- TEMPLATE: GvpScsiCtrl (option)
-
- where option is one of the following:
-
- -m This option will force gvpscsi.device to
- re-examine the SCSI bus and mount any cartridges
- inserted into removable media drives that were
- recognized when the system was booted.
-
- -r This option will force gvpscsi.device to
- re-examine the SCSI bus for drives (of any type)
- that it did not recognize when the system booted
- (i.e. a drive that is slow to spin-up from a
- cold start).
-
- -s This option is similar to the one above, except
- that if it locates a removable media device
- without a cartridge inserted, it will not return
- control back to the parent CLI until a cartridge
- is mounted and spun-up. (This can be RUN >NIL:
- in the startup-sequence, and then whenever a
- cartridge is first inserted into the drive, it
- will immediately be recognized).
-
- <UnitID> (DCOFF|DCON) This option forces gvpscsi.device
- to recognize Disconnect/ReConnect requests from
- a device or tells it to ignore those requests,
- regardless of what the information in a Rigid
- Disk Block indicates. This is useful for drives
- that do not support the Disconnect/ReConnect
- functions, but do not have a Rigid Disk Block
- either (i.e. a streaming tape drive).
