370 utility is designed to provide a way for users to access and control the
377 can cause a loss of data and/or system crashes if used improperly.
379 expert users are encouraged to exercise caution when using this command.
380 Novice users should stay away from this utility.
384 utility has a number of primary functions, many of which support an optional
386 A device identifier can take one of three forms:
389 Specify a device name and unit number combination, like "da5" or "cd3".
391 Specify a bus number and target id.
392 The bus number can be determined from
394 .Dq camcontrol devlist .
395 The lun defaults to 0.
397 Specify the bus, target and lun for a device.
401 The device identifier, if it is specified,
403 come immediately after the function name, and before any generic or
404 function-specific arguments.
409 arguments described below will override any device name or unit number
410 specified beforehand.
417 override a specified bus:target or bus:target:lun, however.
421 primary functions support these generic arguments:
424 SCSI command retry count.
425 In order for this to work, error recovery
429 Instruct the kernel to perform generic SCSI error recovery for the given
431 This is needed in order for the retry count
434 Other than retrying commands, the generic error recovery in
435 the code will generally attempt to spin up drives that are not spinning.
436 It may take some other actions, depending upon the sense code returned from
439 Specify the device type to operate on, e.g.\& "da", "cd".
440 .It Fl Q Ar task_attr
442 task attribute for the command, if it is a
445 This may be ordered, simple, head, or aca.
446 In most cases this is not needed.
447 The default is simple, which works with all
450 The task attribute may also be specified numerically.
452 SCSI command timeout in seconds.
453 This overrides the default timeout for
455 .It Fl u Ar unit_number
456 Specify the device unit number, e.g.\& "1", "5".
458 Be verbose, print out sense information for failed SCSI commands.
461 Primary command functions:
462 .Bl -tag -width periphlist
464 List all physical devices (logical units) attached to the CAM subsystem.
465 This also includes a list of peripheral drivers attached to each device.
468 argument, SCSI bus number, adapter name and unit numbers are printed as
470 On the other hand, with the
472 argument, only the bus adapter, and unit information will be printed, and
473 device information will be omitted.
475 List all peripheral drivers attached to a given physical device (logical
478 Send the SCSI test unit ready (0x00) command to the given device.
481 utility will report whether the device is ready or not.
483 Send a SCSI inquiry command (0x12) to a device.
486 will print out the standard inquiry data, device serial number, and
487 transfer rate information.
488 The user can specify that only certain types of
489 inquiry data be printed:
492 Get the standard inquiry data.
494 Print out the serial number.
495 If this flag is the only one specified,
497 will not print out "Serial Number" before the value returned by the drive.
498 This is to aid in script writing.
500 Print out transfer rate information.
503 Send a ATA identify command (0xec) to a device.
505 Send the SCSI REPORT LUNS (0xA0) command to the given device.
508 will print out the list of logical units (LUNs) supported by the target device.
509 There are a couple of options to modify the output:
512 Just print out a count of LUNs, not the actual LUN numbers.
514 Just print out the LUNs, and do not print out the count.
515 .It Fl r Ar reporttype
516 Specify the type of report to request from the target:
517 .Bl -tag -width 012345678
519 Return the default report.
523 Most targets will support this report if they support the REPORT LUNS
526 Return only well known LUNs.
528 Return all available LUNs.
533 will try to print out LUN numbers in a reasonable format.
534 It can understand the peripheral, flat, LUN and extended LUN formats.
536 Send the SCSI READ CAPACITY command to the given device and display
538 If the device is larger than 2TB, the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service
539 action will be sent to obtain the full size of the device.
542 will print out the last logical block of the device, and the blocksize of
544 To modify the output format, use the following options:
547 Just print out the blocksize, not the last block or device size.
548 This cannot be used with
553 Print out the device size in human readable (base 2, 1K == 1024) format.
556 and cannot be used with
561 Print out the device size in human readable (base 10, 1K == 1000) format.
563 Skip sending the SCSI READ CAPACITY (10) command.
564 Send only the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service action and report
566 When the two do not match, a quirk is needed to resolve the ambiguity.
568 Print out the number of blocks in the device instead of the last logical
571 Quiet, print out the numbers only (separated by a comma if
577 Print out the last logical block or the size of the device only, and omit
581 Note that this command only displays the information, it does not update
582 the kernel data structures.
585 reprobe subcommand to do that.
587 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
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
594 start bit set and the load/eject bit set.
596 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
597 start bit cleared and the load/eject bit set.
599 Tell the kernel to scan all buses in the system (with the
601 argument), the given bus (XPT_SCAN_BUS), bus:target:lun or device
602 (XPT_SCAN_LUN) for new devices or devices that have gone away.
604 may specify a scan of all buses, a single bus, or a lun.
606 on a target is not supported.
608 If a device is specified by peripheral name and unit number, for instance
609 da4, it may only be rescanned if that device currently exists in the CAM EDT
610 (Existing Device Table).
611 If the device is no longer there (see
614 you must use the bus:target:lun form to rescan it.
616 Tell the kernel to refresh the information about the device and
617 notify the upper layer,
619 This includes sending the SCSI READ CAPACITY command and updating
620 the disk size visible to the rest of the system.
622 Tell the kernel to reset all buses in the system (with the
624 argument), the given bus (XPT_RESET_BUS) by issuing a SCSI bus
625 reset for that bus, or to reset the given bus:target:lun or device
626 (XPT_RESET_DEV), typically by issuing a BUS DEVICE RESET message after
627 connecting to that device.
628 Note that this can have a destructive impact
633 READ DEFECT DATA (10) command (0x37) or the
635 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command (0xB7) to the given device, and
636 print out any combination of: the total number of defects, the primary
637 defect list (PLIST), and the grown defect list (GLIST).
640 Specify the requested format of the defect list.
641 The format argument is
643 Most drives support the physical sector format.
645 support the logical block format.
646 Many drives, if they do not support the
647 requested format, return the data in an alternate format, along with sense
648 information indicating that the requested data format is not supported.
652 attempts to detect this, and print out whatever format the drive returns.
653 If the drive uses a non-standard sense code to report that it does not
654 support the requested format,
656 will probably see the error as a failure to complete the request.
658 The format options are:
661 Print out the list as logical blocks.
662 This is limited to 32-bit block sizes, and isn't supported by many modern
665 Print out the list as logical blocks.
666 This option uses a 64-bit block size.
668 Print out the list in bytes from index format.
670 Print out the list in extended bytes from index format.
671 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
673 Print out the list in physical sector format.
674 Most drives support this format.
676 Print out the list in extended physical sector format.
677 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
680 Print out the grown defect list.
681 This is a list of bad blocks that have
682 been remapped since the disk left the factory.
684 Print out the primary defect list.
685 This is the list of defects that were present in the factory.
687 When printing status information with
689 only print the number of defects.
691 Just print the number of defects, not the list of defects.
693 Specify the starting offset into the defect list.
694 This implies using the
696 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command, as the 10 byte version of the command
697 doesn't support the address descriptor index field.
698 Not all drives support the 12 byte command, and some drives that support
699 the 12 byte command don't support the address descriptor index field.
701 Print out defects in hexadecimal (base 16) form instead of base 10 form.
710 will print out the number of defects given in the READ DEFECT DATA header
711 returned from the drive.
712 Some drives will report 0 defects if neither the primary or grown defect
715 Allows the user to display and optionally edit a SCSI mode page.
717 page formats are located in
718 .Pa /usr/share/misc/scsi_modes .
719 This can be overridden by specifying a different file in the
721 environment variable.
724 command takes several arguments:
727 Disable block descriptors for mode sense.
729 Displays mode page data in binary format.
731 This flag allows the user to edit values in the mode page.
733 either edit mode page values with the text editor pointed to by his
735 environment variable, or supply mode page values via standard input, using
738 uses to display mode page values.
739 The editor will be invoked if
741 detects that standard input is terminal.
743 Lists all available mode pages.
744 If specified more then once, also lists subpages.
745 .It Fl m Ar page[,subpage]
746 This specifies the number of the mode page and optionally subpage the user
747 would like to view and/or edit.
748 This argument is mandatory unless
752 This allows the user to specify the page control field.
754 .Bl -tag -width xxx -compact
766 Allows the user to send an arbitrary ATA or SCSI CDB to any device.
769 function requires the
771 argument to specify SCSI CDB or the
773 argument to specify ATA Command Block registers values.
774 Other arguments are optional, depending on
776 The command and data specification syntax is documented
779 NOTE: If the CDB specified causes data to be transferred to or from the
780 SCSI device in question, you MUST specify either
785 .It Fl a Ar cmd Op args
786 This specifies the content of 12 ATA Command Block registers (command,
787 features, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp.
788 lba_high_exp, features_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp).
789 .It Fl c Ar cmd Op args
790 This specifies the SCSI CDB.
791 SCSI CDBs may be 6, 10, 12 or 16 bytes.
793 Specifies DMA protocol to be used for ATA command.

796 .It Fl i Ar len Ar fmt
797 This specifies the amount of data to read, and how it should be displayed.
801 bytes of data will be read from the device and written to standard output.
802 .It Fl o Ar len Ar fmt Op args
803 This specifies the amount of data to be written to a device, and the data
804 that is to be written.
808 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written to the device.
810 This specifies that 11 result ATA Command Block registers should be displayed
811 (status, error, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp,
812 lba_high_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp), and how.
815 11 result registers will be written to standard output in hex.
818 Allows the user to send an arbitrary Serial
819 Management Protocol (SMP) command to a device.
822 function requires the
824 argument to specify the SMP request to be sent, and the
826 argument to specify the format of the SMP response.
827 The syntax for the SMP request and response arguments is documented in
830 Note that SAS adapters that support SMP passthrough (at least the currently
831 known adapters) do not accept CRC bytes from the user in the request and do
832 not pass CRC bytes back to the user in the response.
833 Therefore users should not include the CRC bytes in the length of the
834 request and not expect CRC bytes to be returned in the response.
836 .It Fl r Ar len Ar fmt Op args
837 This specifies the size of the SMP request, without the CRC bytes, and the
842 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written as the SMP
844 .It Fl R Ar len Ar fmt Op args
845 This specifies the size of the buffer allocated for the SMP response, and
846 the SMP response format.
850 bytes of data will be allocated for the response and the response will be
851 written to standard output.
854 Allows the user to send the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) Report General
857 will display the data returned by the Report General command.
858 If the SMP target supports the long response format, the additional data
859 will be requested and displayed automatically.
862 Request the long response format only.
863 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
866 to skip sending the initial report general request without the long bit set
867 and only issue a report general request with the long bit set.
870 Allows the user to issue the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) PHY Control
872 This function should be used with some caution, as it can render devices
873 inaccessible, and could potentially cause data corruption as well.
876 argument is required to specify the PHY to operate on.
879 Specify the PHY to operate on.
880 This argument is required.
882 Request the long request/response format.
883 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
884 For the PHY Control command, this currently only affects whether the
885 request length is set to a value other than 0.
886 .It Fl o Ar operation
887 Specify a PHY control operation.
890 operation may be specified.
891 The operation may be specified numerically (in decimal, hexadecimal, or octal)
892 or one of the following operation names may be specified:

898 Send the LINK RESET command to the phy.
900 Send the HARD RESET command to the phy.
902 Send the DISABLE command to the phy.
903 Note that the LINK RESET or HARD RESET commands should re-enable the phy.
905 Send the CLEAR ERROR LOG command.
906 This clears the error log counters for the specified phy.
908 Send the CLEAR AFFILIATION command.
909 This clears the affiliation from the STP initiator port with the same SAS
910 address as the SMP initiator that requests the clear operation.
912 Send the TRANSMIT SATA PORT SELECTION SIGNAL command to the phy.
913 This will cause a SATA port selector to use the given phy as its active phy
914 and make the other phy inactive.
916 Send the CLEAR STP I_T NEXUS LOSS command to the PHY.
918 Send the SET ATTACHED DEVICE NAME command to the PHY.

990 Turn on CAM debugging printfs in the kernel.
991 This requires options CAMDEBUG
992 in your kernel config file.
993 WARNING: enabling debugging printfs currently
994 causes an EXTREME number of kernel printfs.
995 You may have difficulty
996 turning off the debugging printfs once they start, since the kernel will be
997 busy printing messages and unable to service other requests quickly.
1000 function takes a number of arguments:
1003 Enable CAM_DEBUG_INFO printfs.
1005 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PERIPH printfs.
1007 Enable CAM_DEBUG_TRACE printfs.
1009 Enable CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE printfs.
1011 Enable CAM_DEBUG_XPT printfs.
1013 Enable CAM_DEBUG_CDB printfs.
1014 This will cause the kernel to print out the
1015 SCSI CDBs sent to the specified device(s).
1017 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PROBE printfs.
1019 Enable debugging for all devices.
1021 Turn off debugging for all devices
1022 .It bus Ns Op :target Ns Op :lun
1023 Turn on debugging for the given bus, target or lun.
1024 If the lun or target
1025 and lun are not specified, they are wildcarded.
1026 (i.e., just specifying a
1027 bus turns on debugging printfs for all devices on that bus.)
1030 Show or set the number of "tagged openings" or simultaneous transactions
1031 we attempt to queue to a particular device.
1034 command, with no command-specific arguments (i.e., only generic arguments)
1035 prints out the "soft" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to
1036 the device in question.
1037 For more detailed information, use the
1039 argument described below.
1042 Set the number of tags for the given device.
1043 This must be between the
1044 minimum and maximum number set in the kernel quirk table.
1046 most devices that support tagged queueing is a minimum of 2 and a maximum
1048 The minimum and maximum values for a given device may be
1049 determined by using the
1056 subcommand is described below.
1058 Be quiet, and do not report the number of tags.
1059 This is generally used when
1060 setting the number of tags.
1062 The verbose flag has special functionality for the
1067 to print out the tagged queueing related fields of the XPT_GDEV_TYPE CCB:
1070 This is the amount of capacity for transactions queued to a given device.
1072 This is the number of transactions currently queued to a device.
1074 This is the kernel queue space for transactions.
1075 This count usually mirrors
1076 dev_openings except during error recovery operations when
1077 the device queue is frozen (device is not allowed to receive
1078 commands), the number of dev_openings is reduced, or transaction
1079 replay is occurring.
1081 This is the number of transactions waiting in the kernel queue for capacity
1083 This number is usually zero unless error recovery is in
1086 The held count is the number of CCBs held by peripheral drivers that have
1087 either just been completed or are about to be released to the transport
1088 layer for service by a device.
1089 Held CCBs reserve capacity on a given
1092 This is the current "hard" minimum number of transactions that can be
1093 queued to a device at once.
1096 value above cannot go below this number.
1097 The default value for
1099 is 2, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1101 This is the "hard" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to a
1105 value cannot go above this number.
1106 The default value for
1108 is 255, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1112 Show or negotiate various communication parameters.
1113 Some controllers may
1114 not support setting or changing some of these values.
1116 Adaptec 174x controllers do not support changing a device's sync rate or
1121 will not attempt to set the parameter if the controller indicates that it
1122 does not support setting the parameter.
1123 To find out what the controller
1131 command is described below.
1132 Also, some controller drivers do not support
1133 setting negotiation parameters, even if the underlying controller supports
1134 negotiation changes.
1135 Some controllers, such as the Advansys wide
1136 controllers, support enabling and disabling synchronous negotiation for
1137 a device, but do not support setting the synchronous negotiation rate.
1140 Attempt to make the negotiation settings take effect immediately by sending
1141 a Test Unit Ready command to the device.
1143 Show or set current negotiation settings.
1144 This is the default.
1145 .It Fl D Ar enable|disable
1146 Enable or disable disconnection.
1150 Set the command delay offset.
1152 Be quiet, do not print anything.
1153 This is generally useful when you want to
1154 set a parameter, but do not want any status information.
1155 .It Fl R Ar syncrate
1156 Change the synchronization rate for a device.
1157 The sync rate is a floating
1158 point value specified in MHz.
1161 is a legal value, as is
1163 .It Fl T Ar enable|disable
1164 Enable or disable tagged queueing for a device.
1166 Show or set user negotiation settings.
1167 The default is to show or set
1168 current negotiation settings.
1170 The verbose switch has special meaning for the
1175 to print out the contents of a Path Inquiry (XPT_PATH_INQ) CCB sent to the

1178 Specify the bus width to negotiate with a device.
1181 The only useful values to specify are 8, 16, and 32
1183 The controller must support the bus width in question in order for
1184 the setting to take effect.
1187 In general, sync rate and offset settings will not take effect for a
1188 device until a command has been sent to the device.

1204 disks that do not really need to be low-level formatted.
1206 relatively few scenarios that call for low-level formatting a disk.
1208 low-level formatting a disk is to initialize the disk after changing
1209 its physical sector size.
1210 Another reason for low-level formatting a disk
1211 is to revive the disk if you are getting "medium format corrupted" errors
1212 from the disk in response to read and write requests.
1214 Some disks take longer than others to format.
1215 Users should specify a
1216 timeout long enough to allow the format to complete.
1218 timeout is 3 hours, which should be long enough for most disks.
1220 disks will complete a format operation in a very short period of time
1221 (on the order of 5 minutes or less).
1222 This is often because the drive
1223 does not really support the FORMAT UNIT command -- it just accepts the

2213 This allows managing devices that conform to the
2215 Zoned Block Commands (ZBC) and
2217 Zoned ATA Command Set (ZAC)
2219 Devices using these command sets are usually hard drives using Shingled
2220 Magnetic Recording (SMR).
2221 There are three types of SMR drives:
2224 Drive Managed drives look and act just like a standard random access block
2225 device, but underneath, the drive reads and writes the bulk of its capacity
2227 Sequential writes will yield better performance, but writing sequentially
2230 Host Aware drives expose the underlying zone layout via
2234 commands and allow the host to manage the zone conditions.
2235 The host is not required to manage the zones on the drive, though.
2236 Sequential writes will yield better performance in Sequential Write
2237 Preferred zones, but the host can write randomly in those zones.
2239 Host Managed drives expose the underlying zone layout via
2244 The host is required to access the zones according to the rules described
2246 Any commands that violate the rules will be returned with an error.
2249 SMR drives are divided into zones (typically in the range of 256MB each)
2250 that fall into three general categories:
2253 These are also known as Non Write Pointer zones.
2254 These zones can be randomly written without an unexpected performance penalty.
2255 .It Sequential Preferred
2256 These zones should be written sequentially starting at the write pointer
2258 They may be written randomly.
2259 Writes that do not conform to the zone layout may be significantly slower

2262 These zones must be written sequentially.

2293 For the Open, Close, Finish, and Reset Write Pointer operations, apply the
2294 operation to all zones on the drive.
2296 Specify the starting LBA.
2297 For the Report Zones command, this tells the drive to report starting with
2298 the zone that starts at the given LBA.
2299 For the other commands, this allows the user to identify the zone requested
2300 by its starting LBA.
2301 The LBA may be specified in decimal, hexadecimal or octal notation.
2303 For the Report Zones command, specify a subset of zones to report.
2307 This is the default.
