NAME

scsimgr_eschgr — SCSI class driver eschgr plug-in for scsimgr

DESCRIPTION

The SCSI class driver eschgr plug-in for scsimgr implements management and diagnostic operations specific to classes of devices bound to the eschgr driver. eschgr is the native HP-UX SCSI class driver that handles, by default, all library/changer devices.

The plug-in handles the following operations for driver eschgr:

Display and clear driver eschgr global statistics and the statistics it maintains on instances of LUNs bound to it, and on related LUN paths.
Display status and other information maintained by driver eschgr on LUNs bound to it.
Get, set and save driver eschgr global and per-lun instance attributes.

Commands

The user can explicitly send the following scsimgr commands to driver eschgr plug-in by specifying the -d eschgr option:

clear_stat: Clears statistics.
get_attr: Displays information on attributes.
get_info: Displays status and other information.
get_stat: Displays statistics.
save_attr: Saves value of attributes in a persistent store.
set_attr: Set current values of attributes.

Note: Refer to scsimgr(1M) for the syntax of the above commands.

However, the only instances where it is necessary to explicitly send a command to the plug-in is when performing operations on objects global to driver eschgr: global statistics, attributes or status information. In all the other cases, scsimgr automatically invokes the plug-in to perform the driver specific part of the operation, when the operation applies to LUNs bound to driver eschgr or to their LUN paths.

Attributes

The following table lists driver eschgr specific attributes. For details on the concept of attribute refer to scsimgr(1M).

Note: The following conventions are used:

RO is Read Only.
RW is Read Write.
uint32 is unsigned 32 bits integer.

`Object`	`Attribute Name`	`RO/RW`	`Type`	`Description`
`Global`	`version`	`RO`	`string`	Version of driver `eschgr`
`LUN`	`default_secs`	`RW`	`uint32`	Timeout for all commands not referenced below. Default: 30
	`move_secs`	`RW`	`uint32`	Timeout for the move command. Default: 1200
	`readelem_secs`	`RW`	`uint32`	Timeout for the read element status command. Default: 600
	`initelem_secs`	`RW`	`uint32`	Timeout for the initialize element status command. Default: 600
	`readaddr_secs`	`RW`	`uint32`	Timeout for modesense 0x1D command. Default: 600
	`exchange_secs`	`RW`	`uint32`	Timeout for the exchange command. Default: 600

I/O Load Balancing and Multi-Pathing Policies

The eschgr driver does not support load balancing and has minimal support for multi-pathing.

When the device is first opened after a system boot, a path is chosen and will remain fixed. If the path fails, the next open will pick a new path.

EXAMPLES

To display scsimgr eschgr plug-in general help and supported commands:

scsimgr -h -d eschgr 

To get eschgr driver global statistics:

scsimgr get_stat -d eschgr 

To clear eschgr driver global statistics:

scsimgr clear_stat -d eschgr 

To get eschgr driver global status information:

scsimgr get_info -d eschgr 

To display information about eschgr driver global attributes:

scsimgr get_attr -d eschgr
