NAME
scsi_mandat − check SCSI device support for mandatory commands
SYNOPSIS
scsi_mandat [−−help] [−−log] [−−quiet] [−−verbose] DEVICE
DESCRIPTION
This bash shell script calls several SCSI commands on the given DEVICE. These SCSI commands are considered mandatory (although that varies a little depending on which standard/draft the DEVICE complies with). 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_mandat.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.
