SCSI CommandsThe Diskus rlogin shell supports these SCSI-related usercommands: mt, tar, scsiid, scsidevs, tara60, and scp. mt and tar,which are standard Unix commands. All these commands (exceptscp) are available when connected to the DDR with the Unixrlogin or rsh commands. The scp command is used directly fromthe Unix shell prompt. These commands should not be confusedwith the CCS, which is also supported at the driver level.mt: used to control magnetic tape drive positioning.tar: tape archive command used to read and write archives.scsiid: used to change the DDR’s SCSI address.scsidevs: displays the SCSI bus configuration.tara60: used to read and write A60 format Exabyte tapes.scp: used to copy files directly between the DDR and a SiliconGraphics workstation.scpc: used to copy file into workstation memory.movie: lets you play back sequences of images transferredfrom Diskus to workstation memory in rapid succession.yuv: used to view YUV image files on the workstation’s harddisk.rgb: used to view raw RGB image files on the workstation’shard disk.scpyuv: used to load a single image file directly, using SCSI,into the workstation’s graphics memory.SCSI File Transfer and Remote ControlThe Diskus SCSI interface has many improvements over the A60SCSI interface. Unlike the A60, which used a proprietary fileformat, Diskus supports the standard Unix tar file format. This isa feature unique to Diskus.Diskus Technical Guide SCSI-29100-0217-02 - SEP 95 Installation 7-75
