380 utility is designed to provide a way for users to access and control the
387 can cause a loss of data and/or system crashes if used improperly.
389 expert users are encouraged to exercise caution when using this command.
390 Novice users should stay away from this utility.
394 utility has a number of primary functions, many of which support an optional
396 A device identifier can take one of three forms:
399 Specify a device name and unit number combination, like "da5" or "cd3".
401 Specify a bus number and target id.
402 The bus number can be determined from
404 .Dq camcontrol devlist .
405 The lun defaults to 0.
407 Specify the bus, target and lun for a device.
411 The device identifier, if it is specified,
413 come immediately after the function name, and before any generic or
414 function-specific arguments.
419 arguments described below will override any device name or unit number
420 specified beforehand.
427 override a specified bus:target or bus:target:lun, however.
431 primary functions support these generic arguments:
434 SCSI command retry count.
435 In order for this to work, error recovery
439 Instruct the kernel to perform generic SCSI error recovery for the given
441 This is needed in order for the retry count
444 Other than retrying commands, the generic error recovery in
445 the code will generally attempt to spin up drives that are not spinning.
446 It may take some other actions, depending upon the sense code returned from
449 Specify the device type to operate on, e.g.\& "da", "cd".
450 .It Fl Q Ar task_attr
452 task attribute for the command, if it is a
455 This may be ordered, simple, head, or aca.
456 In most cases this is not needed.
457 The default is simple, which works with all
460 The task attribute may also be specified numerically.
462 SCSI command timeout in seconds.
463 This overrides the default timeout for
465 .It Fl u Ar unit_number
466 Specify the device unit number, e.g.\& "1", "5".
468 Be verbose, print out sense information for failed SCSI commands.
471 Primary command functions:
472 .Bl -tag -width periphlist
474 List all physical devices (logical units) attached to the CAM subsystem.
475 This also includes a list of peripheral drivers attached to each device.
478 argument, SCSI bus number, adapter name and unit numbers are printed as
480 On the other hand, with the
482 argument, only the bus adapter, and unit information will be printed, and
483 device information will be omitted.
485 List all peripheral drivers attached to a given physical device (logical
488 Send the SCSI test unit ready (0x00) command to the given device.
491 utility will report whether the device is ready or not.
493 Send a SCSI inquiry command (0x12) to a device.
496 will print out the standard inquiry data, device serial number, and
497 transfer rate information.
498 The user can specify that only certain types of
499 inquiry data be printed:
502 Get the standard inquiry data.
504 Print out the serial number.
505 If this flag is the only one specified,
507 will not print out "Serial Number" before the value returned by the drive.
508 This is to aid in script writing.
510 Print out transfer rate information.
513 Send a ATA identify command (0xec) to a device.
515 Send the SCSI REPORT LUNS (0xA0) command to the given device.
518 will print out the list of logical units (LUNs) supported by the target device.
519 There are a couple of options to modify the output:
522 Just print out a count of LUNs, not the actual LUN numbers.
524 Just print out the LUNs, and do not print out the count.
525 .It Fl r Ar reporttype
526 Specify the type of report to request from the target:
527 .Bl -tag -width 012345678
529 Return the default report.
533 Most targets will support this report if they support the REPORT LUNS
536 Return only well known LUNs.
538 Return all available LUNs.
543 will try to print out LUN numbers in a reasonable format.
544 It can understand the peripheral, flat, LUN and extended LUN formats.
546 Send the SCSI READ CAPACITY command to the given device and display
548 If the device is larger than 2TB, the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service
549 action will be sent to obtain the full size of the device.
552 will print out the last logical block of the device, and the blocksize of
554 To modify the output format, use the following options:
557 Just print out the blocksize, not the last block or device size.
558 This cannot be used with
563 Print out the device size in human readable (base 2, 1K == 1024) format.
566 and cannot be used with
571 Print out the device size in human readable (base 10, 1K == 1000) format.
573 Skip sending the SCSI READ CAPACITY (10) command.
574 Send only the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service action and report
576 When the two do not match, a quirk is needed to resolve the ambiguity.
578 Print out the number of blocks in the device instead of the last logical
581 Quiet, print out the numbers only (separated by a comma if
587 Print out the last logical block or the size of the device only, and omit
591 Note that this command only displays the information, it does not update
592 the kernel data structures.
595 reprobe subcommand to do that.
597 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
600 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
603 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
604 start bit set and the load/eject bit set.
606 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
607 start bit cleared and the load/eject bit set.
609 Tell the kernel to scan all buses in the system (with the
611 argument), the given bus (XPT_SCAN_BUS), bus:target:lun or device
612 (XPT_SCAN_LUN) for new devices or devices that have gone away.
614 may specify a scan of all buses, a single bus, or a lun.
616 on a target is not supported.
618 If a device is specified by peripheral name and unit number, for instance
619 da4, it may only be rescanned if that device currently exists in the CAM EDT
620 (Existing Device Table).
621 If the device is no longer there (see
624 you must use the bus:target:lun form to rescan it.
626 Tell the kernel to refresh the information about the device and
627 notify the upper layer,
629 This includes sending the SCSI READ CAPACITY command and updating
630 the disk size visible to the rest of the system.
632 Tell the kernel to reset all buses in the system (with the
634 argument), the given bus (XPT_RESET_BUS) by issuing a SCSI bus
635 reset for that bus, or to reset the given bus:target:lun or device
636 (XPT_RESET_DEV), typically by issuing a BUS DEVICE RESET message after
637 connecting to that device.
638 Note that this can have a destructive impact
643 READ DEFECT DATA (10) command (0x37) or the
645 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command (0xB7) to the given device, and
646 print out any combination of: the total number of defects, the primary
647 defect list (PLIST), and the grown defect list (GLIST).
650 Specify the requested format of the defect list.
651 The format argument is
653 Most drives support the physical sector format.
655 support the logical block format.
656 Many drives, if they do not support the
657 requested format, return the data in an alternate format, along with sense
658 information indicating that the requested data format is not supported.
662 attempts to detect this, and print out whatever format the drive returns.
663 If the drive uses a non-standard sense code to report that it does not
664 support the requested format,
666 will probably see the error as a failure to complete the request.
668 The format options are:
671 Print out the list as logical blocks.
672 This is limited to 32-bit block sizes, and isn't supported by many modern
675 Print out the list as logical blocks.
676 This option uses a 64-bit block size.
678 Print out the list in bytes from index format.
680 Print out the list in extended bytes from index format.
681 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
683 Print out the list in physical sector format.
684 Most drives support this format.
686 Print out the list in extended physical sector format.
687 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
690 Print out the grown defect list.
691 This is a list of bad blocks that have
692 been remapped since the disk left the factory.
694 Print out the primary defect list.
695 This is the list of defects that were present in the factory.
697 When printing status information with
699 only print the number of defects.
701 Just print the number of defects, not the list of defects.
703 Specify the starting offset into the defect list.
704 This implies using the
706 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command, as the 10 byte version of the command
707 doesn't support the address descriptor index field.
708 Not all drives support the 12 byte command, and some drives that support
709 the 12 byte command don't support the address descriptor index field.
711 Print out defects in hexadecimal (base 16) form instead of base 10 form.
720 will print out the number of defects given in the READ DEFECT DATA header
721 returned from the drive.
722 Some drives will report 0 defects if neither the primary or grown defect
725 Allows the user to display and optionally edit a SCSI mode page.
727 page formats are located in
728 .Pa /usr/share/misc/scsi_modes .
729 This can be overridden by specifying a different file in the
731 environment variable.
734 command takes several arguments:
737 Use 6 byte MODE commands instead of default 10 byte.
738 Old devices may not support 10 byte MODE commands, while new devices may
739 not be able to report all mode pages with 6 byte commands.
742 starts with 10 byte commands and falls back to 6 byte on error.
744 Disable block descriptors for mode sense.
746 Display/edit block descriptors instead of mode page.
748 Use long LBA block descriptors.
749 Allows number of LBAs bigger then 2^^32.
751 Displays mode page data in binary format.
753 This flag allows the user to edit values in the mode page.
755 either edit mode page values with the text editor pointed to by his
757 environment variable, or supply mode page values via standard input, using
760 uses to display mode page values.
761 The editor will be invoked if
763 detects that standard input is terminal.
765 Lists all available mode pages.
766 If specified more then once, also lists subpages.
767 .It Fl m Ar page[,subpage]
768 This specifies the number of the mode page and optionally subpage the user
769 would like to view and/or edit.
770 This argument is mandatory unless
774 This allows the user to specify the page control field.
776 .Bl -tag -width xxx -compact
788 Allows the user to send an arbitrary ATA or SCSI CDB to any device.
791 function requires the
793 argument to specify SCSI CDB or the
795 argument to specify ATA Command Block registers values.
796 Other arguments are optional, depending on
798 The command and data specification syntax is documented
801 NOTE: If the CDB specified causes data to be transferred to or from the
802 SCSI device in question, you MUST specify either
807 .It Fl a Ar cmd Op args
808 This specifies the content of 12 ATA Command Block registers (command,
809 features, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp.
810 lba_high_exp, features_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp).
811 .It Fl c Ar cmd Op args
812 This specifies the SCSI CDB.
813 SCSI CDBs may be 6, 10, 12 or 16 bytes.
815 Specifies DMA protocol to be used for ATA command.
817 Specifies FPDMA (NCQ) protocol to be used for ATA command.
818 .It Fl i Ar len Ar fmt
819 This specifies the amount of data to read, and how it should be displayed.
823 bytes of data will be read from the device and written to standard output.
824 .It Fl o Ar len Ar fmt Op args
825 This specifies the amount of data to be written to a device, and the data
826 that is to be written.
830 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written to the device.
832 This specifies that 11 result ATA Command Block registers should be displayed
833 (status, error, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp,
834 lba_high_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp), and how.
837 11 result registers will be written to standard output in hex.
840 Allows the user to send an arbitrary Serial
841 Management Protocol (SMP) command to a device.
844 function requires the
846 argument to specify the SMP request to be sent, and the
848 argument to specify the format of the SMP response.
849 The syntax for the SMP request and response arguments is documented in
852 Note that SAS adapters that support SMP passthrough (at least the currently
853 known adapters) do not accept CRC bytes from the user in the request and do
854 not pass CRC bytes back to the user in the response.
855 Therefore users should not include the CRC bytes in the length of the
856 request and not expect CRC bytes to be returned in the response.
858 .It Fl r Ar len Ar fmt Op args
859 This specifies the size of the SMP request, without the CRC bytes, and the
864 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written as the SMP
866 .It Fl R Ar len Ar fmt Op args
867 This specifies the size of the buffer allocated for the SMP response, and
868 the SMP response format.
872 bytes of data will be allocated for the response and the response will be
873 written to standard output.
876 Allows the user to send the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) Report General
879 will display the data returned by the Report General command.
880 If the SMP target supports the long response format, the additional data
881 will be requested and displayed automatically.
884 Request the long response format only.
885 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
888 to skip sending the initial report general request without the long bit set
889 and only issue a report general request with the long bit set.
892 Allows the user to issue the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) PHY Control
894 This function should be used with some caution, as it can render devices
895 inaccessible, and could potentially cause data corruption as well.
898 argument is required to specify the PHY to operate on.
901 Specify the PHY to operate on.
902 This argument is required.
904 Request the long request/response format.
905 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
906 For the PHY Control command, this currently only affects whether the
907 request length is set to a value other than 0.
908 .It Fl o Ar operation
909 Specify a PHY control operation.
912 operation may be specified.
913 The operation may be specified numerically (in decimal, hexadecimal, or octal)

918 It is not necessary to specify this argument.
920 Send the LINK RESET command to the phy.
922 Send the HARD RESET command to the phy.
924 Send the DISABLE command to the phy.
925 Note that the LINK RESET or HARD RESET commands should re-enable the phy.
927 Send the CLEAR ERROR LOG command.
928 This clears the error log counters for the specified phy.
930 Send the CLEAR AFFILIATION command.
931 This clears the affiliation from the STP initiator port with the same SAS
932 address as the SMP initiator that requests the clear operation.
934 Send the TRANSMIT SATA PORT SELECTION SIGNAL command to the phy.
935 This will cause a SATA port selector to use the given phy as its active phy
936 and make the other phy inactive.

1012 Turn on CAM debugging printfs in the kernel.
1013 This requires options CAMDEBUG
1014 in your kernel config file.
1015 WARNING: enabling debugging printfs currently
1016 causes an EXTREME number of kernel printfs.
1017 You may have difficulty
1018 turning off the debugging printfs once they start, since the kernel will be
1019 busy printing messages and unable to service other requests quickly.
1022 function takes a number of arguments:
1025 Enable CAM_DEBUG_INFO printfs.
1027 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PERIPH printfs.
1029 Enable CAM_DEBUG_TRACE printfs.
1031 Enable CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE printfs.
1033 Enable CAM_DEBUG_XPT printfs.
1035 Enable CAM_DEBUG_CDB printfs.
1036 This will cause the kernel to print out the
1037 SCSI CDBs sent to the specified device(s).
1039 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PROBE printfs.
1041 Enable debugging for all devices.
1043 Turn off debugging for all devices
1044 .It bus Ns Op :target Ns Op :lun
1045 Turn on debugging for the given bus, target or lun.
1046 If the lun or target
1047 and lun are not specified, they are wildcarded.
1048 (i.e., just specifying a
1049 bus turns on debugging printfs for all devices on that bus.)
1052 Show or set the number of "tagged openings" or simultaneous transactions
1053 we attempt to queue to a particular device.
1056 command, with no command-specific arguments (i.e., only generic arguments)
1057 prints out the "soft" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to
1058 the device in question.
1059 For more detailed information, use the
1061 argument described below.
1064 Set the number of tags for the given device.
1065 This must be between the
1066 minimum and maximum number set in the kernel quirk table.
1068 most devices that support tagged queueing is a minimum of 2 and a maximum
1070 The minimum and maximum values for a given device may be
1071 determined by using the
1078 subcommand is described below.
1080 Be quiet, and do not report the number of tags.
1081 This is generally used when
1082 setting the number of tags.
1084 The verbose flag has special functionality for the
1089 to print out the tagged queueing related fields of the XPT_GDEV_TYPE CCB:
1092 This is the amount of capacity for transactions queued to a given device.
1094 This is the number of transactions currently queued to a device.
1096 This is the number of CCBs allocated for the device.
1098 The held count is the number of CCBs held by peripheral drivers that have
1099 either just been completed or are about to be released to the transport
1100 layer for service by a device.
1101 Held CCBs reserve capacity on a given
1104 This is the current "hard" minimum number of transactions that can be
1105 queued to a device at once.
1108 value above cannot go below this number.
1109 The default value for
1111 is 2, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1113 This is the "hard" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to a
1117 value cannot go above this number.
1118 The default value for
1120 is 255, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1124 Show or negotiate various communication parameters.
1125 Some controllers may
1126 not support setting or changing some of these values.
1128 Adaptec 174x controllers do not support changing a device's sync rate or
1133 will not attempt to set the parameter if the controller indicates that it
1134 does not support setting the parameter.
1135 To find out what the controller
1143 command is described below.
1144 Also, some controller drivers do not support
1145 setting negotiation parameters, even if the underlying controller supports
1146 negotiation changes.
1147 Some controllers, such as the Advansys wide
1148 controllers, support enabling and disabling synchronous negotiation for
1149 a device, but do not support setting the synchronous negotiation rate.
1152 Attempt to make the negotiation settings take effect immediately by sending
1153 a Test Unit Ready command to the device.
1155 Show or set current negotiation settings.
1156 This is the default.
1157 .It Fl D Ar enable|disable
1158 Enable or disable disconnection.
1162 Set the command delay offset.
1164 Be quiet, do not print anything.
1165 This is generally useful when you want to
1166 set a parameter, but do not want any status information.
1167 .It Fl R Ar syncrate
1168 Change the synchronization rate for a device.
1169 The sync rate is a floating
1170 point value specified in MHz.
1173 is a legal value, as is
1175 .It Fl T Ar enable|disable
1176 Enable or disable tagged queueing for a device.
1178 Show or set user negotiation settings.
1179 The default is to show or set
1180 current negotiation settings.
1182 The verbose switch has special meaning for the
1187 to print out the contents of a Path Inquiry (XPT_PATH_INQ) CCB sent to the
1189 .It Fl W Ar bus_width
1190 Specify the bus width to negotiate with a device.
1193 The only useful values to specify are 8, 16, and 32
1195 The controller must support the bus width in question in order for
1196 the setting to take effect.

1216 disks that do not really need to be low-level formatted.
1218 relatively few scenarios that call for low-level formatting a disk.
1220 low-level formatting a disk is to initialize the disk after changing
1221 its physical sector size.
1222 Another reason for low-level formatting a disk
1223 is to revive the disk if you are getting "medium format corrupted" errors
1224 from the disk in response to read and write requests.
1226 Some disks take longer than others to format.
1227 Users should specify a
1228 timeout long enough to allow the format to complete.
1230 timeout is 3 hours, which should be long enough for most disks.
1232 disks will complete a format operation in a very short period of time
1233 (on the order of 5 minutes or less).
1234 This is often because the drive

2222 Zoned Block devices.
2223 This allows managing devices that conform to the
2225 Zoned Block Commands (ZBC) and
2227 Zoned ATA Command Set (ZAC)
2229 Devices using these command sets are usually hard drives using Shingled
2230 Magnetic Recording (SMR).
2231 There are three types of SMR drives:
2234 Drive Managed drives look and act just like a standard random access block
2235 device, but underneath, the drive reads and writes the bulk of its capacity
2237 Sequential writes will yield better performance, but writing sequentially
2240 Host Aware drives expose the underlying zone layout via
2244 commands and allow the host to manage the zone conditions.
2245 The host is not required to manage the zones on the drive, though.
2246 Sequential writes will yield better performance in Sequential Write
2247 Preferred zones, but the host can write randomly in those zones.
2249 Host Managed drives expose the underlying zone layout via
2254 The host is required to access the zones according to the rules described
2256 Any commands that violate the rules will be returned with an error.
2259 SMR drives are divided into zones (typically in the range of 256MB each)
2260 that fall into three general categories:
2263 These are also known as Non Write Pointer zones.
2264 These zones can be randomly written without an unexpected performance penalty.
2265 .It Sequential Preferred
2266 These zones should be written sequentially starting at the write pointer
2268 They may be written randomly.
2269 Writes that do not conform to the zone layout may be significantly slower

2303 operation to all zones on the drive.
2305 Specify the starting LBA.
2306 For the Report Zones command, this tells the drive to report starting with
2307 the zone that starts at the given LBA.
2308 For the other commands, this allows the user to identify the zone requested
2309 by its starting LBA.
2310 The LBA may be specified in decimal, hexadecimal or octal notation.
2312 For the Report Zones command, specify a subset of zones to report.
2316 This is the default.
