A.3.2.7

SCSI GEV

There are two reserved SCSI GEVs.

mot-/dev/scsi%d-mode

This GEV controls the host mode; that is, initiator or target, of the SCSI host controller. This
GEV is in the form mot-/dev/scsi%d-mode, where %d is the device instance; for example,
mot-/dev/scsi0-mode. MOTLoad expects a character value of t as input into this GEV.
MOTLoad uses the t character to identify the SCSI device as a target device. MOTLoad
identifies the SCSI device as an initiator device by default.

mot-/dev/scsi%d-id

This GEV controls the device ID of the SCSI host controller. This GEV is in the form
mot-/dev/scsi%d-id, where %d is the device instance; for example, mot-/dev-scsi0-id.
MOTLoad expects decimal or hexidecimal data as input into this GEV. MOTLoad uses a
default value of 7 for the device ID of an 8-bit (narrow) SCSI initiator device. MOTLoad uses
a default value of 15 for the device ID of a 16-bit (wide) SCSI initiator device. If the SCSI
device is a target device and the device ID is not specified, MOTLoad resets the device ID to
0.

Test Suite GEVs

Use the example below to retrieve and invoke a saved test suite.

Users may save a test suite to non-volatile RAM for later use. testSuiteMake creates a
user-defined suite of commands in memory that are not preserved across resets. By
creating a GEV with the desired test commands, a test suite can be created and retrieved
across resets. The GEV must contain more than one test to be performed. For example:

MOTLoad> gevEdit gevTestSuite
(Blank line terminates input.)
<commands or tests>
