set_state(1M)

NAME
     set_state - Set device state

SYNOPSIS
     /opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/set_state [ -w ] state eq

AVAILABILITY
     SUNWsamfs

DESCRIPTION
     set_state will change the state of a removable media  device
     eq  to state.  If -w is specified, the command will wait for
     the  operation  to  complete   before   terminating.   Note:
     set_state cannot be used to change a file system partition's
     allocation state.

     The valid states are:

     on      The device is usable by Sun QFS or SAM-QFS file sys-
             tems.   A  device  moving  to  the  on state will be
             unloaded if there is media mounted.

     idle    The device will not be selected for  use  by  either
             Sun QFS or SAM-QFS
              file  systems.   Any  existing  activity  will   be
             allowed   to   complete.   Once  there  is  no  more
             activity, the device  will  be  placed  in  the  off
             state.

     unavail The device is unavailable for use  by  Sun  QFS  and
             SAM-QFS  file  systems  and most Sun QFS and SAM-QFS
             commands.  The only valid commands for a  device  in
             this    state    are   load(1M),   unload(1M),   and
             set_state(1M).  A device moving to the unavail state
             will be unloaded if there is media mounted.

     off     The device is unusable by SSun QFS and SAM-QFS  file
             systems.   A device moving to the off state from on,
             idle or unavail will be unloaded if there  is  media
             mounted.  The  only state a down device may be moved
             to is off.
