for each device. - Added option processing. The new API wants the option BLOCKIO, but SCST then shows the device having been opened with option BIO. We now warp BIO to BLOCKIO. - Added the concept of handler aliases. Handler vdisk with option BLOCKIO shows as a handler of vdisk_blk. We now warp vdisk_blk to just vdisk. git-svn-id: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/scst/svn/trunk@184 d57e44dd-8a1f-0410-8b47-8ef2f437770f
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. Mark.Buechler@gmail.com
