General description

This section describes how to find proper "/dev/sg" device for CHARON mapping

...

Procedures of finding the target "/dev/sg" device

Method 1

Open a terminal console and issue:

# lsscsi -g

The output will look something like(info) If the "lsscsi" command is not installed on your system, use "yum install lsscsi" to make it available. If you cannot install "lsscsi", use method 2 or method 3 described below.

Output example1:

[0:0:0:0]

disk VMware Virtual disk 1.0 /dev/sda

    disk    VMware   Virtual disk     1.0   /dev/sda   /dev/sg0


[0:0:10:0]

tape COMPAQ SDLT320 5F5F /dev/st0

  tape    COMPAQ   SDLT320          5F5F  /dev/st0   /dev/sg9


[0:0:11:0]

tape COMPAQ SDLT320 5F5F

   tape    COMPAQ   SDLT320          5F5F  /dev/st1

  /dev/sg10

Method 2

Open a terminal console and issue:

# cat /proc/scsi/sg/device_hdr; cat /proc/scsi/sg/devices

The output will look something likeOutput example:

host    chan    id      lun     type    opens   qdepth  bus    online
4       0       0       0       5       1       1       0      1
5       0       0       0       0       1       1       0      1

The fifth field column ("type") is the device type.value has the following correspondence:

ValueDevice
0Disk
1Tape
5CD-ROM
8Tape changer

The "N" in the "/dev/sgN" device is the line number in this table (starting from 0) corresponded to the devices CHARON-AXP will use.Thus corresponding to the output provided by the commands above without taking the header into account so here "/dev/sg0" will be corresponds to the the CD-ROM mapping in this example.

Method 3

On a freshly booted system, issue the following command:

# dmesg | grep sg

The output will look like that:

[ 1.503622] sr 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 5
[ 1.780897] sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0

(warning) This table lists all the devices, not only the real SCSI ones (SATA/IDE for example). CHARON supports only real SCSI devices.
