The sdparm utility accesses SCSI device parameters. When the SCSI device
|
|
is a disk, sdparm's role is similar to its namesake: the Linux hdparm
|
|
utility which is primarily designed for ATA disks that had device names
|
|
starting with "hd". More generally sdparm can be used to access parameters
|
|
on any device that uses a SCSI command set. Apart from SCSI disks, such
|
|
devices include CD/DVD drives (irrespective of transport), SCSI and ATAPI
|
|
tape drives and SCSI enclosures. A small set of commands associated with
|
|
starting and stopping the media, loading and unloading removable media
|
|
and some other housekeeping functions can also be sent with this utility.
