NAME
       scsimgr - manage SCSI devices and device databases

SYNOPSIS
       /sbin/scsimgr -option  [operands...]

OPTIONS
   The Update Options
       Use  the following options to update device special files and the data‐
       bases: Request that the kernel scan all	SCSI  buses  for  devices.  If
       there  have  been device changes on any of the buses, the on-disk data‐
       base and device special files are updated to reflect the changes.

					    Note

	      The scan_all command should be used with	caution.   On  systems
	      with a large number of SCSI buses, the -scan_all option can take
	      a long time to run and can affect the performance of other  pro‐
	      cesses accessing SCSI devices.  Request that the kernel scan the
	      specified bus for devices.  If there have been device changes on
	      the  bus,	 the  device  special files are updated to reflect the
	      changes.	Request that the kernel scan the specified bus	for  a
	      specific device. If there has been a change to the attributes of
	      that device, the device special file for the device  is  updated
	      to  reflect  the	changes.   Synchronizes the information in the
	      device special files and the kernel in-memory database.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are used in many of the command options.	 Other
       operands	 are  unique  to individual options and are defined with them.
       The number of a bus. The number must be 0 or larger.  The number	 of  a
       target device. The range of the number is 0 to 15.

DESCRIPTION
					Note

       See the hwmgr(8) and dsfmgr(8) reference pages for information on util‐
       ities that supersede the scsimgr utility.

       The scsimgr utility automatically makes device special  files  for  new
       devices.

       The  scan  options  stop updating the device special files for a device
       when they encounter an error.

EXIT STATUS
       The following is the exit status when the command runs from a  program:
       Success.	 Failure.

FILES
       Executable  image.  System configuration options.  Contains an entry to
       define /scsimgr utility to boot process.
