xscsiquiesce  -  stop all SCSI bus activity for a specific
       amount of time


SYNOPSIS

       xscsiquiesce -q bus_quiesce_time [-t quiesce_in_progress_timeout]
            scsi_bus_number_or_path


DESCRIPTION

       xscsiquiesce is used to stop all operations on a SCSI  bus
       for  a  specific amount of time. Ctrl-C kills the quiesce.
       You can extend the quiesce time by pressing the Enter  key
       and  inputting  additional  quiesce time. When the quiesce
       completes, the bus is rescanned for new devices.

       The options are:

       -q bus_quiesce_time
              Quiesce time  in  seconds.   This  required  option
              informs  the  low level linux-xscsi driver how many
              seconds to quiesce the bus for.

       -t quiesce_in_progress_timeout
              How long the low level driver should wait (in  sec­
              onds) to finish all currently outstanding commands.
              If this option is not specified, the default is  10
              seconds.

       -v     Verbose mode.

NOTE

       This  command  is  normally  usable only by the superuser,
       because  the  standard  permissions  of  the  devices   in
       /dev/xscsi restrict access to other users.

       If  drives are removed or drive IDs change during the qui­
       esce, bad things may happen.

       This function is only implemented on *some* controllers.
