275 utility is designed to provide a way for users to access and control the
282 can cause a loss of data and/or system crashes if used improperly.
284 expert users are encouraged to exercise caution when using this command.
285 Novice users should stay away from this utility.
289 utility has a number of primary functions, many of which support an optional
291 A device identifier can take one of three forms:
294 Specify a device name and unit number combination, like "da5" or "cd3".
296 Specify a bus number and target id.
297 The bus number can be determined from
299 .Dq camcontrol devlist .
300 The lun defaults to 0.
302 Specify the bus, target and lun for a device.
306 The device identifier, if it is specified,
308 come immediately after the function name, and before any generic or
309 function-specific arguments.
314 arguments described below will override any device name or unit number
315 specified beforehand.
322 override a specified bus:target or bus:target:lun, however.
326 primary functions support these generic arguments:
329 SCSI command retry count.
330 In order for this to work, error recovery
334 Instruct the kernel to perform generic SCSI error recovery for the given
336 This is needed in order for the retry count
339 Other than retrying commands, the generic error recovery in
340 the code will generally attempt to spin up drives that are not spinning.
341 It may take some other actions, depending upon the sense code returned from

358 List all physical devices (logical units) attached to the CAM subsystem.
359 This also includes a list of peripheral drivers attached to each device.
362 argument, SCSI bus number, adapter name and unit numbers are printed as
365 List all peripheral drivers attached to a given physical device (logical
368 Send the SCSI test unit ready (0x00) command to the given device.
371 utility will report whether the device is ready or not.
373 Send a SCSI inquiry command (0x12) to a device.
376 will print out the standard inquiry data, device serial number, and
377 transfer rate information.
378 The user can specify that only certain types of
379 inquiry data be printed:
382 Get the standard inquiry data.
384 Print out the serial number.
385 If this flag is the only one specified,
387 will not print out "Serial Number" before the value returned by the drive.
388 This is to aid in script writing.
390 Print out transfer rate information.
393 Send a ATA identify command (0xec) to a device.
395 Send the SCSI REPORT LUNS (0xA0) command to the given device.
398 will print out the list of logical units (LUNs) supported by the target device.
399 There are a couple of options to modify the output:
402 Just print out a count of LUNs, not the actual LUN numbers.
404 Just print out the LUNs, and don't print out the count.
405 .It Fl r Ar reporttype
406 Specify the type of report to request from the target:
407 .Bl -tag -width 012345678
409 Return the default report.
413 Most targets will support this report if they support the REPORT LUNS
416 Return only well known LUNs.
418 Return all available LUNs.
423 will try to print out LUN numbers in a reasonable format.
424 It can understand the peripheral, flat, LUN and extended LUN formats.
426 Send the SCSI READ CAPACITY command to the given device and display
428 If the device is larger than 2TB, the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service
429 action will be sent to obtain the full size of the device.
432 will print out the last logical block of the device, and the blocksize of
434 To modify the output format, use the following options:
437 Just print out the blocksize, not the last block or device size.
438 This cannot be used with
443 Print out the device size in human readable (base 2, 1K == 1024) format.
446 and cannot be used with
451 Print out the device size in human readable (base 10, 1K == 1000) format.
453 Print out the number of blocks in the device instead of the last logical
456 Quiet, print out the numbers only (separated by a comma if
462 Print out the last logical block or the size of the device only, and omit
466 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the

472 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
473 start bit set and the load/eject bit set.
475 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
476 start bit cleared and the load/eject bit set.
478 Tell the kernel to scan all busses in the system (with the
480 argument), the given bus (XPT_SCAN_BUS), or bus:target:lun
481 (XPT_SCAN_LUN) for new devices or devices that have gone away.
483 may specify a scan of all busses, a single bus, or a lun.
485 on a target is not supported.
487 Tell the kernel to reset all busses in the system (with the
489 argument) or the given bus (XPT_RESET_BUS) by issuing a SCSI bus
490 reset for that bus, or to reset the given bus:target:lun
491 (XPT_RESET_DEV), typically by issuing a BUS DEVICE RESET message after
492 connecting to that device.
493 Note that this can have a destructive impact
496 Send the SCSI READ DEFECT DATA (10) command (0x37) to the given device, and
497 print out any combination of: the total number of defects, the primary
498 defect list (PLIST), and the grown defect list (GLIST).
501 The three format options are:
503 to print out the list as logical blocks,
505 to print out the list in bytes from index format, and
507 to print out the list in physical sector format.
508 The format argument is
510 Most drives support the physical sector format.
512 support the logical block format.
513 Many drives, if they do not support the
514 requested format, return the data in an alternate format, along with sense
515 information indicating that the requested data format is not supported.
519 attempts to detect this, and print out whatever format the drive returns.
520 If the drive uses a non-standard sense code to report that it does not
521 support the requested format,
523 will probably see the error as a failure to complete the request.
525 Print out the grown defect list.
526 This is a list of bad blocks that have
527 been remapped since the disk left the factory.
529 Print out the primary defect list.
538 will print out the number of defects given in the READ DEFECT DATA header
539 returned from the drive.
540 Some drives will report 0 defects if neither the primary or grown defect
543 Allows the user to display and optionally edit a SCSI mode page.
545 page formats are located in
546 .Pa /usr/share/misc/scsi_modes .
547 This can be overridden by specifying a different file in the
549 environment variable.
552 command takes several arguments:
555 Disable block descriptors for mode sense.
557 Displays mode page data in binary format.
559 This flag allows the user to edit values in the mode page.
561 either edit mode page values with the text editor pointed to by his
563 environment variable, or supply mode page values via standard input, using
566 uses to display mode page values.
567 The editor will be invoked if
569 detects that standard input is terminal.
571 Lists all available mode pages.
572 .It Fl m Ar mode_page
573 This specifies the number of the mode page the user would like to view
575 This argument is mandatory unless
579 This allows the user to specify the page control field.
581 .Bl -tag -width xxx -compact
593 Allows the user to send an arbitrary ATA or SCSI CDB to any device.
596 function requires the
598 argument to specify SCSI CDB or the
600 argument to specify ATA Command Block registers values.
601 Other arguments are optional, depending on
603 The command and data specification syntax is documented
606 NOTE: If the CDB specified causes data to be transferred to or from the
607 SCSI device in question, you MUST specify either
612 .It Fl a Ar cmd Op args
613 This specifies the content of 12 ATA Command Block registers (command,
614 features, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp.

638 (status, error, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp,
639 lba_high_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp), and how.
642 11 result registers will be written to standard output in hex.
645 Allows the user to send an arbitrary Serial
646 Management Protocol (SMP) command to a device.
649 function requires the
651 argument to specify the SMP request to be sent, and the
653 argument to specify the format of the SMP response.
654 The syntax for the SMP request and response arguments is documented in
657 Note that SAS adapters that support SMP passthrough (at least the currently
658 known adapters) do not accept CRC bytes from the user in the request and do
659 not pass CRC bytes back to the user in the response.
660 Therefore users should not include the CRC bytes in the length of the
661 request and not expect CRC bytes to be returned in the response.
663 .It Fl r Ar len Ar fmt Op args
664 This specifies the size of the SMP request, without the CRC bytes, and the
665 SMP request format. If the format is
668 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written as the SMP

819 WARNING: enabling debugging printfs currently
820 causes an EXTREME number of kernel printfs.
821 You may have difficulty
822 turning off the debugging printfs once they start, since the kernel will be
823 busy printing messages and unable to service other requests quickly.
826 function takes a number of arguments:
829 Enable CAM_DEBUG_INFO printfs.
831 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PERIPH printfs.
833 Enable CAM_DEBUG_TRACE printfs.
835 Enable CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE printfs.
837 Enable CAM_DEBUG_XPT printfs.

853 bus turns on debugging printfs for all devices on that bus.)
856 Show or set the number of "tagged openings" or simultaneous transactions
857 we attempt to queue to a particular device.
860 command, with no command-specific arguments (i.e., only generic arguments)
861 prints out the "soft" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to
862 the device in question.
863 For more detailed information, use the
865 argument described below.
868 Set the number of tags for the given device.
869 This must be between the
870 minimum and maximum number set in the kernel quirk table.
872 most devices that support tagged queueing is a minimum of 2 and a maximum
874 The minimum and maximum values for a given device may be
875 determined by using the
882 subcommand is described below.
884 Be quiet, and do not report the number of tags.
885 This is generally used when
886 setting the number of tags.
888 The verbose flag has special functionality for the
893 to print out the tagged queueing related fields of the XPT_GDEV_TYPE CCB:
896 This is the amount of capacity for transactions queued to a given device.
898 This is the number of transactions currently queued to a device.
900 This is the kernel queue space for transactions.
901 This count usually mirrors
902 dev_openings except during error recovery operations when
903 the device queue is frozen (device is not allowed to receive
904 commands), the number of dev_openings is reduced, or transaction
907 This is the number of transactions waiting in the kernel queue for capacity
909 This number is usually zero unless error recovery is in
912 The held count is the number of CCBs held by peripheral drivers that have
913 either just been completed or are about to be released to the transport
914 layer for service by a device.
915 Held CCBs reserve capacity on a given

919 queued to a device at once.
922 value above cannot go below this number.
923 The default value for
925 is 2, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
927 This is the "hard" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to a
931 value cannot go above this number.
932 The default value for
934 is 255, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
938 Show or negotiate various communication parameters.
940 not support setting or changing some of these values.
942 Adaptec 174x controllers do not support changing a device's sync rate or
947 will not attempt to set the parameter if the controller indicates that it
948 does not support setting the parameter.
949 To find out what the controller
957 command is described below.
958 Also, some controller drivers do not support
959 setting negotiation parameters, even if the underlying controller supports
961 Some controllers, such as the Advansys wide
962 controllers, support enabling and disabling synchronous negotiation for
963 a device, but do not support setting the synchronous negotiation rate.
966 Attempt to make the negotiation settings take effect immediately by sending
967 a Test Unit Ready command to the device.
969 Show or set current negotiation settings.
971 .It Fl D Ar enable|disable
972 Enable or disable disconnection.
976 Set the command delay offset.
978 Be quiet, do not print anything.
979 This is generally useful when you want to
980 set a parameter, but do not want any status information.
982 Change the synchronization rate for a device.
983 The sync rate is a floating
984 point value specified in MHz.
987 is a legal value, as is
989 .It Fl T Ar enable|disable
990 Enable or disable tagged queueing for a device.
992 Show or set user negotiation settings.
993 The default is to show or set
994 current negotiation settings.

1001 to print out the contents of a Path Inquiry (XPT_PATH_INQ) CCB sent to the
1003 .It Fl W Ar bus_width
1004 Specify the bus width to negotiate with a device.
1007 The only useful values to specify are 8, 16, and 32
1009 The controller must support the bus width in question in order for
1010 the setting to take effect.
1013 In general, sync rate and offset settings will not take effect for a
1014 device until a command has been sent to the device.
1017 switch above will automatically send a Test Unit Ready to the device so
1018 negotiation parameters will take effect.

1028 extreme caution when issuing this command.
1029 Many users low-level format
1030 disks that do not really need to be low-level formatted.
1032 relatively few scenarios that call for low-level formatting a disk.
1034 low-level formatting a disk is to initialize the disk after changing
1035 its physical sector size.
1036 Another reason for low-level formatting a disk
1037 is to revive the disk if you are getting "medium format corrupted" errors
1038 from the disk in response to read and write requests.
1040 Some disks take longer than others to format.
1041 Users should specify a
1042 timeout long enough to allow the format to complete.
1044 timeout is 3 hours, which should be long enough for most disks.
1046 disks will complete a format operation in a very short period of time
1047 (on the order of 5 minutes or less).
