Specifications
SCSICOPY
DESCRIPTION
The
Ampro
SCSI
COpy
utility allows you
to
copy a block
of
data
between
two SCSI
direct
access devices (e.g.
hard
disk
drives).
Although
the
program
must
be
run
from
~OS,
SCSI
COpy
pays
no
attention
to
the
contents
of
the
source SCSI device,
and
does
not
care
what
(if
any) operating system has
been
used
to
write
data
to it.
You
can specify
any
two SCSI controller 10's, drive Logical Unit Numbers (LUN's),
and
any
block range.
OPERATION
Warning!
(1)
SCSICOPY
will
destroy
data
on
the
destination
device
within
the
specified
block
range.
Use
with
extreme care!
(2) Copying less than
the
full drive may leave
part
of
the
destination device unusable.
To
run
the program, type its name
at
the DOS command line:
A>SCSICOPY
<
Enter>
The
program
will
display a sign-on message and
will
then prompt you
to
press
the
<
Enter>
key
to
continue. After you press the
<Enter>
key, the program
will
prompt you for informa-
tion required, including the ftrst SCSI ID, frrst logical unit number, second SCSI ID, second
logical unit
number,
starting
block
number,
and
number
of
blocks
to
copy.
Then,
the
pro-
gram
will
copy the specifted segment between the two SCSI devices and report
on
any errors
that
occur during the process.
The
required parameters
are
defmed as follows:
•
SCSI
ID
-
Each
device's SCSI
10
is
determined
by
the
jumpering
of
the
device's SCSI
controller and is in the range 0 through 7.
• Logical
Unit
Number
(LUN) -
Each
device's logical
unit
number
is
based
on
how
the
device is connected to the controller and may also depend
on
the setting
of
jumpers
on
the device; it is generally 0
or
1.
• Block
Number
- A SCSI "block" is 512 bytes
of
data;
the
ftrst block
on
the
device is
numberedO.
The current version
of
SCSICOPY requires that the block starting numbers
on
the
two drives
be
the same, so only one starting block number is requested by
the
program.
