SYNOPSIS

SUNWsamfs

DESCRIPTION

sam-scannerd monitors the manually-mounted devices. It will periodically check each device for newly inserted media. If sam-scannerd finds media in the device, it will scan it for a label. If a label is found, it will check the preview table to see if there are any requests for this media. If requests are found, the Oracle HSM file system is notified and the device is assigned to the request.

sam-scannerd is started automatically by sam-amld if there are any manually-mounted devices defined in the configuration file. See mcf (4).

mshmid is the id of the master shared memory segment created by sam-amld. pshmid is the id of the preview shared memory segment created by sam-amld.
