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 This is the SCST Perl module required by scstadmin and scst_db.
Copy the SCST directory to your perl5 lib directory:
#> cp -r SCST /usr/lib/perl5/
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.
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.
