scsi_start - start one or more SCSI disks
scsi_start [--help] [--verbose] [--wait] DEVICE [DEVICE]*
This bash shell script calls the sg_start utility on each given DEVICE. The purpose is to spin up (start) each given DEVICE.
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
print out the usage message then exit.
increase level or verbosity.
wait for the spin up (start) on each given DEVICE to complete. The default action is to do each start in immediate mode.
If a large number of disks are spun up at the same time (i.e. without the --wait option) then the power supply may be overloaded.
The exit status of this script is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise the exit status is that of the last sg_start utility called. See the sg3_utils(8) man page.
