scsi_satl – check SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT) device support
Synopsis
scsi_satl [–help] [–log] [–quiet] [–verbose] DEVICE
Description
This bash shell script calls several SCSI commands on the given DEVICE that is assumed to be an ATA device behind a SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT) layer (SATL). The results of each test and a pass/fail count are output.
Options
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
-h,–help- print out the usage message then exit.
-L,–log- the output to stderr (from each SCSI command executed) is appended to a file called ‘scsi_satl.err’ in the current working directory.
-q,–quiet- the amount of output is reduced and typically only the pass/fail count is output.
-v,–verbose- increase level or verbosity.
Exit Status
The exit status of this script is the number of "bad" errors found. So an exit status of 0 means all mandatory SCSI commands worked as expected.
