Hello Folks,
I have been working on the scsi-cli [1] tool to help find information
for various storage devices from the host in a simple, readable format
with no knowledge of sysfs hooks.
scsi-cli tool is a very lightweight tool which aims to provide details
of storage devices on a system in a very user-friendly way. Any user
trying to figure out devices on the system should be able to issue a
simple, easy to remember sub-command such as "list" to get display of
all the devices present in the system in a summary form. If the user
needs to get more details for a specific device, then "show" sub-command
with the device type and device name input will display more detail
information for the device in question. Additional commands such as
'stats' provide statistical data for the device. More sub-command
support will be added in future release.
In this early release, I am supporting Fibre channel and Block disk
devices. An iSCSI transport provides limited information at the moment,
and more details will be enhanced based on request and feedback.
Additional transports will be added in the future releases.
In this initial release few commands such as list, stats, show are
supported and other command support will be added soon. When this tool
is instantiated, it will display placeholders for the commands that will
be supported in the near future.
I encourage everybody to take a look and provide input/suggestions on
how this tool can be improved.
