This would be easier. Maybe you can find it on some FTP site ?

Look at the -R option below. However, you need to be a
SCSI expert then :

Usage: scsiinfo [-options] [device]
	Allowed options are:
	-c    Display information from Caching Page.
	-C    Display information from Control Mode Page.
	-d    Display defect lists.
	-e    Display information from Error Recovery page.
	-f    Display information from Format Device Page.
	-g    Display information from Rigid Disk Drive Geometry Page.
	-i    Display all information from Inquiry command.
	-s    Display all information from unit serial number page.
	-D    Display information from Disconnect-Reconnect Page.
	-n    Display information from Notch and Partition Page.
	-p    Display information from Peripheral Device Page.
	-V    Display information from Verify Error Recovery Page.
	-v    Show version number
	-a    All of the above.

	-l    List known scsi devices on the system
	-L    List pages supported notched by program and target
	        (notched and active notch are also returned)

	Only one of the following three options can be specified.
	None of these three implies the current values are returned.
	-m    Display modifiable fields instead of current values
	-M    Display manufacturer defaults instead of current values
	-S    Display saved defaults instead of current values

	-X    Display output suitable for the X-based interface.
	-R    Replace parameters - best used with -X (expert use only)

All options except -l and -v require that exactly one device is given.
-X and -R can be used only with one of the display page options.
-m and -M cannot be used with -R.
You may use -M, -S with -L though it should make no difference
as a special goodie when using -LXR then a /bin/sh script is written
to stdout that will restore the current settings of the target when
executed. You can use one of -M, -S with -LXR to save the corresponding
values.
