME:NEW_NAME
Copy an image file in the default image folder.
-z LOCALE
Overrides the default locale for client-facing error messages.
-i ID[:LUN]
The SCSI ID and optional LUN that you want to control.
(0-7:0-31)
-c CMD Command is the operation being requested. Options are:
a(ttach): Attach disk
d(etach): Detach disk
i(nsert): Insert media (removable media devices only)
e(ject): Eject media (removable media devices only)
p(rotect): Write protect the medium (not for CD-ROMs, which
are always read-only)
u(nprotect): Remove write protection from the medium (not for
CD-ROMs, which are always read-only)
s(how): Display device information
eject, protect and unprotect are idempotent.
-b BLOCK_SIZE
The optional block size, either 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 bytes.
The default size is 512 bytes.
-f FILE|PARAM
Device-specific: Either a path to a disk image file, or a param
eter for a non-disk device. See the piscsi(1) man page for per
mitted file types.
-t TYPE
Specifies the device type. This type overrides the type derived
from the file extension of the specified image. See the
piscsi(1) man page for the available device types. For some
types there are shortcuts (only the first letter is required):
hd: SCSI hard disk drive
rm: SCSI removable media drive
cd: CD-ROM
mo: Magneto-Optical disk
lp: SCSI printer
bridge: Bridge device (Only applicable to the Sharp X68000)
daynaport: DaynaPort network adapter
services: Host services device
-n VENDOR:PRODUCT:REVISION
The vendor, product and revision for the device, to be returned
with the INQUIRY data. A complete set of name components must be
provided. VENDOR may have up to 8, PRODUCT up to 16, REVISION up
to 4 characters. Padding with blanks to the maxium length is au
tomatically applied. Once set the name of a device cannot be
changed.
-u UNIT
Unit number (0-31). This will default to 0. This option is only
used when there are multiple SCSI devices on a shared SCSI con
troller. (This is not common)
EXAMPLES
Show a listing of all of the SCSI devices and their current status.
scsictl -l
Example output:
+----+-----+------+-------------------------------------
| ID | LUN | TYPE | IMAGE FILE
+----+-----+------+-------------------------------------
| 0 | 1 | SCHD | /home/pi/harddisk.hda
+----+-----+------+-------------------------------------
Request the PiSCSI process to attach a disk (assumed) to SCSI ID 0 with
