SCST Configuration/Administration scripts. Here you'll find scstadmin which reads a configuration file /etc/scst.conf, or one if your choosing. With it you can manually or automatically configure every aspect of SCST incuding enabling/disabling target mode on your target SCSI controller. The old directory contains scst_db which uses a mysql backend database to configure SCST but doesn't handle all the things scstadmin handles. The perl module SCST::SCST is very generic and tries to handle error checking as well. The init script was written for debian but should work on most distributions. scst-0.7.4 This is the SCST Perl module required by scstadmin and scst_db. scstadmin Script which can accept operations on a command line or from a configuration file. See scst.conf. For command help, #> scstadmin old Script which configures SCST using configurations found in a database. See the examples directory database schema and example data. You will need to edit the config file scst_db.conf to refect your environment. scst.conf Configuration file for scst script. Usually stored in /etc. examples Configuration examples. init.d/scst Init script to start SCST on boot which uses scstadmin. Installation: ============= Installation is simple. #> make #> make install This installs scstadmin, the init.d script and the perl module. Getting Started: ================ The scstadmin script is much more functional than scst_db at this point but uses a standard text-based config file. The original thought behind scst_db was to write a daemon process which would except network connections and issue SCST commands. A client app would then connect to that port. Copy scst.conf to /etc and edit it to your liking. if you have an existing configuration then have scstadmin write it out to a config file for you: #> scstadmin -WriteConfig /etc/scst.conf When removing devices, users or groups from the config file keep in mind that "scstadmin -config" will NOT remove those configurations from the running system unless you use the -ForceConfig flag. Also, using the init script to reload the configuration #> /etc/init.d/scst reload-config will also not remove configurations from a running system. Mark.Buechler@gmail.com
