107 When a RAID 1 or 1+0 volume is created, either through the
109 command or controller's firmware, the volume won't be accessible until
110 the initialization is done.
111 A way to get access to the
113 device that corresponds to that volume without rebooting, is to issue
114 the following command (once the initialization is finished):
116 $ scsictl scsibus0 scan any any

122 appear when handling firmware commands, such as used by the
128 driver is able to send events to

133 event will be sent to the
