Syntax

LIST DEVICES


Using LIST DEVICES

LIST DEVICES forces a scan for devices , displays the return list of storage devices, and registers any new devices with the Media Manager database. This command does not simply read the database.

When you are installing new storage devices, you can load drivers with a no scan parameter, and then run LIST DEVICES so that drivers will find their devices simultaneously.

The command output is returned by the device drivers. The information for each storage device includes the device number and name, as well as additional information that varies by device and by manufacturer.

Following is an example of a device listing:

0x0001:[V023-A0-D0:0] SEAGATE ST31051N rev:0530 
0x0002:[V023-A0-D0:1] NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:500 rev:2.5

The hexadecimal integer at the beginning of the line is the device's Media Manager object ID.

The bracketed numbers comprise the device name that identifies the storage device, as follows:

The driver's version or revision number appears at the end of the line.
