SYNOPSIS
       This executable is part of the package 'scsirastools': Serviceability
       for SCSI Disks and Arrays

       Documentation for SUSE Linux Enterprise is available online at:
       <http://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/> and also installed on the
       system at /usr/share/doc/manual/

       Additional documentation for a specific package may be available at
       /usr/share/doc/packages/scsirastools/ ""

DESCRIPTION
       Hard disks are the most commonly replaced system elements, and are
       therefore a critical consideration for improving availability. Root
       Disk Mirroring (RAID-1) is the technique of using redundant disks to
       record multiple copies of the data so that one disk failure will not
       cause data loss.

       This project includes changes that enhance the Reliability,
       Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) of the drivers that are commonly
       used in a Linux software RAID-1 configuration. Other efforts have been
       made to enable various common hardware RAID adapters and their drivers
       on Linux.

       The tools in this project were designed to add to the serviceability of
       SCSI devices under Linux so that the system does not have to be
       rebooted or taken out of service to perform common maintenance or
       service functions. This project has user-space and kernel level
       components:

       sgraidmon - a tool to monitor software RAID disks for
       hot-insertion/removal; Note that this uses raidtools like mdadm to re-
       configure the new disk. sgdefects - a tool to read the primary and
       grown defect lists sgdskfl - a tool to load disk firmware to SCSI disks
       under Linux; some sample firmware images are included in the package
       sgmode - a tool to get and set SCSI device mode pages; some sample mode
       page definition files are included in the package sgdiag - a tool to
       perform format and other diagnostic functions

       The scsiras patches are not currently included in our kernel.
