SCSI_START(8) | SG3_UTILS | SCSI_START(8) |
scsi_start - start one or more SCSI disks
scsi_start [--help] [--verbose] [--wait] DEVICE [DEVICE]*
This bash shell script calls the sg_start utility on each given DEVICE. The purpose is to spin up (start) each given DEVICE.
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
If a large number of disks are spun up at the same time (i.e. without the --wait option) then the power supply may be overloaded.
The exit status of this script is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise the exit status is that of the last sg_start utility called. See the sg3_utils(8) man page.
