SCSI_SATL

NAME

scsi_satl − check SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT) device support

SYNOPSIS

scsi_satl [−−help] [−−log] [−−quiet] [−−verbose] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION

This Bourne shell script calls several SCSI commands on the given DEVICE that is assumed to be an ATA device behind a SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT) layer (SATL). The results of each test and a pass/fail count are output.

OPTIONS

Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
−h
, −−help

print out the usage message then exit.

−L, −−log

the output to stderr (from each SCSI command executed) is appended to a file called ’scsi_satl.err’ in the current working directory.

−q, −−quiet

the amount of output is reduced and typically only the pass/fail count is output.

−v, −−verbose

increase level or verbosity.

EXIT STATUS

The exit status of this script is the number of "bad" errors found. So an exit status of 0 means all mandatory SCSI commands worked as expected.
