|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm scsiformat
|
|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm scsiformat
|
|
utility can be used to format SCSI disks
|
|
on systems that support on-line SCSI formatting
|
|
(currently this is limited to the HP300 and SPARC ports).
|
|
It will also show the various parameters set in the SCSI controller.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Modify how the SCSI mode sense page query is constructed.
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm scsiformat
|
|
asks for the current settings.
|
|
The page-control flag is one of:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XXX -compact
|
|
.It Li c
|
|
gets current settings.
|
|
.It Li d
|
|
gets default settings (those provided by the disk's manufacturer).
|
|
.It Li s
|
|
gets saved settings (those that persist across power cycles).
|
|
.It Li v
|
|
shows which parameters are variable.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Don't format, instead display the disk parameters.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
These should mostly be self-explanatory.
|
|
A copy of the SCSI standard (or a more readable derivative)
|
|
may be useful, however.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm scsiformat
|
|
utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
