Once the address is selected the SCSI Bus Test Run menu is displayed. This
menus allows the user to transmit the SCSI Inquiry Command by pressing the Enter
key. The service aid then indicates the status of the transmission. When the
transmission is completed, the results of the transmission are displayed.

Notes:

A Check Condition can be returned when there is nothing wrong with the bus
or device.

AIX does not allow the command to be sent if the device is in use by another
process.

SCSI Device Identification and Removal

This service aid allows the user to choose a SCSI device or location from a menu
and to identify a device located in a system unit that uses a SCSI Enclosure
Services (SES) backplane.

The service aid also does the following:

Generates a menu displaying all SCSI devices.

Lists the device and all of it's sibling devices.

List all SCSI adapters and their ports.

List all SCSI devices on a port.

SCSD Tape Drive Service Aid

This service aid provides a means to obtain the status or maintenance information
from a SCSD tape drive. Only some models of SCSI tape drive are supported.

The service aid provides the following options:

Display time since a tape drive was last cleaned.

The time since the drive was last cleaned is displayed onto the screen. In
addition, a message whether the drive is recommended to be cleaned is also
displayed.

Copy a tape drive's trace table.

The trace table of the tape drive is written to diskettes or a file. The diskettes
must be formatted for DOS. Writing the trace table may require several diskettes.
