Question 1: What will happen if we issue the below command ?
# echo "1" > /sys/class/fc_host/host/issue_lip
Answer :
This operation performs a Loop Initialization Protocol (LIP) and then scans the interconnect and causes the SCSI layer to be updated to reflect the devices currently on the bus. A LIP is, essentially, a bus reset, and will cause device addition and removal. This procedure is necessary to configure a new SCSI target on a Fibre Channel interconnect. Bear in mind that issue_lip is an asynchronous operation.
The command may complete before the entire scan has completed. You must monitor /var/log/messages to determine when it is done. The lpfc and qla2xxx drivers support issue_lip
Question2 :
What will happen if we issue the below command ? what does "- - -" mean in the command?
# echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan
Answer:
It means that you are echoing a wildcard value of "channel target and lun", and the operating system will rescan the device path.
