330 utility is designed to provide a way for users to access and control the
337 can cause a loss of data and/or system crashes if used improperly.
339 expert users are encouraged to exercise caution when using this command.
340 Novice users should stay away from this utility.
344 utility has a number of primary functions, many of which support an optional
346 A device identifier can take one of three forms:
349 Specify a device name and unit number combination, like "da5" or "cd3".
351 Specify a bus number and target id.
352 The bus number can be determined from
354 .Dq camcontrol devlist .
355 The lun defaults to 0.
357 Specify the bus, target and lun for a device.
361 The device identifier, if it is specified,
363 come immediately after the function name, and before any generic or
364 function-specific arguments.
369 arguments described below will override any device name or unit number
370 specified beforehand.
377 override a specified bus:target or bus:target:lun, however.
381 primary functions support these generic arguments:
384 SCSI command retry count.
385 In order for this to work, error recovery
389 Instruct the kernel to perform generic SCSI error recovery for the given
391 This is needed in order for the retry count
394 Other than retrying commands, the generic error recovery in
395 the code will generally attempt to spin up drives that are not spinning.
396 It may take some other actions, depending upon the sense code returned from

413 List all physical devices (logical units) attached to the CAM subsystem.
414 This also includes a list of peripheral drivers attached to each device.
417 argument, SCSI bus number, adapter name and unit numbers are printed as
419 On the other hand, with the
421 argument, only the bus adapter, and unit information will be printed, and
422 device information will be omitted.
424 List all peripheral drivers attached to a given physical device (logical
427 Send the SCSI test unit ready (0x00) command to the given device.
430 utility will report whether the device is ready or not.
432 Send a SCSI inquiry command (0x12) to a device.
435 will print out the standard inquiry data, device serial number, and
436 transfer rate information.
437 The user can specify that only certain types of
438 inquiry data be printed:
441 Get the standard inquiry data.
443 Print out the serial number.
444 If this flag is the only one specified,
446 will not print out "Serial Number" before the value returned by the drive.
447 This is to aid in script writing.
449 Print out transfer rate information.
452 Send a ATA identify command (0xec) to a device.
454 Send the SCSI REPORT LUNS (0xA0) command to the given device.
457 will print out the list of logical units (LUNs) supported by the target device.
458 There are a couple of options to modify the output:
461 Just print out a count of LUNs, not the actual LUN numbers.
463 Just print out the LUNs, and do not print out the count.
464 .It Fl r Ar reporttype
465 Specify the type of report to request from the target:
466 .Bl -tag -width 012345678
468 Return the default report.
472 Most targets will support this report if they support the REPORT LUNS
475 Return only well known LUNs.
477 Return all available LUNs.
482 will try to print out LUN numbers in a reasonable format.
483 It can understand the peripheral, flat, LUN and extended LUN formats.
485 Send the SCSI READ CAPACITY command to the given device and display
487 If the device is larger than 2TB, the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service
488 action will be sent to obtain the full size of the device.
491 will print out the last logical block of the device, and the blocksize of
493 To modify the output format, use the following options:
496 Just print out the blocksize, not the last block or device size.
497 This cannot be used with
502 Print out the device size in human readable (base 2, 1K == 1024) format.
505 and cannot be used with
510 Print out the device size in human readable (base 10, 1K == 1000) format.
512 Print out the number of blocks in the device instead of the last logical

525 Note that this command only displays the information, it does not update
526 the kernel data structures.
529 reprobe subcommand to do that.
531 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
534 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
537 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
538 start bit set and the load/eject bit set.
540 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
541 start bit cleared and the load/eject bit set.
543 Tell the kernel to scan all busses in the system (with the
545 argument), the given bus (XPT_SCAN_BUS), or bus:target:lun
546 (XPT_SCAN_LUN) for new devices or devices that have gone away.
548 may specify a scan of all busses, a single bus, or a lun.
550 on a target is not supported.
552 Tell the kernel to refresh the information about the device and
553 notify the upper layer,
555 This includes sending the SCSI READ CAPACITY command and updating
556 the disk size visible to the rest of the system.
558 Tell the kernel to reset all busses in the system (with the
560 argument) or the given bus (XPT_RESET_BUS) by issuing a SCSI bus
561 reset for that bus, or to reset the given bus:target:lun
562 (XPT_RESET_DEV), typically by issuing a BUS DEVICE RESET message after
563 connecting to that device.
564 Note that this can have a destructive impact
569 READ DEFECT DATA (10) command (0x37) or the
571 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command (0xB7) to the given device, and
572 print out any combination of: the total number of defects, the primary
573 defect list (PLIST), and the grown defect list (GLIST).
576 Specify the requested format of the defect list.
577 The format argument is
579 Most drives support the physical sector format.
581 support the logical block format.
582 Many drives, if they do not support the
583 requested format, return the data in an alternate format, along with sense
584 information indicating that the requested data format is not supported.
588 attempts to detect this, and print out whatever format the drive returns.
589 If the drive uses a non-standard sense code to report that it does not
590 support the requested format,
592 will probably see the error as a failure to complete the request.
594 The format options are:
597 Print out the list as logical blocks.
598 This is limited to 32-bit block sizes, and isn't supported by many modern
601 Print out the list as logical blocks.
602 This option uses a 64-bit block size.
604 Print out the list in bytes from index format.
606 Print out the list in extended bytes from index format.
607 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
609 Print out the list in physical sector format.
610 Most drives support this format.
612 Print out the list in extended physical sector format.
613 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
616 Print out the grown defect list.
617 This is a list of bad blocks that have
618 been remapped since the disk left the factory.
620 Print out the primary defect list.
621 This is the list of defects that were present in the factory.
623 When printing status information with
625 only print the number of defects.
627 Just print the number of defects, not the list of defects.
629 Specify the starting offset into the defect list.
630 This implies using the
632 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command, as the 10 byte version of the command
633 doesn't support the address descriptor index field.
634 Not all drives support the 12 byte command, and some drives that support
635 the 12 byte command don't support the address descriptor index field.
637 Print out defects in hexadecimal (base 16) form instead of base 10 form.
646 will print out the number of defects given in the READ DEFECT DATA header
647 returned from the drive.
648 Some drives will report 0 defects if neither the primary or grown defect
651 Allows the user to display and optionally edit a SCSI mode page.
653 page formats are located in
654 .Pa /usr/share/misc/scsi_modes .
655 This can be overridden by specifying a different file in the
657 environment variable.
660 command takes several arguments:
663 Disable block descriptors for mode sense.
665 Displays mode page data in binary format.
667 This flag allows the user to edit values in the mode page.
669 either edit mode page values with the text editor pointed to by his
671 environment variable, or supply mode page values via standard input, using
674 uses to display mode page values.
675 The editor will be invoked if
677 detects that standard input is terminal.
679 Lists all available mode pages.
680 .It Fl m Ar mode_page
681 This specifies the number of the mode page the user would like to view
683 This argument is mandatory unless
687 This allows the user to specify the page control field.
689 .Bl -tag -width xxx -compact
701 Allows the user to send an arbitrary ATA or SCSI CDB to any device.
704 function requires the
706 argument to specify SCSI CDB or the
708 argument to specify ATA Command Block registers values.
709 Other arguments are optional, depending on
711 The command and data specification syntax is documented
714 NOTE: If the CDB specified causes data to be transferred to or from the
715 SCSI device in question, you MUST specify either
720 .It Fl a Ar cmd Op args
721 This specifies the content of 12 ATA Command Block registers (command,
722 features, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp.
723 lba_high_exp, features_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp).

731 .It Fl i Ar len Ar fmt
732 This specifies the amount of data to read, and how it should be displayed.
736 bytes of data will be read from the device and written to standard output.
737 .It Fl o Ar len Ar fmt Op args
738 This specifies the amount of data to be written to a device, and the data
739 that is to be written.
743 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written to the device.
745 This specifies that 11 result ATA Command Block registers should be displayed
746 (status, error, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp,
747 lba_high_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp), and how.
750 11 result registers will be written to standard output in hex.
753 Allows the user to send an arbitrary Serial
754 Management Protocol (SMP) command to a device.
757 function requires the
759 argument to specify the SMP request to be sent, and the
761 argument to specify the format of the SMP response.
762 The syntax for the SMP request and response arguments is documented in
765 Note that SAS adapters that support SMP passthrough (at least the currently
766 known adapters) do not accept CRC bytes from the user in the request and do
767 not pass CRC bytes back to the user in the response.
768 Therefore users should not include the CRC bytes in the length of the
769 request and not expect CRC bytes to be returned in the response.
771 .It Fl r Ar len Ar fmt Op args
772 This specifies the size of the SMP request, without the CRC bytes, and the
777 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written as the SMP
779 .It Fl R Ar len Ar fmt Op args
780 This specifies the size of the buffer allocated for the SMP response, and
781 the SMP response format.
785 bytes of data will be allocated for the response and the response will be
786 written to standard output.
789 Allows the user to send the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) Report General
792 will display the data returned by the Report General command.
793 If the SMP target supports the long response format, the additional data
794 will be requested and displayed automatically.
797 Request the long response format only.
798 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
801 to skip sending the initial report general request without the long bit set
802 and only issue a report general request with the long bit set.
805 Allows the user to issue the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) PHY Control
807 This function should be used with some caution, as it can render devices
808 inaccessible, and could potentially cause data corruption as well.
811 argument is required to specify the PHY to operate on.
814 Specify the PHY to operate on.
815 This argument is required.
817 Request the long request/response format.
818 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
819 For the PHY Control command, this currently only affects whether the
820 request length is set to a value other than 0.
821 .It Fl o Ar operation
822 Specify a PHY control operation.
825 operation may be specified.
826 The operation may be specified numerically (in decimal, hexadecimal, or octal)
827 or one of the following operation names may be specified:
831 It is not necessary to specify this argument.
833 Send the LINK RESET command to the phy.
835 Send the HARD RESET command to the phy.
837 Send the DISABLE command to the phy.
838 Note that the LINK RESET or HARD RESET commands should re-enable the phy.
840 Send the CLEAR ERROR LOG command.
841 This clears the error log counters for the specified phy.
843 Send the CLEAR AFFILIATION command.
844 This clears the affiliation from the STP initiator port with the same SAS
845 address as the SMP initiator that requests the clear operation.
847 Send the TRANSMIT SATA PORT SELECTION SIGNAL command to the phy.
848 This will cause a SATA port selector to use the given phy as its active phy
849 and make the other phy inactive.

925 Turn on CAM debugging printfs in the kernel.
926 This requires options CAMDEBUG
927 in your kernel config file.
928 WARNING: enabling debugging printfs currently
929 causes an EXTREME number of kernel printfs.
930 You may have difficulty
931 turning off the debugging printfs once they start, since the kernel will be
932 busy printing messages and unable to service other requests quickly.
935 function takes a number of arguments:
938 Enable CAM_DEBUG_INFO printfs.
940 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PERIPH printfs.
942 Enable CAM_DEBUG_TRACE printfs.
944 Enable CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE printfs.
946 Enable CAM_DEBUG_XPT printfs.
948 Enable CAM_DEBUG_CDB printfs.
949 This will cause the kernel to print out the
950 SCSI CDBs sent to the specified device(s).
952 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PROBE printfs.
954 Enable debugging for all devices.
956 Turn off debugging for all devices
957 .It bus Ns Op :target Ns Op :lun
958 Turn on debugging for the given bus, target or lun.
960 and lun are not specified, they are wildcarded.
961 (i.e., just specifying a
962 bus turns on debugging printfs for all devices on that bus.)
965 Show or set the number of "tagged openings" or simultaneous transactions
966 we attempt to queue to a particular device.
969 command, with no command-specific arguments (i.e., only generic arguments)
970 prints out the "soft" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to
971 the device in question.
972 For more detailed information, use the
974 argument described below.
977 Set the number of tags for the given device.
978 This must be between the
979 minimum and maximum number set in the kernel quirk table.
981 most devices that support tagged queueing is a minimum of 2 and a maximum
983 The minimum and maximum values for a given device may be
984 determined by using the
991 subcommand is described below.
993 Be quiet, and do not report the number of tags.
994 This is generally used when
995 setting the number of tags.
997 The verbose flag has special functionality for the
1002 to print out the tagged queueing related fields of the XPT_GDEV_TYPE CCB:
1005 This is the amount of capacity for transactions queued to a given device.
1007 This is the number of transactions currently queued to a device.
1009 This is the kernel queue space for transactions.
1010 This count usually mirrors
1011 dev_openings except during error recovery operations when
1012 the device queue is frozen (device is not allowed to receive
1013 commands), the number of dev_openings is reduced, or transaction
1014 replay is occurring.
1016 This is the number of transactions waiting in the kernel queue for capacity
1018 This number is usually zero unless error recovery is in
1021 The held count is the number of CCBs held by peripheral drivers that have
1022 either just been completed or are about to be released to the transport
1023 layer for service by a device.
1024 Held CCBs reserve capacity on a given
1027 This is the current "hard" minimum number of transactions that can be
1028 queued to a device at once.
1031 value above cannot go below this number.
1032 The default value for
1034 is 2, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1036 This is the "hard" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to a
1040 value cannot go above this number.
1041 The default value for
1043 is 255, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1047 Show or negotiate various communication parameters.
1048 Some controllers may
1049 not support setting or changing some of these values.
1051 Adaptec 174x controllers do not support changing a device's sync rate or
1056 will not attempt to set the parameter if the controller indicates that it
1057 does not support setting the parameter.
1058 To find out what the controller
1066 command is described below.
1067 Also, some controller drivers do not support
1068 setting negotiation parameters, even if the underlying controller supports
1069 negotiation changes.
1070 Some controllers, such as the Advansys wide
1071 controllers, support enabling and disabling synchronous negotiation for
1072 a device, but do not support setting the synchronous negotiation rate.
1075 Attempt to make the negotiation settings take effect immediately by sending
1076 a Test Unit Ready command to the device.
1078 Show or set current negotiation settings.
1079 This is the default.
1080 .It Fl D Ar enable|disable
1081 Enable or disable disconnection.
1085 Set the command delay offset.
1087 Be quiet, do not print anything.
1088 This is generally useful when you want to
1089 set a parameter, but do not want any status information.
1090 .It Fl R Ar syncrate
1091 Change the synchronization rate for a device.
1092 The sync rate is a floating
1093 point value specified in MHz.
1096 is a legal value, as is
1098 .It Fl T Ar enable|disable
1099 Enable or disable tagged queueing for a device.
1101 Show or set user negotiation settings.
1102 The default is to show or set
1103 current negotiation settings.
1105 The verbose switch has special meaning for the
1110 to print out the contents of a Path Inquiry (XPT_PATH_INQ) CCB sent to the
1112 .It Fl W Ar bus_width
1113 Specify the bus width to negotiate with a device.
1116 The only useful values to specify are 8, 16, and 32
1118 The controller must support the bus width in question in order for
1119 the setting to take effect.
1122 In general, sync rate and offset settings will not take effect for a
1123 device until a command has been sent to the device.
1126 switch above will automatically send a Test Unit Ready to the device so
1127 negotiation parameters will take effect.
1131 FORMAT UNIT command to the named device.
1133 .Em WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
1135 Low level formatting a disk will destroy ALL data on the disk.
1137 extreme caution when issuing this command.
1138 Many users low-level format
1139 disks that do not really need to be low-level formatted.
1141 relatively few scenarios that call for low-level formatting a disk.
1143 low-level formatting a disk is to initialize the disk after changing
1144 its physical sector size.
1145 Another reason for low-level formatting a disk
1146 is to revive the disk if you are getting "medium format corrupted" errors
1147 from the disk in response to read and write requests.
1149 Some disks take longer than others to format.
1150 Users should specify a
1151 timeout long enough to allow the format to complete.
1153 timeout is 3 hours, which should be long enough for most disks.
1155 disks will complete a format operation in a very short period of time
1156 (on the order of 5 minutes or less).
1157 This is often because the drive
1158 does not really support the FORMAT UNIT command -- it just accepts the
1159 command, waits a few minutes and then returns it.
1163 subcommand takes several arguments that modify its default behavior.
1168 arguments can be useful for scripts.
1171 Be quiet, do not print any status messages.
