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 -kfn command output. In the following example the target
with an ID of “1” was selected from the ioscan -kfn output example found in the “Using
mptconfig for Online Configuration” section of Chapter 3:
# mptutil -t tgt_reset 1 /dev/mpt14
