Use the mptutil -t<tmtype> <target_id> command to perform task management commands. The <tmtype> variable specifies the command type. Two types of task management commands are currently supported:

•The tgt_reset <target_id> task management command performs a Bus Device Reset on the device specified by the <target_id>. The <target_id> for a device can be determined from the ioscan -kfncommand output. In the following example the target with an ID of “1” was selected from the ioscan -kfnoutput example found in the “Using mptconfig for Online Configuration” section of Chapter 3:

# mptutil -t tgt_reset 1 /dev/mpt14
