355 utility is designed to provide a way for users to access and control the
362 can cause a loss of data and/or system crashes if used improperly.
364 expert users are encouraged to exercise caution when using this command.
365 Novice users should stay away from this utility.
369 utility has a number of primary functions, many of which support an optional
371 A device identifier can take one of three forms:
374 Specify a device name and unit number combination, like "da5" or "cd3".
376 Specify a bus number and target id.
377 The bus number can be determined from
379 .Dq camcontrol devlist .
380 The lun defaults to 0.
382 Specify the bus, target and lun for a device.
386 The device identifier, if it is specified,
388 come immediately after the function name, and before any generic or
389 function-specific arguments.
394 arguments described below will override any device name or unit number
395 specified beforehand.
402 override a specified bus:target or bus:target:lun, however.
406 primary functions support these generic arguments:
409 SCSI command retry count.
410 In order for this to work, error recovery
414 Instruct the kernel to perform generic SCSI error recovery for the given
416 This is needed in order for the retry count
419 Other than retrying commands, the generic error recovery in
420 the code will generally attempt to spin up drives that are not spinning.
421 It may take some other actions, depending upon the sense code returned from
424 Specify the device type to operate on, e.g.\& "da", "cd".
425 .It Fl Q Ar task_attr
427 task attribute for the command, if it is a
430 This may be ordered, simple, head, or aca.
431 In most cases this is not needed.
432 The default is simple, which works with all
435 The task attribute may also be specified numerically.
437 SCSI command timeout in seconds.
438 This overrides the default timeout for
440 .It Fl u Ar unit_number
441 Specify the device unit number, e.g.\& "1", "5".
443 Be verbose, print out sense information for failed SCSI commands.
446 Primary command functions:
447 .Bl -tag -width periphlist
449 List all physical devices (logical units) attached to the CAM subsystem.
450 This also includes a list of peripheral drivers attached to each device.
453 argument, SCSI bus number, adapter name and unit numbers are printed as
455 On the other hand, with the
457 argument, only the bus adapter, and unit information will be printed, and
458 device information will be omitted.
460 List all peripheral drivers attached to a given physical device (logical
463 Send the SCSI test unit ready (0x00) command to the given device.
466 utility will report whether the device is ready or not.
468 Send a SCSI inquiry command (0x12) to a device.
471 will print out the standard inquiry data, device serial number, and
472 transfer rate information.
473 The user can specify that only certain types of
474 inquiry data be printed:
477 Get the standard inquiry data.
479 Print out the serial number.
480 If this flag is the only one specified,
482 will not print out "Serial Number" before the value returned by the drive.
483 This is to aid in script writing.
485 Print out transfer rate information.
488 Send a ATA identify command (0xec) to a device.
490 Send the SCSI REPORT LUNS (0xA0) command to the given device.
493 will print out the list of logical units (LUNs) supported by the target device.
494 There are a couple of options to modify the output:
497 Just print out a count of LUNs, not the actual LUN numbers.
499 Just print out the LUNs, and do not print out the count.
500 .It Fl r Ar reporttype
501 Specify the type of report to request from the target:
502 .Bl -tag -width 012345678
504 Return the default report.
508 Most targets will support this report if they support the REPORT LUNS
511 Return only well known LUNs.
513 Return all available LUNs.
518 will try to print out LUN numbers in a reasonable format.
519 It can understand the peripheral, flat, LUN and extended LUN formats.
521 Send the SCSI READ CAPACITY command to the given device and display
523 If the device is larger than 2TB, the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service
524 action will be sent to obtain the full size of the device.
527 will print out the last logical block of the device, and the blocksize of
529 To modify the output format, use the following options:
532 Just print out the blocksize, not the last block or device size.
533 This cannot be used with
538 Print out the device size in human readable (base 2, 1K == 1024) format.
541 and cannot be used with
546 Print out the device size in human readable (base 10, 1K == 1000) format.
548 Print out the number of blocks in the device instead of the last logical
551 Quiet, print out the numbers only (separated by a comma if
557 Print out the last logical block or the size of the device only, and omit
561 Note that this command only displays the information, it does not update
562 the kernel data structures.
565 reprobe subcommand to do that.
567 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
570 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
573 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
574 start bit set and the load/eject bit set.
576 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
577 start bit cleared and the load/eject bit set.
579 Tell the kernel to scan all buses in the system (with the
581 argument), the given bus (XPT_SCAN_BUS), or bus:target:lun
582 (XPT_SCAN_LUN) for new devices or devices that have gone away.
584 may specify a scan of all buses, a single bus, or a lun.
586 on a target is not supported.
588 Tell the kernel to refresh the information about the device and
589 notify the upper layer,
591 This includes sending the SCSI READ CAPACITY command and updating
592 the disk size visible to the rest of the system.
594 Tell the kernel to reset all buses in the system (with the
596 argument) or the given bus (XPT_RESET_BUS) by issuing a SCSI bus
597 reset for that bus, or to reset the given bus:target:lun
598 (XPT_RESET_DEV), typically by issuing a BUS DEVICE RESET message after
599 connecting to that device.
600 Note that this can have a destructive impact
605 READ DEFECT DATA (10) command (0x37) or the
607 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command (0xB7) to the given device, and
608 print out any combination of: the total number of defects, the primary
609 defect list (PLIST), and the grown defect list (GLIST).
612 Specify the requested format of the defect list.
613 The format argument is
615 Most drives support the physical sector format.
617 support the logical block format.
618 Many drives, if they do not support the
619 requested format, return the data in an alternate format, along with sense
620 information indicating that the requested data format is not supported.
624 attempts to detect this, and print out whatever format the drive returns.
625 If the drive uses a non-standard sense code to report that it does not
626 support the requested format,
628 will probably see the error as a failure to complete the request.
630 The format options are:
633 Print out the list as logical blocks.
634 This is limited to 32-bit block sizes, and isn't supported by many modern
637 Print out the list as logical blocks.
638 This option uses a 64-bit block size.
640 Print out the list in bytes from index format.
642 Print out the list in extended bytes from index format.
643 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
645 Print out the list in physical sector format.
646 Most drives support this format.
648 Print out the list in extended physical sector format.
649 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
652 Print out the grown defect list.
653 This is a list of bad blocks that have
654 been remapped since the disk left the factory.
656 Print out the primary defect list.
657 This is the list of defects that were present in the factory.
659 When printing status information with
661 only print the number of defects.
663 Just print the number of defects, not the list of defects.
665 Specify the starting offset into the defect list.
666 This implies using the
668 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command, as the 10 byte version of the command
669 doesn't support the address descriptor index field.
670 Not all drives support the 12 byte command, and some drives that support
671 the 12 byte command don't support the address descriptor index field.
673 Print out defects in hexadecimal (base 16) form instead of base 10 form.
682 will print out the number of defects given in the READ DEFECT DATA header
683 returned from the drive.
684 Some drives will report 0 defects if neither the primary or grown defect
687 Allows the user to display and optionally edit a SCSI mode page.
689 page formats are located in
690 .Pa /usr/share/misc/scsi_modes .
691 This can be overridden by specifying a different file in the
693 environment variable.
696 command takes several arguments:
699 Disable block descriptors for mode sense.
701 Displays mode page data in binary format.
703 This flag allows the user to edit values in the mode page.
705 either edit mode page values with the text editor pointed to by his
707 environment variable, or supply mode page values via standard input, using
710 uses to display mode page values.
711 The editor will be invoked if
713 detects that standard input is terminal.
715 Lists all available mode pages.
716 If specified more then once, also lists subpages.
717 .It Fl m Ar page[,subpage]
718 This specifies the number of the mode page and optionally subpage the user
719 would like to view and/or edit.
720 This argument is mandatory unless
724 This allows the user to specify the page control field.
726 .Bl -tag -width xxx -compact
738 Allows the user to send an arbitrary ATA or SCSI CDB to any device.
741 function requires the
743 argument to specify SCSI CDB or the
745 argument to specify ATA Command Block registers values.
746 Other arguments are optional, depending on
748 The command and data specification syntax is documented
751 NOTE: If the CDB specified causes data to be transferred to or from the
752 SCSI device in question, you MUST specify either
757 .It Fl a Ar cmd Op args
758 This specifies the content of 12 ATA Command Block registers (command,
759 features, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp.
760 lba_high_exp, features_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp).

768 .It Fl i Ar len Ar fmt
769 This specifies the amount of data to read, and how it should be displayed.
773 bytes of data will be read from the device and written to standard output.
774 .It Fl o Ar len Ar fmt Op args
775 This specifies the amount of data to be written to a device, and the data
776 that is to be written.
780 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written to the device.
782 This specifies that 11 result ATA Command Block registers should be displayed
783 (status, error, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp,
784 lba_high_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp), and how.
787 11 result registers will be written to standard output in hex.
790 Allows the user to send an arbitrary Serial
791 Management Protocol (SMP) command to a device.
794 function requires the
796 argument to specify the SMP request to be sent, and the
798 argument to specify the format of the SMP response.
799 The syntax for the SMP request and response arguments is documented in
802 Note that SAS adapters that support SMP passthrough (at least the currently
803 known adapters) do not accept CRC bytes from the user in the request and do
804 not pass CRC bytes back to the user in the response.
805 Therefore users should not include the CRC bytes in the length of the
806 request and not expect CRC bytes to be returned in the response.
808 .It Fl r Ar len Ar fmt Op args
809 This specifies the size of the SMP request, without the CRC bytes, and the
814 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written as the SMP
816 .It Fl R Ar len Ar fmt Op args
817 This specifies the size of the buffer allocated for the SMP response, and
818 the SMP response format.
822 bytes of data will be allocated for the response and the response will be
823 written to standard output.
826 Allows the user to send the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) Report General
829 will display the data returned by the Report General command.
830 If the SMP target supports the long response format, the additional data
831 will be requested and displayed automatically.
834 Request the long response format only.
835 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
838 to skip sending the initial report general request without the long bit set
839 and only issue a report general request with the long bit set.
842 Allows the user to issue the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) PHY Control
844 This function should be used with some caution, as it can render devices
845 inaccessible, and could potentially cause data corruption as well.
848 argument is required to specify the PHY to operate on.
851 Specify the PHY to operate on.
852 This argument is required.
854 Request the long request/response format.
855 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
856 For the PHY Control command, this currently only affects whether the
857 request length is set to a value other than 0.
858 .It Fl o Ar operation
859 Specify a PHY control operation.
862 operation may be specified.
863 The operation may be specified numerically (in decimal, hexadecimal, or octal)

962 Turn on CAM debugging printfs in the kernel.
963 This requires options CAMDEBUG
964 in your kernel config file.
965 WARNING: enabling debugging printfs currently
966 causes an EXTREME number of kernel printfs.
967 You may have difficulty
968 turning off the debugging printfs once they start, since the kernel will be
969 busy printing messages and unable to service other requests quickly.
972 function takes a number of arguments:
975 Enable CAM_DEBUG_INFO printfs.
977 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PERIPH printfs.
979 Enable CAM_DEBUG_TRACE printfs.
981 Enable CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE printfs.
983 Enable CAM_DEBUG_XPT printfs.

999 bus turns on debugging printfs for all devices on that bus.)
1002 Show or set the number of "tagged openings" or simultaneous transactions
1003 we attempt to queue to a particular device.
1006 command, with no command-specific arguments (i.e., only generic arguments)
1007 prints out the "soft" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to
1008 the device in question.
1009 For more detailed information, use the
1011 argument described below.
1014 Set the number of tags for the given device.
1015 This must be between the
1016 minimum and maximum number set in the kernel quirk table.
1018 most devices that support tagged queueing is a minimum of 2 and a maximum
1020 The minimum and maximum values for a given device may be
1021 determined by using the
1028 subcommand is described below.
1030 Be quiet, and do not report the number of tags.
1031 This is generally used when
1032 setting the number of tags.
1034 The verbose flag has special functionality for the
1039 to print out the tagged queueing related fields of the XPT_GDEV_TYPE CCB:
1042 This is the amount of capacity for transactions queued to a given device.
1044 This is the number of transactions currently queued to a device.
1046 This is the kernel queue space for transactions.
1047 This count usually mirrors
1048 dev_openings except during error recovery operations when
1049 the device queue is frozen (device is not allowed to receive
1050 commands), the number of dev_openings is reduced, or transaction
1051 replay is occurring.
1053 This is the number of transactions waiting in the kernel queue for capacity
1055 This number is usually zero unless error recovery is in
1058 The held count is the number of CCBs held by peripheral drivers that have
1059 either just been completed or are about to be released to the transport
1060 layer for service by a device.
1061 Held CCBs reserve capacity on a given
1064 This is the current "hard" minimum number of transactions that can be
1065 queued to a device at once.
1068 value above cannot go below this number.
1069 The default value for
1071 is 2, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1073 This is the "hard" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to a
1077 value cannot go above this number.
1078 The default value for
1080 is 255, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1084 Show or negotiate various communication parameters.
1085 Some controllers may
1086 not support setting or changing some of these values.
1088 Adaptec 174x controllers do not support changing a device's sync rate or
1093 will not attempt to set the parameter if the controller indicates that it
1094 does not support setting the parameter.
1095 To find out what the controller
1103 command is described below.
1104 Also, some controller drivers do not support
1105 setting negotiation parameters, even if the underlying controller supports
1106 negotiation changes.
1107 Some controllers, such as the Advansys wide
1108 controllers, support enabling and disabling synchronous negotiation for
1109 a device, but do not support setting the synchronous negotiation rate.
1112 Attempt to make the negotiation settings take effect immediately by sending
1113 a Test Unit Ready command to the device.
1115 Show or set current negotiation settings.
1116 This is the default.
1117 .It Fl D Ar enable|disable
1118 Enable or disable disconnection.
1122 Set the command delay offset.
1124 Be quiet, do not print anything.
1125 This is generally useful when you want to
1126 set a parameter, but do not want any status information.
1127 .It Fl R Ar syncrate
1128 Change the synchronization rate for a device.
1129 The sync rate is a floating
1130 point value specified in MHz.
1133 is a legal value, as is
1135 .It Fl T Ar enable|disable
1136 Enable or disable tagged queueing for a device.
1138 Show or set user negotiation settings.
1139 The default is to show or set
1140 current negotiation settings.
1142 The verbose switch has special meaning for the
1147 to print out the contents of a Path Inquiry (XPT_PATH_INQ) CCB sent to the
1149 .It Fl W Ar bus_width
1150 Specify the bus width to negotiate with a device.
1153 The only useful values to specify are 8, 16, and 32
1155 The controller must support the bus width in question in order for
1156 the setting to take effect.
1159 In general, sync rate and offset settings will not take effect for a
1160 device until a command has been sent to the device.
1163 switch above will automatically send a Test Unit Ready to the device so
1164 negotiation parameters will take effect.

2149 This allows managing devices that conform to the
2151 Zoned Block Commands (ZBC) and
2153 Zoned ATA Command Set (ZAC)
2155 Devices using these command sets are usually hard drives using Shingled
2156 Magnetic Recording (SMR).
2157 There are three types of SMR drives:
2160 Drive Managed drives look and act just like a standard random access block
2161 device, but underneath, the drive reads and writes the bulk of its capacity
2163 Sequential writes will yield better performance, but writing sequentially
2166 Host Aware drives expose the underlying zone layout via
2170 commands and allow the host to manage the zone conditions.
2171 The host is not required to manage the zones on the drive, though.
2172 Sequential writes will yield better performance in Sequential Write
2173 Preferred zones, but the host can write randomly in those zones.
2175 Host Managed drives expose the underlying zone layout via
2180 The host is required to access the zones according to the rules described
2182 Any commands that violate the rules will be returned with an error.
2185 SMR drives are divided into zones (typically in the range of 256MB each)
2186 that fall into three general categories:
2189 These are also known as Non Write Pointer zones.
2190 These zones can be randomly written without an unexpected performance penalty.
2191 .It Sequential Preferred
2192 These zones should be written sequentially starting at the write pointer
2194 They may be written randomly.
2195 Writes that do not conform to the zone layout may be significantly slower

2198 These zones must be written sequentially.

2229 For the Open, Close, Finish, and Reset Write Pointer operations, apply the
2230 operation to all zones on the drive.
2232 Specify the starting LBA.
2233 For the Report Zones command, this tells the drive to report starting with
2234 the zone that starts at the given LBA.
2235 For the other commands, this allows the user to identify the zone requested
2236 by its starting LBA.
2237 The LBA may be specified in decimal, hexadecimal or octal notation.
2239 For the Report Zones command, specify a subset of zones to report.
2243 This is the default.
