Flag Descriptions:
The supported flags, their meanings, their associated operations, and their
|
acceptable ranges are as follows:

<
(block size x blocking factor)
<
2097152}
|
-c Operation Count (eof, fsf, fsr, bsf, bsr) {0 - 65535}
|
-d Destination Address (mov) {device specific, determine range from Element Info}
|
-f Device Special File Name (always required) {/dev/rmt/1st or similar}

|
-n Blocking Factor (rea, wri) {0
>
(block size x blocking factor)
<
2097152}
|
-o Operation (always required) {refer to previous list}
|
-r Random Seed (wri) {0 - 65535}
|
-s Source Address (mov, pos) {device specific, determine range from Element Info}
|
-t Type of Parameter Value
|
(gpo) {1=logical block, 2=physical block}
|
(spo) {1=logical block, 2=physical block}
|
(gpa) {1=block size, 2=compression, 3=buffering, 4=immediate, 5=trailer, 6=write protect, 7=acf
|
mode, 8=capacity, 9=sili}
|
(spa) {1=block size, 2=compression, 3=buffering, 4=immediate, 5=trailer, 6=write protect,
|
8=capacity, 9=sili}
|
(msg) {1=display msg0, 2=display msg1, 3=flash msg0, 4=flash msg1, 5=alternate msg1/msg2}
|
-v Verbose Mode (optional for all commands, stand-alone flag) {no value required, absence of flag
|
means quiet mode}
|
-w Open Mode (optional for all commands) {1=read/write, 2=read only (default), 3=write only, 4=append}
|
-x Parameter Value
|
(lck) {1=lock, 2=unlock}
|
(lod) {1=load, 2=unload}
|
(spo) {0 - 65535}
|
(spa) {0 - 65535}
|
-y Messages (msg) {message1,message2}
|
-z Input/Output File Name
|
(sdp) {path and name of the file in which to store dump}
|
(dmc) {path and name of the microcode image file}
|
(wri) {path and name of the file containing write data pattern}
|
Notes:
|
1. For read and write operations, the size of one buffer of data transferred during a single SCSI read or
|
write command is determined by the product of the Block Size value and the B Factor value. The
|
number of these buffers transferred is determined by Multiplier value. The actual total number of bytes
|
transferred is then (Block Size) x (Blocking Factor) x (Multiplier). If the device is set to fixed block
|
mode (block size not equal to zero), the product of Block Size and Blocking Factor must be a multiple
|
of the device block size setting.
