Troubleshooting and monitoring

The /proc pseudo file system
The /proc pseudo file system is maintained by the Linux kernel and provides dynamic
information about the system. The directory /proc/scsi contains information about the installed
and attached SCSI devices.
The file /proc/scsi/scsi contains a list of all attached SCSI devices, including disk, tapes,
processors, and so on. Example A-16 shows a sample /proc/scsi/scsi file.
Example: A-16 Sample /proc/scsi/scsi file
knox:~ # cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:

There also is an entry in /proc for each HBA, with driver and firmware levels, error counters,
and information about the attached devices. Example A-17 shows the condensed content of
the entry for a QLogic Fibre Channel HBA.
