## The Device is Currently in Use

The Confidence test has detected that the device is currently in use by another process. Verify that the device is available for testing by executing the `ps (1)` command. If the device is not currently in use by another process, try resetting the device and executing the Confidence test again. If the device is still in use, try shutting down the system by using the `shutdown (1M)` command to clear any stray processes that might have locked the device, and then power on the system again. To reset the system, you must have root privileges.

For additional information, see the `mediad (1M)`,`ps (1)`,`reboot (1M)`,`halt (1M)` , or`shutdown (1M)` man page, or from the desktop online books, select SGI_EndUser Personal System Administration Guide and the SGI_Admin IRIX Advanced Site and Server Administration Guide and then use the “Find” keyword, “SCSI.” For additional questions or assistance, contact your local support provider.
