NAME
       blk2scsa - SCSA block device emulation

DESCRIPTION
       The blk2scsa module provides support services for generic block devices
       so that they appear to the system as devices on	a  virtual  SCSI  bus,
       thus  allowing  them to be serviced by the sd(7D) SCSI disk driver. The
       blk2scsa device supports the  SCSI-2  command  set  for	Direct	Access
       Devices. The blk2scsa device supports multiple LUNs per physical device
       and creates a separate child device  for	 each  LUN.  All  child	 nodes
       attach to sd(7D).

DEVICE SPECIAL FILES
       Disk  block  special file names are located in /dev/dsk. Raw file names
       are located in /dev/rdsk.  See sd(7D).

IOCTLS
       See dkio(7I)

ERRORS
       See sd(7D).

FILES
       Device special files for the storage device are created in the same way
       as those for a SCSI disk. See sd(7D) for more information.

       /dev/dsk/cntndnsn

	   Block files for disks.

       /dev/rdsk/ctndnsn

	   Raw files for disks.

       /kernel/misc/blk2scsa

	   32-bit ELF kernel module (x86).

       /kernel/misc/amd64/blk2scsa

	   64-bit ELF kernel module (x86).

       /kernel/misc/sparcv9/blk2scsa

	   64-bit ELF kernel module (SPARC).
