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

400 .It Fl Q Ar task_attr
402 task attribute for the command, if it is a
405 This may be ordered, simple, head, or aca.
406 In most cases this is not needed.
407 The default is simple, which works with all
410 The task attribute may also be specified numerically.

413 This overrides the default timeout for
415 .It Fl u Ar unit_number
416 Specify the device unit number, e.g.\& "1", "5".
418 Be verbose, print out sense information for failed SCSI commands.
421 Primary command functions:
422 .Bl -tag -width periphlist
424 List all physical devices (logical units) attached to the CAM subsystem.
425 This also includes a list of peripheral drivers attached to each device.
428 argument, SCSI bus number, adapter name and unit numbers are printed as
430 On the other hand, with the
432 argument, only the bus adapter, and unit information will be printed, and
433 device information will be omitted.
435 List all peripheral drivers attached to a given physical device (logical
438 Send the SCSI test unit ready (0x00) command to the given device.
441 utility will report whether the device is ready or not.
443 Send a SCSI inquiry command (0x12) to a device.
446 will print out the standard inquiry data, device serial number, and
447 transfer rate information.
448 The user can specify that only certain types of
449 inquiry data be printed:
452 Get the standard inquiry data.
454 Print out the serial number.
455 If this flag is the only one specified,
457 will not print out "Serial Number" before the value returned by the drive.
458 This is to aid in script writing.
460 Print out transfer rate information.
463 Send a ATA identify command (0xec) to a device.
465 Send the SCSI REPORT LUNS (0xA0) command to the given device.
468 will print out the list of logical units (LUNs) supported by the target device.
469 There are a couple of options to modify the output:
472 Just print out a count of LUNs, not the actual LUN numbers.
474 Just print out the LUNs, and do not print out the count.
475 .It Fl r Ar reporttype
476 Specify the type of report to request from the target:
477 .Bl -tag -width 012345678
479 Return the default report.
483 Most targets will support this report if they support the REPORT LUNS
486 Return only well known LUNs.
488 Return all available LUNs.
493 will try to print out LUN numbers in a reasonable format.
494 It can understand the peripheral, flat, LUN and extended LUN formats.
496 Send the SCSI READ CAPACITY command to the given device and display
498 If the device is larger than 2TB, the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service
499 action will be sent to obtain the full size of the device.
502 will print out the last logical block of the device, and the blocksize of
504 To modify the output format, use the following options:
507 Just print out the blocksize, not the last block or device size.
508 This cannot be used with
513 Print out the device size in human readable (base 2, 1K == 1024) format.
516 and cannot be used with
521 Print out the device size in human readable (base 10, 1K == 1000) format.
523 Print out the number of blocks in the device instead of the last logical

542 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
545 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
548 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
549 start bit set and the load/eject bit set.
551 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
552 start bit cleared and the load/eject bit set.
554 Tell the kernel to scan all busses in the system (with the
556 argument), the given bus (XPT_SCAN_BUS), bus:target:lun or device
557 (XPT_SCAN_LUN) for new devices or devices that have gone away.
559 may specify a scan of all busses, a single bus, or a lun.
561 on a target is not supported.
563 If a device is specified by peripheral name and unit number, for instance
564 da4, it may only be rescanned if that device currently exists in the CAM EDT
565 (Existing Device Table).
566 If the device is no longer there (see
569 you must use the bus:target:lun form to rescan it.
571 Tell the kernel to refresh the information about the device and
572 notify the upper layer,
574 This includes sending the SCSI READ CAPACITY command and updating
575 the disk size visible to the rest of the system.
577 Tell the kernel to reset all busses in the system (with the
579 argument), the given bus (XPT_RESET_BUS) by issuing a SCSI bus
580 reset for that bus, or to reset the given bus:target:lun or device
581 (XPT_RESET_DEV), typically by issuing a BUS DEVICE RESET message after
582 connecting to that device.
583 Note that this can have a destructive impact
588 READ DEFECT DATA (10) command (0x37) or the
590 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command (0xB7) to the given device, and
591 print out any combination of: the total number of defects, the primary
592 defect list (PLIST), and the grown defect list (GLIST).
595 Specify the requested format of the defect list.
596 The format argument is
598 Most drives support the physical sector format.
600 support the logical block format.
601 Many drives, if they do not support the
602 requested format, return the data in an alternate format, along with sense
603 information indicating that the requested data format is not supported.
607 attempts to detect this, and print out whatever format the drive returns.
608 If the drive uses a non-standard sense code to report that it does not
609 support the requested format,
611 will probably see the error as a failure to complete the request.
613 The format options are:
616 Print out the list as logical blocks.
617 This is limited to 32-bit block sizes, and isn't supported by many modern
620 Print out the list as logical blocks.
621 This option uses a 64-bit block size.
623 Print out the list in bytes from index format.
625 Print out the list in extended bytes from index format.
626 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
628 Print out the list in physical sector format.
629 Most drives support this format.
631 Print out the list in extended physical sector format.
632 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
636 Print out the grown defect list.
637 This is a list of bad blocks that have
638 been remapped since the disk left the factory.
640 Print out the primary defect list.
641 This is the list of defects that were present in the factory.
643 When printing status information with
645 only print the number of defects.
647 Just print the number of defects, not the list of defects.
649 Specify the starting offset into the defect list.
650 This implies using the
652 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command, as the 10 byte version of the command
653 doesn't support the address descriptor index field.
654 Not all drives support the 12 byte command, and some drives that support
655 the 12 byte command don't support the address descriptor index field.
657 Print out defects in hexadecimal (base 16) form instead of base 10 form.
666 will print out the number of defects given in the READ DEFECT DATA header
667 returned from the drive.
668 Some drives will report 0 defects if neither the primary or grown defect
671 Allows the user to display and optionally edit a SCSI mode page.
673 page formats are located in
674 .Pa /usr/share/misc/scsi_modes .
675 This can be overridden by specifying a different file in the
677 environment variable.
680 command takes several arguments:
683 Disable block descriptors for mode sense.
685 Displays mode page data in binary format.
687 This flag allows the user to edit values in the mode page.
689 either edit mode page values with the text editor pointed to by his
691 environment variable, or supply mode page values via standard input, using
694 uses to display mode page values.
695 The editor will be invoked if
697 detects that standard input is terminal.
699 Lists all available mode pages.
700 If specified more then once, also lists subpages.
701 .It Fl m Ar page[,subpage]
702 This specifies the number of the mode page and optionally subpage the user
703 would like to view and/or edit.
704 This argument is mandatory unless
708 This allows the user to specify the page control field.
710 .Bl -tag -width xxx -compact
722 Allows the user to send an arbitrary ATA or SCSI CDB to any device.
725 function requires the
727 argument to specify SCSI CDB or the
729 argument to specify ATA Command Block registers values.
730 Other arguments are optional, depending on
732 The command and data specification syntax is documented
735 NOTE: If the CDB specified causes data to be transferred to or from the
736 SCSI device in question, you MUST specify either
741 .It Fl a Ar cmd Op args
742 This specifies the content of 12 ATA Command Block registers (command,
743 features, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp.
744 lba_high_exp, features_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp).
745 .It Fl c Ar cmd Op args
746 This specifies the SCSI CDB.
747 SCSI CDBs may be 6, 10, 12 or 16 bytes.

752 .It Fl i Ar len Ar fmt
753 This specifies the amount of data to read, and how it should be displayed.
757 bytes of data will be read from the device and written to standard output.
758 .It Fl o Ar len Ar fmt Op args
759 This specifies the amount of data to be written to a device, and the data
760 that is to be written.
764 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written to the device.
766 This specifies that 11 result ATA Command Block registers should be displayed
767 (status, error, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp,
768 lba_high_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp), and how.
771 11 result registers will be written to standard output in hex.
774 Allows the user to send an arbitrary Serial
775 Management Protocol (SMP) command to a device.
778 function requires the
780 argument to specify the SMP request to be sent, and the
782 argument to specify the format of the SMP response.
783 The syntax for the SMP request and response arguments is documented in
786 Note that SAS adapters that support SMP passthrough (at least the currently
787 known adapters) do not accept CRC bytes from the user in the request and do
788 not pass CRC bytes back to the user in the response.
789 Therefore users should not include the CRC bytes in the length of the
790 request and not expect CRC bytes to be returned in the response.
792 .It Fl r Ar len Ar fmt Op args
793 This specifies the size of the SMP request, without the CRC bytes, and the
798 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written as the SMP
800 .It Fl R Ar len Ar fmt Op args
801 This specifies the size of the buffer allocated for the SMP response, and
802 the SMP response format.
806 bytes of data will be allocated for the response and the response will be
807 written to standard output.
810 Allows the user to send the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) Report General
813 will display the data returned by the Report General command.
814 If the SMP target supports the long response format, the additional data
815 will be requested and displayed automatically.
818 Request the long response format only.
819 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
822 to skip sending the initial report general request without the long bit set
823 and only issue a report general request with the long bit set.
826 Allows the user to issue the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) PHY Control
828 This function should be used with some caution, as it can render devices
829 inaccessible, and could potentially cause data corruption as well.
832 argument is required to specify the PHY to operate on.
835 Specify the PHY to operate on.
836 This argument is required.
838 Request the long request/response format.
839 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
840 For the PHY Control command, this currently only affects whether the
841 request length is set to a value other than 0.
842 .It Fl o Ar operation
843 Specify a PHY control operation.
846 operation may be specified.
847 The operation may be specified numerically (in decimal, hexadecimal, or octal)
848 or one of the following operation names may be specified:

946 Turn on CAM debugging printfs in the kernel.
947 This requires options CAMDEBUG
948 in your kernel config file.
949 WARNING: enabling debugging printfs currently
950 causes an EXTREME number of kernel printfs.
951 You may have difficulty
952 turning off the debugging printfs once they start, since the kernel will be
953 busy printing messages and unable to service other requests quickly.
956 function takes a number of arguments:
959 Enable CAM_DEBUG_INFO printfs.
961 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PERIPH printfs.
963 Enable CAM_DEBUG_TRACE printfs.
965 Enable CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE printfs.
967 Enable CAM_DEBUG_XPT printfs.
969 Enable CAM_DEBUG_CDB printfs.
970 This will cause the kernel to print out the
971 SCSI CDBs sent to the specified device(s).
973 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PROBE printfs.
975 Enable debugging for all devices.
977 Turn off debugging for all devices
978 .It bus Ns Op :target Ns Op :lun
979 Turn on debugging for the given bus, target or lun.
981 and lun are not specified, they are wildcarded.
982 (i.e., just specifying a
983 bus turns on debugging printfs for all devices on that bus.)
986 Show or set the number of "tagged openings" or simultaneous transactions
987 we attempt to queue to a particular device.
990 command, with no command-specific arguments (i.e., only generic arguments)
991 prints out the "soft" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to
992 the device in question.
993 For more detailed information, use the
995 argument described below.
998 Set the number of tags for the given device.
999 This must be between the
1000 minimum and maximum number set in the kernel quirk table.
1002 most devices that support tagged queueing is a minimum of 2 and a maximum
1004 The minimum and maximum values for a given device may be
1005 determined by using the
1012 subcommand is described below.
1014 Be quiet, and do not report the number of tags.
1015 This is generally used when
1016 setting the number of tags.
1018 The verbose flag has special functionality for the
1023 to print out the tagged queueing related fields of the XPT_GDEV_TYPE CCB:
1026 This is the amount of capacity for transactions queued to a given device.
1028 This is the number of transactions currently queued to a device.
1030 This is the kernel queue space for transactions.
1031 This count usually mirrors
1032 dev_openings except during error recovery operations when
1033 the device queue is frozen (device is not allowed to receive
1034 commands), the number of dev_openings is reduced, or transaction
1035 replay is occurring.
1037 This is the number of transactions waiting in the kernel queue for capacity
1039 This number is usually zero unless error recovery is in
1042 The held count is the number of CCBs held by peripheral drivers that have
1043 either just been completed or are about to be released to the transport
1044 layer for service by a device.
1045 Held CCBs reserve capacity on a given
1048 This is the current "hard" minimum number of transactions that can be
1049 queued to a device at once.
1052 value above cannot go below this number.
1053 The default value for
1055 is 2, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1057 This is the "hard" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to a
1061 value cannot go above this number.
1062 The default value for
1064 is 255, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1068 Show or negotiate various communication parameters.
1069 Some controllers may
1070 not support setting or changing some of these values.
1072 Adaptec 174x controllers do not support changing a device's sync rate or
1077 will not attempt to set the parameter if the controller indicates that it
1078 does not support setting the parameter.
1079 To find out what the controller
1087 command is described below.
1088 Also, some controller drivers do not support
1089 setting negotiation parameters, even if the underlying controller supports
1090 negotiation changes.
1091 Some controllers, such as the Advansys wide
1092 controllers, support enabling and disabling synchronous negotiation for
1093 a device, but do not support setting the synchronous negotiation rate.
1096 Attempt to make the negotiation settings take effect immediately by sending
1097 a Test Unit Ready command to the device.
1099 Show or set current negotiation settings.
1100 This is the default.
1101 .It Fl D Ar enable|disable
1102 Enable or disable disconnection.
1106 Set the command delay offset.
1108 Be quiet, do not print anything.
1109 This is generally useful when you want to
1110 set a parameter, but do not want any status information.
1111 .It Fl R Ar syncrate
1112 Change the synchronization rate for a device.
1113 The sync rate is a floating
1114 point value specified in MHz.
1117 is a legal value, as is
1119 .It Fl T Ar enable|disable
1120 Enable or disable tagged queueing for a device.
1122 Show or set user negotiation settings.
1123 The default is to show or set
1124 current negotiation settings.
1126 The verbose switch has special meaning for the
1131 to print out the contents of a Path Inquiry (XPT_PATH_INQ) CCB sent to the
1133 .It Fl W Ar bus_width
1134 Specify the bus width to negotiate with a device.
1137 The only useful values to specify are 8, 16, and 32
1139 The controller must support the bus width in question in order for
1140 the setting to take effect.
1143 In general, sync rate and offset settings will not take effect for a
1144 device until a command has been sent to the device.
1147 switch above will automatically send a Test Unit Ready to the device so
1148 negotiation parameters will take effect.
