$Id: ANNOUNCEMENT,v 1.24 2001/07/16 16:03:14 jdd Exp $ Version 4.7 of scsiinfo is now available. New in release 4.7: o support for Sun's PLN fibre-channel SCSI host adapter. o support for Sun's simple SCSI target (sst) driver. o -O support (Solaris 2.x) to check for devices already open. o autodetection of host adapter include files. o Solaris 8 support. For those unfamiliar with scsiinfo: Scsiinfo displays information about SCSI devices attached to a given system, as seen by a supported SCSI device driver. For each target known to the SCSI host adapter, scsiinfo reports SCSI transfer information for the device. In particular, when a target supports synchronous transfer, the negotiated maximum transfer rate (in MB/sec) is reported. Scsiinfo can also report the type and speed of each supported host adapter attached to the system. In addition, it supports querying SCSI disks for geometry and formatting and optionally generates a format.dat entry based on these values. Finally, scsiinfo supports querying SCSI devices for vendor, product, and revision information, in the style of the Sun OpenBoot prom's probe-scsi and probe-scsi-all commands. Only suns with esp, isp, fas, ptisp and glm SCSI controllers (sun4c/4m/4e/4d/4u) running SunOS 4.1 or later are supported. The isp, fas and glm controllers are only supported under SunOS 5.x.
