373 utility is designed to provide a way for users to access and control the
380 can cause a loss of data and/or system crashes if used improperly.
382 expert users are encouraged to exercise caution when using this command.
383 Novice users should stay away from this utility.
387 utility has a number of primary functions, many of which support an optional
389 A device identifier can take one of three forms:
392 Specify a device name and unit number combination, like "da5" or "cd3".
394 Specify a bus number and target id.
395 The bus number can be determined from
397 .Dq camcontrol devlist .
398 The lun defaults to 0.
400 Specify the bus, target and lun for a device.
404 The device identifier, if it is specified,
406 come immediately after the function name, and before any generic or
407 function-specific arguments.
412 arguments described below will override any device name or unit number
413 specified beforehand.
420 override a specified bus:target or bus:target:lun, however.
424 primary functions support these generic arguments:
427 SCSI command retry count.
428 In order for this to work, error recovery
432 Instruct the kernel to perform generic SCSI error recovery for the given
434 This is needed in order for the retry count
437 Other than retrying commands, the generic error recovery in
438 the code will generally attempt to spin up drives that are not spinning.
439 It may take some other actions, depending upon the sense code returned from
442 Specify the device type to operate on, e.g.\& "da", "cd".
443 .It Fl Q Ar task_attr
445 task attribute for the command, if it is a
448 This may be ordered, simple, head, or aca.
449 In most cases this is not needed.
450 The default is simple, which works with all
453 The task attribute may also be specified numerically.
455 SCSI command timeout in seconds.
456 This overrides the default timeout for
458 .It Fl u Ar unit_number
459 Specify the device unit number, e.g.\& "1", "5".
461 Be verbose, print out sense information for failed SCSI commands.
464 Primary command functions:
465 .Bl -tag -width periphlist
467 List all physical devices (logical units) attached to the CAM subsystem.
468 This also includes a list of peripheral drivers attached to each device.
471 argument, SCSI bus number, adapter name and unit numbers are printed as
473 On the other hand, with the
475 argument, only the bus adapter, and unit information will be printed, and
476 device information will be omitted.
478 List all peripheral drivers attached to a given physical device (logical
481 Send the SCSI test unit ready (0x00) command to the given device.
484 utility will report whether the device is ready or not.
486 Send a SCSI inquiry command (0x12) to a device.
489 will print out the standard inquiry data, device serial number, and
490 transfer rate information.
491 The user can specify that only certain types of
492 inquiry data be printed:
495 Get the standard inquiry data.
497 Print out the serial number.
498 If this flag is the only one specified,
500 will not print out "Serial Number" before the value returned by the drive.
501 This is to aid in script writing.
503 Print out transfer rate information.
506 Send a ATA identify command (0xec) to a device.
508 Send the SCSI REPORT LUNS (0xA0) command to the given device.
511 will print out the list of logical units (LUNs) supported by the target device.
512 There are a couple of options to modify the output:
515 Just print out a count of LUNs, not the actual LUN numbers.
517 Just print out the LUNs, and do not print out the count.
518 .It Fl r Ar reporttype
519 Specify the type of report to request from the target:
520 .Bl -tag -width 012345678
522 Return the default report.
526 Most targets will support this report if they support the REPORT LUNS
529 Return only well known LUNs.
531 Return all available LUNs.
536 will try to print out LUN numbers in a reasonable format.
537 It can understand the peripheral, flat, LUN and extended LUN formats.
539 Send the SCSI READ CAPACITY command to the given device and display
541 If the device is larger than 2TB, the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service
542 action will be sent to obtain the full size of the device.
545 will print out the last logical block of the device, and the blocksize of
547 To modify the output format, use the following options:
550 Just print out the blocksize, not the last block or device size.
551 This cannot be used with
556 Print out the device size in human readable (base 2, 1K == 1024) format.
559 and cannot be used with
564 Print out the device size in human readable (base 10, 1K == 1000) format.
566 Skip sending the SCSI READ CAPACITY (10) command.
567 Send only the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service action and report
569 When the two do not match, a quirk is needed to resolve the ambiguity.
571 Print out the number of blocks in the device instead of the last logical
574 Quiet, print out the numbers only (separated by a comma if

590 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
593 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
596 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
597 start bit set and the load/eject bit set.
599 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
600 start bit cleared and the load/eject bit set.
602 Tell the kernel to scan all buses in the system (with the
604 argument), the given bus (XPT_SCAN_BUS), bus:target:lun or device
605 (XPT_SCAN_LUN) for new devices or devices that have gone away.
607 may specify a scan of all buses, a single bus, or a lun.
609 on a target is not supported.
611 If a device is specified by peripheral name and unit number, for instance
612 da4, it may only be rescanned if that device currently exists in the CAM EDT
613 (Existing Device Table).
614 If the device is no longer there (see
617 you must use the bus:target:lun form to rescan it.
619 Tell the kernel to refresh the information about the device and
620 notify the upper layer,
622 This includes sending the SCSI READ CAPACITY command and updating
623 the disk size visible to the rest of the system.
625 Tell the kernel to reset all buses in the system (with the
627 argument), the given bus (XPT_RESET_BUS) by issuing a SCSI bus
628 reset for that bus, or to reset the given bus:target:lun or device
629 (XPT_RESET_DEV), typically by issuing a BUS DEVICE RESET message after
630 connecting to that device.
631 Note that this can have a destructive impact
636 READ DEFECT DATA (10) command (0x37) or the
638 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command (0xB7) to the given device, and
639 print out any combination of: the total number of defects, the primary
640 defect list (PLIST), and the grown defect list (GLIST).
643 Specify the requested format of the defect list.
644 The format argument is
646 Most drives support the physical sector format.
648 support the logical block format.
649 Many drives, if they do not support the
650 requested format, return the data in an alternate format, along with sense
651 information indicating that the requested data format is not supported.
655 attempts to detect this, and print out whatever format the drive returns.
656 If the drive uses a non-standard sense code to report that it does not
657 support the requested format,
659 will probably see the error as a failure to complete the request.
661 The format options are:
664 Print out the list as logical blocks.
665 This is limited to 32-bit block sizes, and isn't supported by many modern
668 Print out the list as logical blocks.
669 This option uses a 64-bit block size.
671 Print out the list in bytes from index format.
673 Print out the list in extended bytes from index format.
674 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
676 Print out the list in physical sector format.
677 Most drives support this format.
679 Print out the list in extended physical sector format.
680 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
683 Print out the grown defect list.
684 This is a list of bad blocks that have
685 been remapped since the disk left the factory.
687 Print out the primary defect list.
688 This is the list of defects that were present in the factory.
690 When printing status information with
692 only print the number of defects.
694 Just print the number of defects, not the list of defects.
696 Specify the starting offset into the defect list.
697 This implies using the
699 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command, as the 10 byte version of the command
700 doesn't support the address descriptor index field.
701 Not all drives support the 12 byte command, and some drives that support
702 the 12 byte command don't support the address descriptor index field.
704 Print out defects in hexadecimal (base 16) form instead of base 10 form.
713 will print out the number of defects given in the READ DEFECT DATA header
714 returned from the drive.
715 Some drives will report 0 defects if neither the primary or grown defect
718 Allows the user to display and optionally edit a SCSI mode page.
720 page formats are located in
721 .Pa /usr/share/misc/scsi_modes .
722 This can be overridden by specifying a different file in the
724 environment variable.
727 command takes several arguments:
730 Use 6 byte MODE commands instead of default 10 byte.
731 Old devices may not support 10 byte MODE commands, while new devices may
732 not be able to report all mode pages with 6 byte commands.
735 starts with 10 byte commands and falls back to 6 byte on error.
737 Disable block descriptors for mode sense.
739 Display/edit block descriptors instead of mode page.
741 Use long LBA block descriptors.
742 Allows number of LBAs bigger then 2^^32.
744 Displays mode page data in binary format.
746 This flag allows the user to edit values in the mode page.
748 either edit mode page values with the text editor pointed to by his
750 environment variable, or supply mode page values via standard input, using
753 uses to display mode page values.
754 The editor will be invoked if
756 detects that standard input is terminal.
758 Lists all available mode pages.
759 If specified more then once, also lists subpages.
760 .It Fl m Ar page[,subpage]
761 This specifies the number of the mode page and optionally subpage the user
762 would like to view and/or edit.
763 This argument is mandatory unless
767 This allows the user to specify the page control field.
769 .Bl -tag -width xxx -compact
781 Allows the user to send an arbitrary ATA or SCSI CDB to any device.
784 function requires the
786 argument to specify SCSI CDB or the
788 argument to specify ATA Command Block registers values.
789 Other arguments are optional, depending on
791 The command and data specification syntax is documented
794 NOTE: If the CDB specified causes data to be transferred to or from the
795 SCSI device in question, you MUST specify either
800 .It Fl a Ar cmd Op args
801 This specifies the content of 12 ATA Command Block registers (command,
802 features, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp.
803 lba_high_exp, features_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp).

826 (status, error, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp,
827 lba_high_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp), and how.
830 11 result registers will be written to standard output in hex.
833 Allows the user to send an arbitrary Serial
834 Management Protocol (SMP) command to a device.
837 function requires the
839 argument to specify the SMP request to be sent, and the
841 argument to specify the format of the SMP response.
842 The syntax for the SMP request and response arguments is documented in
845 Note that SAS adapters that support SMP passthrough (at least the currently
846 known adapters) do not accept CRC bytes from the user in the request and do
847 not pass CRC bytes back to the user in the response.
848 Therefore users should not include the CRC bytes in the length of the
849 request and not expect CRC bytes to be returned in the response.
851 .It Fl r Ar len Ar fmt Op args
852 This specifies the size of the SMP request, without the CRC bytes, and the
857 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written as the SMP
859 .It Fl R Ar len Ar fmt Op args
860 This specifies the size of the buffer allocated for the SMP response, and
861 the SMP response format.
865 bytes of data will be allocated for the response and the response will be
866 written to standard output.
869 Allows the user to send the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) Report General
872 will display the data returned by the Report General command.
873 If the SMP target supports the long response format, the additional data
874 will be requested and displayed automatically.
877 Request the long response format only.
878 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
881 to skip sending the initial report general request without the long bit set
882 and only issue a report general request with the long bit set.
885 Allows the user to issue the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) PHY Control
887 This function should be used with some caution, as it can render devices
888 inaccessible, and could potentially cause data corruption as well.
891 argument is required to specify the PHY to operate on.
894 Specify the PHY to operate on.
895 This argument is required.
897 Request the long request/response format.
898 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
899 For the PHY Control command, this currently only affects whether the
900 request length is set to a value other than 0.
901 .It Fl o Ar operation
902 Specify a PHY control operation.
905 operation may be specified.
906 The operation may be specified numerically (in decimal, hexadecimal, or octal)

913 Send the LINK RESET command to the phy.
915 Send the HARD RESET command to the phy.
917 Send the DISABLE command to the phy.
918 Note that the LINK RESET or HARD RESET commands should re-enable the phy.
920 Send the CLEAR ERROR LOG command.
921 This clears the error log counters for the specified phy.
923 Send the CLEAR AFFILIATION command.
924 This clears the affiliation from the STP initiator port with the same SAS
925 address as the SMP initiator that requests the clear operation.
927 Send the TRANSMIT SATA PORT SELECTION SIGNAL command to the phy.
928 This will cause a SATA port selector to use the given phy as its active phy

1005 Turn on CAM debugging printfs in the kernel.
1006 This requires options CAMDEBUG
1007 in your kernel config file.
1008 WARNING: enabling debugging printfs currently
1009 causes an EXTREME number of kernel printfs.
1010 You may have difficulty
1011 turning off the debugging printfs once they start, since the kernel will be
1012 busy printing messages and unable to service other requests quickly.
1015 function takes a number of arguments:
1018 Enable CAM_DEBUG_INFO printfs.
1020 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PERIPH printfs.
1022 Enable CAM_DEBUG_TRACE printfs.
1024 Enable CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE printfs.
1026 Enable CAM_DEBUG_XPT printfs.
1028 Enable CAM_DEBUG_CDB printfs.
1029 This will cause the kernel to print out the
1030 SCSI CDBs sent to the specified device(s).

1034 Enable debugging for all devices.
1036 Turn off debugging for all devices
1037 .It bus Ns Op :target Ns Op :lun
1038 Turn on debugging for the given bus, target or lun.
1039 If the lun or target
1040 and lun are not specified, they are wildcarded.
1041 (i.e., just specifying a
1042 bus turns on debugging printfs for all devices on that bus.)
1045 Show or set the number of "tagged openings" or simultaneous transactions
1046 we attempt to queue to a particular device.
1049 command, with no command-specific arguments (i.e., only generic arguments)
1050 prints out the "soft" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to
1051 the device in question.
1052 For more detailed information, use the
1054 argument described below.
1057 Set the number of tags for the given device.
1058 This must be between the
1059 minimum and maximum number set in the kernel quirk table.
1061 most devices that support tagged queueing is a minimum of 2 and a maximum
1063 The minimum and maximum values for a given device may be
1064 determined by using the
1071 subcommand is described below.
1073 Be quiet, and do not report the number of tags.
1074 This is generally used when
1075 setting the number of tags.
1077 The verbose flag has special functionality for the
1082 to print out the tagged queueing related fields of the XPT_GDEV_TYPE CCB:
1085 This is the amount of capacity for transactions queued to a given device.
1087 This is the number of transactions currently queued to a device.
1089 This is the kernel queue space for transactions.
1090 This count usually mirrors
1091 dev_openings except during error recovery operations when
1092 the device queue is frozen (device is not allowed to receive
1093 commands), the number of dev_openings is reduced, or transaction
1094 replay is occurring.
1096 This is the number of transactions waiting in the kernel queue for capacity
1098 This number is usually zero unless error recovery is in
1101 The held count is the number of CCBs held by peripheral drivers that have
1102 either just been completed or are about to be released to the transport
1103 layer for service by a device.
1104 Held CCBs reserve capacity on a given
1107 This is the current "hard" minimum number of transactions that can be
1108 queued to a device at once.
1111 value above cannot go below this number.
1112 The default value for
1114 is 2, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1116 This is the "hard" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to a
1120 value cannot go above this number.
1121 The default value for
1123 is 255, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1127 Show or negotiate various communication parameters.
1128 Some controllers may
1129 not support setting or changing some of these values.
1131 Adaptec 174x controllers do not support changing a device's sync rate or
1136 will not attempt to set the parameter if the controller indicates that it
1137 does not support setting the parameter.
1138 To find out what the controller
1146 command is described below.
1147 Also, some controller drivers do not support
1148 setting negotiation parameters, even if the underlying controller supports
1149 negotiation changes.
1150 Some controllers, such as the Advansys wide
1151 controllers, support enabling and disabling synchronous negotiation for
1152 a device, but do not support setting the synchronous negotiation rate.
1155 Attempt to make the negotiation settings take effect immediately by sending
1156 a Test Unit Ready command to the device.
1158 Show or set current negotiation settings.
1159 This is the default.
1160 .It Fl D Ar enable|disable
1161 Enable or disable disconnection.
1165 Set the command delay offset.
1167 Be quiet, do not print anything.
1168 This is generally useful when you want to
1169 set a parameter, but do not want any status information.
1170 .It Fl R Ar syncrate
1171 Change the synchronization rate for a device.
1172 The sync rate is a floating

1221 relatively few scenarios that call for low-level formatting a disk.
1223 low-level formatting a disk is to initialize the disk after changing

1225 Another reason for low-level formatting a disk
1226 is to revive the disk if you are getting "medium format corrupted" errors
1227 from the disk in response to read and write requests.
1229 Some disks take longer than others to format.
1230 Users should specify a
1231 timeout long enough to allow the format to complete.
1233 timeout is 3 hours, which should be long enough for most disks.
1235 disks will complete a format operation in a very short period of time
1236 (on the order of 5 minutes or less).

2226 This allows managing devices that conform to the
2228 Zoned Block Commands (ZBC) and
2230 Zoned ATA Command Set (ZAC)
2232 Devices using these command sets are usually hard drives using Shingled
2233 Magnetic Recording (SMR).
2234 There are three types of SMR drives:
2237 Drive Managed drives look and act just like a standard random access block
2238 device, but underneath, the drive reads and writes the bulk of its capacity
2240 Sequential writes will yield better performance, but writing sequentially
2243 Host Aware drives expose the underlying zone layout via
2247 commands and allow the host to manage the zone conditions.
2248 The host is not required to manage the zones on the drive, though.
2249 Sequential writes will yield better performance in Sequential Write
2250 Preferred zones, but the host can write randomly in those zones.
2252 Host Managed drives expose the underlying zone layout via
2257 The host is required to access the zones according to the rules described
2259 Any commands that violate the rules will be returned with an error.
2262 SMR drives are divided into zones (typically in the range of 256MB each)
2263 that fall into three general categories:
2266 These are also known as Non Write Pointer zones.
2267 These zones can be randomly written without an unexpected performance penalty.
2268 .It Sequential Preferred
2269 These zones should be written sequentially starting at the write pointer
2271 They may be written randomly.
2272 Writes that do not conform to the zone layout may be significantly slower

2275 These zones must be written sequentially.
2276 If they are not written sequentially, starting at the write pointer, the

2306 For the Open, Close, Finish, and Reset Write Pointer operations, apply the
2307 operation to all zones on the drive.
2309 Specify the starting LBA.
2310 For the Report Zones command, this tells the drive to report starting with
2311 the zone that starts at the given LBA.
2312 For the other commands, this allows the user to identify the zone requested
2313 by its starting LBA.
2314 The LBA may be specified in decimal, hexadecimal or octal notation.
2316 For the Report Zones command, specify a subset of zones to report.
2320 This is the default.
2322 Report only empty zones.
2324 Report zones that are implicitly open.
2325 This means that the host has sent a write to the zone without explicitly
