OPTIONS

Option are ordered by their long name. Those without a long name are ordered as if their single letter was a long name.
-a, --alltargets
scan all targets, not just currently existing [default: disabled]
--attachpq3
tell kernel to attach sg to LUN 0 that reports PQ=3
-c

--channels=CLIST

--color
use coloured prefixes OLD/NEW/DEL
-d
enable debug [default: 0]
-f, --flush

--forceremove

--forcerescan

-h, --help
print usage message then exit
--hosts=HLIST
scan only host(s) in HLIST
--ids=TLIST

-i, --issue-lip
issue a FibreChannel LIP reset [default: disabled]
-I SECS, --issue-lip-wait=SECS
issue a FibreChannel LIP reset and then wait SECS seconds.
-L NUM
activates scanning for LUNs 0--NUM [default: 0]
-l
activates scanning for LUNs 0--7 [default: 0]
--largelun
tell kernel to support LUNs > 7 even on SCSI2 devs
--luns=NLIST
scan only lun(s) in NLIST
-m, --multipath
update multipath devices [default: disabled]
--nooptscan
don't stop looking for LUNs is 0 is not found
--nosync
do not issue a sync [default: sync if remove]
-r, --remove
enables removing of devices [default: disabled]
--reportlun2
tell kernel to try REPORT_LUN even on SCSI2 devices
-s, --resize

--sparselun
tell kernel to support sparse LUN numbering
--sync
issue a sync [default: sync if remove]
-u, --update
look for existing disks that have been remapped
-V, --version
shows version string then exits. The version string is a numeric datestamp of the form YYYYMMDD.
-w, --wide
scan for target device IDs 0--15 [default: 0--7]
Host numbers may thus be specified either directly on cmd line (deprecated) or with the --hosts=LIST parameter (recommended).

Arguments to options that end in LIST (e.g. TLIST) can have this form:

    A[-B][,C[-D]]...
which is a comma separated list of single values and/or ranges (no spaces allowed).
