3 Monitoring the Driver

Once the driver is running, you can monitor it through the Linux proc file system support.

There is a special file under /proc/scsi/rr272x_1x /. Through this file you can view driver

status and send control commands to the driver.

Note

The file name is the SCSI host number allocated by OS. If you have no other SCSI cards

installed, it will be 0. In the following sections, we will use x to represent this number.

Using the following command to show driver status:

# cat /proc/scsi/rr272x_1x /x

This command will show the driver version number, physical device list and logical device

list.
