Usage: sg_reset [--bus] [--device] [--help] [--host] [--no-esc] [--no-escalate] [--target]
[--verbose] [--version] DEVICE
where:
--bus|-b SCSI bus reset (SPI concept), might be all targets
--device|-d device (logical unit) reset
--help|-h print usage information then exit
--host|-H host (bus adapter: HBA) reset
--no-esc|-N overrides default action and only does reset requested
--no-escalate The same as --no-esc|-N
--target|-t target reset. The target holds the DEVICE and perhaps
other LUs
--verbose|-v increase the level of verbosity
--version|-V print version number then exit
Use SG_SCSI_RESET ioctl to send a reset to the host/bus/target/device
along the DEVICE path. The DEVICE itself is known as a logical unit (LU)
in SCSI terminology.
Be warned: if the '-N' option is not given then if '-d' fails then a
target reset ('-t') is instigated. And it '-t' fails then a bus reset
('-b') is instigated. And if '-b' fails then a host reset ('h') is
instigated. It is recommended to use '-N' to stop the reset escalation.
Options (9)
| Option | Description | Source |
|---|
--no-escalate | The same as -N, --no-esc. | help + man |
-b, --bus | attempt a SCSI bus reset. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-d, --device | attempt a SCSI device reset. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-z, --help | print the usage message then exit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-H, --host | attempt a host reset. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-N, --no-esc | without this option, if a device reset (--device) fails then it will escalate to a target reset. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-t, --target | attempt a SCSI target reset. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-v, --verbose | increase the degree of verbosity (debug messages). (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-V, --version | prints the version string then exits. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
