scsi-cli tool for storage devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
