scsi_probe(9F)		 Kernel Functions for Drivers		scsi_probe(9F)

NAME
       scsi_probe - utility for probing a scsi device

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>

       int scsi_probe(struct scsi_device *devp, int (*waitfunc);

INTERFACE LEVEL
       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS
       devp	       Pointer to a scsi_device(9S) structure

       waitfunc	       NULL_FUNC or SLEEP_FUNC

DESCRIPTION
       scsi_probe() determines whether a target/lun is present and sets up the
       scsi_device structure with inquiry data.

       scsi_probe() uses the SCSI  Inquiry  command  to	 test  if  the	device
       exists.	 It   can   retry  the	Inquiry	 command  as  appropriate.  If
       scsi_probe() is successful, it will allocate space for the scsi_inquiry
       structure   and	assign	the  address  to  the  sd_inq  member  of  the
       scsi_device(9S)	structure.  scsi_probe()  will	then  fill   in	  this
       scsi_inquiry(9S) structure and return SCSIPROBE_EXISTS. If scsi_probe()
       is unsuccessful, it returns SCSIPROBE_NOMEM in spite of callback set to
       SLEEP_FUNC.

       scsi_unprobe(9F) is used to undo the effect of scsi_probe().

       If the target is a non-CCS device, SCSIPROBE_NONCCS will be returned.

       waitfunc indicates what the allocator routines should do when resources
       are not available; the valid values are:

       NULL_FUNC       Do not wait for resources.  Return  SCSIPROBE_NOMEM  or
		       SCSIPROBE_FAILURE

       SLEEP_FUNC      Wait indefinitely for resources.

RETURN VALUES
       scsi_probe() returns:

       SCSIPROBE_BUSY	       Device exists but is currently busy.

       SCSIPROBE_EXISTS	       Device exists and inquiry data is valid.

       SCSIPROBE_FAILURE       Polled command failure.

       SCSIPROBE_NOMEM	       No space available for structures.

       SCSIPROBE_NOMEM_CB      No  space available for structures but callback
			       request has been queued.

       SCSIPROBE_NONCCS	       Device exists but inquiry data is not valid.

       SCSIPROBE_NORESP	       Device does not respond to an INQUIRY.

CONTEXT
       scsi_probe() is normally called from the target driver's	 probe(9E)  or
       attach(9E) routine. In any case, this routine should not be called from
       interrupt context, because it can sleep waiting for memory to be	 allo‐
       cated.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1:  Using scsi_probe()

	   switch (scsi_probe(devp, NULL_FUNC)) {
	   default:
	   case SCSIPROBE_NORESP:
	   case SCSIPROBE_NONCCS:
	   case SCSIPROBE_NOMEM:
	   case SCSIPROBE_FAILURE:
	   case SCSIPROBE_BUSY:
		   break;
	   case SCSIPROBE_EXISTS:
		   switch (devp->sd_inq->inq_dtype) {
		   case DTYPE_DIRECT:
			   rval = DDI_PROBE_SUCCESS;
			   break;
		   case DTYPE_RODIRECT:
			   rval = DDI_PROBE_SUCCESS;
			   break;
		   case DTYPE_NOTPRESENT:
		   default:
			   break;
		   }
	   }
	   scsi_unprobe(devp);

NOTES
       A waitfunc function other than NULL_FUNC or SLEEP_FUNC is not supported
       and may have unexpected results.
