inquire

The inquire program (in /etc/LGTOuscsi on Solaris systems) lists SCSI devices available. The inquire program returns INQUIRY data either for the named SCSI device (with the -a option) or for all SCSI devices attached to the system.

The following example describes the format and options available for the inquire program:

inquire [-c] [-a b.t.l] 

• Enter the optional -a b.t.l argument to select a specific ordinal SCSI address, where b is the logical SCSI bus, t is the SCSI target, and l is the SCSI lun on that target.

• Enter the optional -c argument to force an INQUIRY command to be sent (to avoid picking up cached data that may be stale).

  The inquire program always uses the built-in system drivers to test SCSI devices. The device type or pathname printed by the inquire program may be incorrect for devices that require special, third-party drivers.

  Caution -

  The inquire program is not supported on HP-UX systems.
