NAME
vparutil - get and set SCSI parameters for SCSI controllers from a virtual partition
SYNOPSIS
vparutil -a
vparutil -d
dev_path
vparutil -g dev_path
vparutil -s dev_path [-i scsi_id][
-r scsi_rate]
DESCRIPTION
The
vparutil command gets and sets SCSI parameters for SCSI controllers within a running virtual
partition. When setting the SCSI parameters using the
-s 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
-s option) before the parameters can be retrieved using the -g option.
Only a superuser can execute the vparutil command.
Options
vparutil recognizes the following command-line options:
-a Displays all entries in the SCSI table.
-d Deletes an entry for the specified SCSI controller at dev_path from the SCSI table.
-g Gets the SCSI parameters for the specified SCSI controller at dev_path.
-s Sets the SCSI parameters for the specified SCSI controller at dev_path.
Operands
vparutil 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,
fast and
ultra, for the corresponding fast-wide and ultra-wide SCSI interfaces.
EXAMPLES
Set the SCSI ID for controller at 0/0/2/0 to 3 with the fast-wide rate:
vparutil -s 0/0/2/0 -i 3 -r fast
RETURN VALUE
0 Successful.
1 Invalid SCSI controller specification.
2 Invalid SCSI ID.
3 Could not communicate with virtual partition monitor.
4 Virtual partition which owns SCSI controller is not in down state.
5 Internal firmware call failed.
6 Other error.
