350 utility is designed to provide a way for users to access and control the
357 can cause a loss of data and/or system crashes if used improperly.
359 expert users are encouraged to exercise caution when using this command.
360 Novice users should stay away from this utility.
364 utility has a number of primary functions, many of which support an optional
366 A device identifier can take one of three forms:
369 Specify a device name and unit number combination, like "da5" or "cd3".
371 Specify a bus number and target id.
372 The bus number can be determined from
374 .Dq camcontrol devlist .
375 The lun defaults to 0.
377 Specify the bus, target and lun for a device.
381 The device identifier, if it is specified,
383 come immediately after the function name, and before any generic or
384 function-specific arguments.
389 arguments described below will override any device name or unit number
390 specified beforehand.
397 override a specified bus:target or bus:target:lun, however.
401 primary functions support these generic arguments:
404 SCSI command retry count.
405 In order for this to work, error recovery
409 Instruct the kernel to perform generic SCSI error recovery for the given
411 This is needed in order for the retry count
414 Other than retrying commands, the generic error recovery in
415 the code will generally attempt to spin up drives that are not spinning.
416 It may take some other actions, depending upon the sense code returned from
419 Specify the device type to operate on, e.g.\& "da", "cd".
421 SCSI command timeout in seconds.
422 This overrides the default timeout for

433 List all physical devices (logical units) attached to the CAM subsystem.
434 This also includes a list of peripheral drivers attached to each device.
437 argument, SCSI bus number, adapter name and unit numbers are printed as
439 On the other hand, with the
441 argument, only the bus adapter, and unit information will be printed, and
442 device information will be omitted.
444 List all peripheral drivers attached to a given physical device (logical
447 Send the SCSI test unit ready (0x00) command to the given device.
450 utility will report whether the device is ready or not.
452 Send a SCSI inquiry command (0x12) to a device.
455 will print out the standard inquiry data, device serial number, and
456 transfer rate information.
457 The user can specify that only certain types of
458 inquiry data be printed:
461 Get the standard inquiry data.
463 Print out the serial number.
464 If this flag is the only one specified,
466 will not print out "Serial Number" before the value returned by the drive.
467 This is to aid in script writing.
469 Print out transfer rate information.
472 Send a ATA identify command (0xec) to a device.
474 Send the SCSI REPORT LUNS (0xA0) command to the given device.
477 will print out the list of logical units (LUNs) supported by the target device.
478 There are a couple of options to modify the output:
481 Just print out a count of LUNs, not the actual LUN numbers.
483 Just print out the LUNs, and do not print out the count.
484 .It Fl r Ar reporttype
485 Specify the type of report to request from the target:
486 .Bl -tag -width 012345678
488 Return the default report.
492 Most targets will support this report if they support the REPORT LUNS
495 Return only well known LUNs.
497 Return all available LUNs.
502 will try to print out LUN numbers in a reasonable format.
503 It can understand the peripheral, flat, LUN and extended LUN formats.
505 Send the SCSI READ CAPACITY command to the given device and display
507 If the device is larger than 2TB, the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service
508 action will be sent to obtain the full size of the device.
511 will print out the last logical block of the device, and the blocksize of
513 To modify the output format, use the following options:
516 Just print out the blocksize, not the last block or device size.
517 This cannot be used with
522 Print out the device size in human readable (base 2, 1K == 1024) format.
525 and cannot be used with
530 Print out the device size in human readable (base 10, 1K == 1000) format.
532 Print out the number of blocks in the device instead of the last logical

545 Note that this command only displays the information, it does not update
546 the kernel data structures.
549 reprobe subcommand to do that.
551 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
554 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
557 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
558 start bit set and the load/eject bit set.
560 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
561 start bit cleared and the load/eject bit set.
563 Tell the kernel to scan all busses in the system (with the
565 argument), the given bus (XPT_SCAN_BUS), or bus:target:lun
566 (XPT_SCAN_LUN) for new devices or devices that have gone away.
568 may specify a scan of all busses, a single bus, or a lun.
570 on a target is not supported.
572 Tell the kernel to refresh the information about the device and
573 notify the upper layer,
575 This includes sending the SCSI READ CAPACITY command and updating
576 the disk size visible to the rest of the system.
578 Tell the kernel to reset all busses in the system (with the
580 argument) or the given bus (XPT_RESET_BUS) by issuing a SCSI bus
581 reset for that bus, or to reset the given bus:target:lun
582 (XPT_RESET_DEV), typically by issuing a BUS DEVICE RESET message after
583 connecting to that device.
584 Note that this can have a destructive impact
589 READ DEFECT DATA (10) command (0x37) or the
591 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command (0xB7) to the given device, and
592 print out any combination of: the total number of defects, the primary
593 defect list (PLIST), and the grown defect list (GLIST).
596 Specify the requested format of the defect list.
597 The format argument is
599 Most drives support the physical sector format.
601 support the logical block format.
602 Many drives, if they do not support the
603 requested format, return the data in an alternate format, along with sense
604 information indicating that the requested data format is not supported.
608 attempts to detect this, and print out whatever format the drive returns.
609 If the drive uses a non-standard sense code to report that it does not
610 support the requested format,
612 will probably see the error as a failure to complete the request.
614 The format options are:
617 Print out the list as logical blocks.
618 This is limited to 32-bit block sizes, and isn't supported by many modern
621 Print out the list as logical blocks.
622 This option uses a 64-bit block size.
624 Print out the list in bytes from index format.
626 Print out the list in extended bytes from index format.
627 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
629 Print out the list in physical sector format.
630 Most drives support this format.
632 Print out the list in extended physical sector format.
633 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 .It Fl m Ar mode_page
701 This specifies the number of the mode page the user would like to view
703 This argument is mandatory unless
707 This allows the user to specify the page control field.
709 .Bl -tag -width xxx -compact
721 Allows the user to send an arbitrary ATA or SCSI CDB to any device.
724 function requires the
726 argument to specify SCSI CDB or the
728 argument to specify ATA Command Block registers values.
729 Other arguments are optional, depending on
731 The command and data specification syntax is documented
734 NOTE: If the CDB specified causes data to be transferred to or from the
735 SCSI device in question, you MUST specify either
740 .It Fl a Ar cmd Op args
741 This specifies the content of 12 ATA Command Block registers (command,
742 features, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp.
743 lba_high_exp, features_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp).

751 .It Fl i Ar len Ar fmt
752 This specifies the amount of data to read, and how it should be displayed.
756 bytes of data will be read from the device and written to standard output.
757 .It Fl o Ar len Ar fmt Op args
758 This specifies the amount of data to be written to a device, and the data
759 that is to be written.
763 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written to the device.
765 This specifies that 11 result ATA Command Block registers should be displayed
766 (status, error, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp,
767 lba_high_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp), and how.
770 11 result registers will be written to standard output in hex.
773 Allows the user to send an arbitrary Serial
774 Management Protocol (SMP) command to a device.
777 function requires the
779 argument to specify the SMP request to be sent, and the
781 argument to specify the format of the SMP response.
782 The syntax for the SMP request and response arguments is documented in
785 Note that SAS adapters that support SMP passthrough (at least the currently
786 known adapters) do not accept CRC bytes from the user in the request and do
787 not pass CRC bytes back to the user in the response.
788 Therefore users should not include the CRC bytes in the length of the
789 request and not expect CRC bytes to be returned in the response.
791 .It Fl r Ar len Ar fmt Op args
792 This specifies the size of the SMP request, without the CRC bytes, and the
797 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written as the SMP
799 .It Fl R Ar len Ar fmt Op args
800 This specifies the size of the buffer allocated for the SMP response, and
801 the SMP response format.
805 bytes of data will be allocated for the response and the response will be
806 written to standard output.
809 Allows the user to send the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) Report General
812 will display the data returned by the Report General command.
813 If the SMP target supports the long response format, the additional data
814 will be requested and displayed automatically.
817 Request the long response format only.
818 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
821 to skip sending the initial report general request without the long bit set
822 and only issue a report general request with the long bit set.
825 Allows the user to issue the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) PHY Control
827 This function should be used with some caution, as it can render devices
828 inaccessible, and could potentially cause data corruption as well.
831 argument is required to specify the PHY to operate on.
834 Specify the PHY to operate on.
835 This argument is required.
837 Request the long request/response format.
838 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
839 For the PHY Control command, this currently only affects whether the
840 request length is set to a value other than 0.
841 .It Fl o Ar operation
842 Specify a PHY control operation.
845 operation may be specified.
846 The operation may be specified numerically (in decimal, hexadecimal, or octal)
847 or one of the following operation names may be specified:
851 It is not necessary to specify this argument.
853 Send the LINK RESET command to the phy.
855 Send the HARD RESET command to the phy.
857 Send the DISABLE command to the phy.
858 Note that the LINK RESET or HARD RESET commands should re-enable the phy.

861 This clears the error log counters for the specified phy.
863 Send the CLEAR AFFILIATION command.
864 This clears the affiliation from the STP initiator port with the same SAS
865 address as the SMP initiator that requests the clear operation.
867 Send the TRANSMIT SATA PORT SELECTION SIGNAL command to the phy.
868 This will cause a SATA port selector to use the given phy as its active phy
869 and make the other phy inactive.

945 Turn on CAM debugging printfs in the kernel.
946 This requires options CAMDEBUG
947 in your kernel config file.
948 WARNING: enabling debugging printfs currently
949 causes an EXTREME number of kernel printfs.
950 You may have difficulty
951 turning off the debugging printfs once they start, since the kernel will be
952 busy printing messages and unable to service other requests quickly.
955 function takes a number of arguments:
958 Enable CAM_DEBUG_INFO printfs.
960 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PERIPH printfs.
962 Enable CAM_DEBUG_TRACE printfs.
964 Enable CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE printfs.
966 Enable CAM_DEBUG_XPT printfs.
968 Enable CAM_DEBUG_CDB printfs.
969 This will cause the kernel to print out the
970 SCSI CDBs sent to the specified device(s).
972 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PROBE printfs.
974 Enable debugging for all devices.
976 Turn off debugging for all devices
977 .It bus Ns Op :target Ns Op :lun
978 Turn on debugging for the given bus, target or lun.
980 and lun are not specified, they are wildcarded.
981 (i.e., just specifying a
982 bus turns on debugging printfs for all devices on that bus.)
985 Show or set the number of "tagged openings" or simultaneous transactions
986 we attempt to queue to a particular device.
989 command, with no command-specific arguments (i.e., only generic arguments)
990 prints out the "soft" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to
991 the device in question.
992 For more detailed information, use the
994 argument described below.
997 Set the number of tags for the given device.
998 This must be between the
999 minimum and maximum number set in the kernel quirk table.
1001 most devices that support tagged queueing is a minimum of 2 and a maximum
1003 The minimum and maximum values for a given device may be
1004 determined by using the
1011 subcommand is described below.
1013 Be quiet, and do not report the number of tags.
1014 This is generally used when
1015 setting the number of tags.
1017 The verbose flag has special functionality for the
1022 to print out the tagged queueing related fields of the XPT_GDEV_TYPE CCB:
1025 This is the amount of capacity for transactions queued to a given device.
1027 This is the number of transactions currently queued to a device.
1029 This is the kernel queue space for transactions.
1030 This count usually mirrors
1031 dev_openings except during error recovery operations when
1032 the device queue is frozen (device is not allowed to receive
1033 commands), the number of dev_openings is reduced, or transaction
1034 replay is occurring.
1036 This is the number of transactions waiting in the kernel queue for capacity
1038 This number is usually zero unless error recovery is in
1041 The held count is the number of CCBs held by peripheral drivers that have
1042 either just been completed or are about to be released to the transport
1043 layer for service by a device.
1044 Held CCBs reserve capacity on a given
1047 This is the current "hard" minimum number of transactions that can be
1048 queued to a device at once.
1051 value above cannot go below this number.
1052 The default value for
1054 is 2, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1056 This is the "hard" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to a
1060 value cannot go above this number.
1061 The default value for
1063 is 255, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1067 Show or negotiate various communication parameters.
1068 Some controllers may
1069 not support setting or changing some of these values.
1071 Adaptec 174x controllers do not support changing a device's sync rate or
1076 will not attempt to set the parameter if the controller indicates that it
1077 does not support setting the parameter.
1078 To find out what the controller
1086 command is described below.
1087 Also, some controller drivers do not support
1088 setting negotiation parameters, even if the underlying controller supports
1089 negotiation changes.
1090 Some controllers, such as the Advansys wide
1091 controllers, support enabling and disabling synchronous negotiation for
1092 a device, but do not support setting the synchronous negotiation rate.
1095 Attempt to make the negotiation settings take effect immediately by sending
1096 a Test Unit Ready command to the device.
1098 Show or set current negotiation settings.
1099 This is the default.
1100 .It Fl D Ar enable|disable
1101 Enable or disable disconnection.
1105 Set the command delay offset.
1107 Be quiet, do not print anything.
1108 This is generally useful when you want to
1109 set a parameter, but do not want any status information.
1110 .It Fl R Ar syncrate
1111 Change the synchronization rate for a device.
1112 The sync rate is a floating
1113 point value specified in MHz.
1116 is a legal value, as is
1118 .It Fl T Ar enable|disable
1119 Enable or disable tagged queueing for a device.
1121 Show or set user negotiation settings.
1122 The default is to show or set
1123 current negotiation settings.
1125 The verbose switch has special meaning for the
1130 to print out the contents of a Path Inquiry (XPT_PATH_INQ) CCB sent to the
1132 .It Fl W Ar bus_width
1133 Specify the bus width to negotiate with a device.
1136 The only useful values to specify are 8, 16, and 32
1138 The controller must support the bus width in question in order for
1139 the setting to take effect.
1142 In general, sync rate and offset settings will not take effect for a
1143 device until a command has been sent to the device.
1146 switch above will automatically send a Test Unit Ready to the device so
1147 negotiation parameters will take effect.
1151 FORMAT UNIT command to the named device.
1153 .Em WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
1155 Low level formatting a disk will destroy ALL data on the disk.
1157 extreme caution when issuing this command.
1158 Many users low-level format
1159 disks that do not really need to be low-level formatted.
1161 relatively few scenarios that call for low-level formatting a disk.
1163 low-level formatting a disk is to initialize the disk after changing
1164 its physical sector size.
1165 Another reason for low-level formatting a disk
1166 is to revive the disk if you are getting "medium format corrupted" errors
1167 from the disk in response to read and write requests.
1169 Some disks take longer than others to format.
1170 Users should specify a
1171 timeout long enough to allow the format to complete.
1173 timeout is 3 hours, which should be long enough for most disks.
1175 disks will complete a format operation in a very short period of time
1176 (on the order of 5 minutes or less).
1177 This is often because the drive
1178 does not really support the FORMAT UNIT command -- it just accepts the
1179 command, waits a few minutes and then returns it.
1183 subcommand takes several arguments that modify its default behavior.

2132 This allows managing devices that conform to the
2134 Zoned Block Commands (ZBC) and
2136 Zoned ATA Command Set (ZAC)
2138 Devices using these command sets are usually hard drives using Shingled
2139 Magnetic Recording (SMR).
2140 There are three types of SMR drives:
2143 Drive Managed drives look and act just like a standard random access block
2144 device, but underneath, the drive reads and writes the bulk of its capacity
2146 Sequential writes will yield better performance, but writing sequentially
2149 Host Aware drives expose the underlying zone layout via
2153 commands and allow the host to manage the zone conditions.
2154 The host is not required to manage the zones on the drive, though.
2155 Sequential writes will yield better performance in Sequential Write
2156 Preferred zones, but the host can write randomly in those zones.
2158 Host Managed drives expose the underlying zone layout via
2163 The host is required to access the zones according to the rules described
2165 Any commands that violate the rules will be returned with an error.
2168 SMR drives are divided into zones (typically in the range of 256MB each)
2169 that fall into three general categories:
2172 These are also known as Non Write Pointer zones.
2173 These zones can be randomly written without an unexpected performance penalty.
2174 .It Sequential Preferred
2175 These zones should be written sequentially starting at the write pointer
2177 They may be written randomly.
2178 Writes that do not conform to the zone layout may be significantly slower

2181 These zones must be written sequentially.
2182 If they are not written sequentially, starting at the write pointer, the

2207 Finish the zone specified by the starting LBA.
2209 Reset the write pointer for the zone specified by the starting LBA.
2212 For the Open, Close, Finish, and Reset Write Pointer operations, apply the
2213 operation to all zones on the drive.
2215 Specify the starting LBA.
2216 For the Report Zones command, this tells the drive to report starting with
2217 the zone that starts at the given LBA.
2218 For the other commands, this allows the user to identify the zone requested
2219 by its starting LBA.
2220 The LBA may be specified in decimal, hexadecimal or octal notation.
2222 For the Report Zones command, specify a subset of zones to report.
2226 This is the default.
2228 Report only empty zones.
2230 Report zones that are implicitly open.
2231 This means that the host has sent a write to the zone without explicitly
