SCSI Devices - How do I find them? 1

[josel]

Howdy!

Just installed SuSe 9.1 Prof and it went great (I think!).

I put together a nice little server to play with LINUX and learn as I am interested in migrating from SCO UNIX to LINUX. I know, that during installation, Yast detected and intalled drivers for my SCSI devices, a DDS4 Tape Drive and an Adaptec Card.

How can I view my hardwared configuration (in unix I use `hwconfig -h`)?

How can I tell which SCSI devices I have and their respective settings (in unix I use `sconf -v`)?

One other thing, I've noticed my tape drive LEDs blink in a rather peculiar pattern, I never noticed this with SCO. I know the tape drive is good and so is the card (pulled them from a SCO box). Is this normal in LINUX or do you think I have a problem?

Thank you all in advance!

Hallo josel,

scsiinfo(8) Scsiinfo User's Guide scsiinfo(8)



NAME
scsiinfo - query information from a scsi device

SYNOPSIS
scsiinfo [-options...] [device]

DESCRIPTION
scsiinfo queries information from an scsi target. This
means generally using the INQUIRY scsi command or reading
out SCSI-II mode pages (the number of the mode pages and
corresponding sections of the SCSI-II sections is given
below). It allows also to modify some of these settings on
the scsi device (if it supports it).

Except for the -v and -l options you must specify exactly
one scsi device to work on. You may specify any linux scsi
device disk, tape, cdrom, generic scsi.

Thank you both for your replies.

BIS, that link was very helpfull.

marsd, I know, the thing is that I brought the PC to my work office and left the manuals back at my home office. Just needed to get a head start and figure I asked.

Thank you both!
