 NAME
sbdadm - SCSI Block Disk command line interface
 SYNOPSIS

sbdadm create-lu [-s, --size size] filename


sbdadm delete-lu lu_name


sbdadm import-lu lu_name


sbdadm list-lu lu_name


sbdadm modify-lu [-s, --size size] lu_name | filename


 DESCRIPTION

The sbdadm command creates and manages SCSI-block-device-based logical
units that are registered with the SCSI Target Mode Framework (STMF).
 SUB-COMMANDS

The sbdadm command supports the subcommands listed below. Note that if
you enter a question mark as an argument to the command (sbdadm ?),
sbdadm responds with a help display.
create-lu [-s, --size size] filename

Create a logical unit that can be registered with the STMF. For the -s
option, size is an integer followed by one of the following letters, to
indicate a unit of size:
k

kilobyte


m

megabyte


g

gigabyte


t

terabyte


p

petabyte


e

exabyte


If you do not specify size, the size defaults to the size of
filename.
The size specified can exceed the size of the file or device.


delete-lu lu_name

Deletes an existing logical unit that was created using sbdadm create-lu.
This effectively unloads the logical unit from the STMF framework. Any existing
data on the logical unit remains intact.


import-lu lu_name

Imports and loads a logical unit into the STMF that was previously created
using sbdadm create-lu and was since deleted from the STMF using
sbdadm delete-lu. On success, the logical unit is again made available to
the STMF. filename is the filename used in the sbdadm create-lu
command for this logical unit.


list-lu

List all logical units that were created using the sbdadm create-lu
command.


modify-lu [-s, --size size] lu_name |
filename

Modifies attributes of an logical unit created using the sbdadm create-lu
command. For the -s option, size is an integer value followed by a
unit specifier. The unit specifiers are as described above under
create-lu. When this option is specified, the existing size of the
logical unit is changed to the new size.
The size specified can exceed the size of the file or device represented by
lu_name.


 OPERANDS

sbdadm use the following operands:
filename

Name of an existing file or a fully qualified path to a raw block device.


lu_name

The 32-byte hexadecimal representation of the logical unit.


 EXAMPLES

Example 1 Creating a Logical Unit

The following series of commands creates a 10-gigabyte logical unit.

# touch /export/lun/0
# sbdadm create-lu -s 10g /export/lun/0
# sbdadm create-lu /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0


Example 2 Listing Logical Units

The following command lists all logical units.

# sbdadm list-lu
Found 2 LU(s)
