380 utility allows users to access and control the
382 CAM subsystem described in
388 can cause a loss of data and/or system crashes if used improperly.
390 expert users are encouraged to exercise caution when using this command.
391 Novice users should stay away from this utility.
395 utility has a number of primary functions, many of which support an optional
397 A device identifier can take one of three forms:
400 Specify a device name and unit number combination, like "da5" or "cd3".
402 Specify a bus number and target id.
403 The bus number can be determined from
405 .Dq camcontrol devlist .
406 The lun defaults to 0.
408 Specify the bus, target and lun for a device.
412 The device identifier, if it is specified,
414 come immediately after the function name, and before any generic or
415 function-specific arguments.
420 arguments described below will override any device name or unit number
421 specified beforehand.
428 override a specified bus:target or bus:target:lun, however.
432 primary functions support these generic arguments:
435 SCSI command retry count.
436 In order for this to work, error recovery
440 Instruct the kernel to perform generic SCSI error recovery for the given
442 This is needed in order for the retry count
445 Other than retrying commands, the generic error recovery in
446 the code will generally attempt to spin up drives that are not spinning.
447 It may take some other actions, depending upon the sense code returned from
450 Specify the device type to operate on, e.g.\& "da", "cd".
451 .It Fl Q Ar task_attr
453 task attribute for the command, if it is a
456 This may be ordered, simple, head, or aca.
457 In most cases this is not needed.
458 The default is simple, which works with all
461 The task attribute may also be specified numerically.
463 SCSI command timeout in seconds.
464 This overrides the default timeout for
466 .It Fl u Ar unit_number
467 Specify the device unit number, e.g.\& "1", "5".
469 Be verbose, print out sense information for failed SCSI commands.
472 Primary command functions:
473 .Bl -tag -width periphlist
475 List all physical devices (logical units) attached to the CAM subsystem.
476 This also includes a list of peripheral drivers attached to each device.
479 argument, SCSI bus number, adapter name and unit numbers are printed as
481 On the other hand, with the
483 argument, only the bus adapter, and unit information will be printed, and
484 device information will be omitted.
486 List all peripheral drivers attached to a given physical device (logical
489 Send the SCSI test unit ready (0x00) command to the given device.
492 utility will report whether the device is ready or not.
494 Send a SCSI inquiry command (0x12) to a device.
497 will print out the standard inquiry data, device serial number, and
498 transfer rate information.
499 The user can specify that only certain types of
500 inquiry data be printed:
503 Get the standard inquiry data.
505 Print out the serial number.
506 If this flag is the only one specified,
508 will not print out "Serial Number" before the value returned by the drive.
509 This is to aid in script writing.
511 Print out transfer rate information.
514 Send a ATA identify command (0xec) to a device.
516 Send the SCSI REPORT LUNS (0xA0) command to the given device.
519 will print out the list of logical units (LUNs) supported by the target device.
520 There are a couple of options to modify the output:
523 Just print out a count of LUNs, not the actual LUN numbers.
525 Just print out the LUNs, and do not print out the count.
526 .It Fl r Ar reporttype
527 Specify the type of report to request from the target:
528 .Bl -tag -width 012345678
530 Return the default report.
534 Most targets will support this report if they support the REPORT LUNS
537 Return only well known LUNs.
539 Return all available LUNs.
544 will try to print out LUN numbers in a reasonable format.
545 It can understand the peripheral, flat, LUN and extended LUN formats.
547 Send the SCSI READ CAPACITY command to the given device and display
549 If the device is larger than 2TB, the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service
550 action will be sent to obtain the full size of the device.
553 will print out the last logical block of the device, and the blocksize of
555 To modify the output format, use the following options:
558 Just print out the blocksize, not the last block or device size.
559 This cannot be used with
564 Print out the device size in human readable (base 2, 1K == 1024) format.
567 and cannot be used with
572 Print out the device size in human readable (base 10, 1K == 1000) format.
574 Skip sending the SCSI READ CAPACITY (10) command.
575 Send only the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service action and report
577 When the two do not match, a quirk is needed to resolve the ambiguity.
579 Print out the number of blocks in the device instead of the last logical
582 Quiet, print out the numbers only (separated by a comma if
588 Print out the last logical block or the size of the device only, and omit
592 Note that this command only displays the information, it does not update
593 the kernel data structures.
596 reprobe subcommand to do that.
598 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
601 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
604 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
605 start bit set and the load/eject bit set.
607 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
608 start bit cleared and the load/eject bit set.
610 Tell the kernel to scan all buses in the system (with the
612 argument), the given bus (XPT_SCAN_BUS), bus:target:lun or device
613 (XPT_SCAN_LUN) for new devices or devices that have gone away.
615 may specify a scan of all buses, a single bus, or a lun.
617 on a target is not supported.
619 If a device is specified by peripheral name and unit number, for instance
620 da4, it may only be rescanned if that device currently exists in the CAM EDT
621 (Existing Device Table).
622 If the device is no longer there (see
625 you must use the bus:target:lun form to rescan it.
627 Tell the kernel to refresh the information about the device and
628 notify the upper layer,
630 This includes sending the SCSI READ CAPACITY command and updating
631 the disk size visible to the rest of the system.
633 Tell the kernel to reset all buses in the system (with the
635 argument), the given bus (XPT_RESET_BUS) by issuing a SCSI bus
636 reset for that bus, or to reset the given bus:target:lun or device
637 (XPT_RESET_DEV), typically by issuing a BUS DEVICE RESET message after
638 connecting to that device.
639 Note that this can have a destructive impact
644 READ DEFECT DATA (10) command (0x37) or the
646 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command (0xB7) to the given device, and
647 print out any combination of: the total number of defects, the primary
648 defect list (PLIST), and the grown defect list (GLIST).
651 Specify the requested format of the defect list.
652 The format argument is
654 Most drives support the physical sector format.
656 support the logical block format.
657 Many drives, if they do not support the
658 requested format, return the data in an alternate format, along with sense
659 information indicating that the requested data format is not supported.
663 attempts to detect this, and print out whatever format the drive returns.
664 If the drive uses a non-standard sense code to report that it does not
665 support the requested format,
667 will probably see the error as a failure to complete the request.
669 The format options are:
672 Print out the list as logical blocks.
673 This is limited to 32-bit block sizes, and isn't supported by many modern
676 Print out the list as logical blocks.
677 This option uses a 64-bit block size.
679 Print out the list in bytes from index format.
681 Print out the list in extended bytes from index format.
682 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
684 Print out the list in physical sector format.
685 Most drives support this format.
687 Print out the list in extended physical sector format.
688 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
691 Print out the grown defect list.
692 This is a list of bad blocks that have
693 been remapped since the disk left the factory.
695 Print out the primary defect list.
696 This is the list of defects that were present in the factory.
698 When printing status information with
700 only print the number of defects.
702 Just print the number of defects, not the list of defects.
704 Specify the starting offset into the defect list.
705 This implies using the
707 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command, as the 10 byte version of the command
708 doesn't support the address descriptor index field.
709 Not all drives support the 12 byte command, and some drives that support
710 the 12 byte command don't support the address descriptor index field.
712 Print out defects in hexadecimal (base 16) form instead of base 10 form.
721 will print out the number of defects given in the READ DEFECT DATA header
722 returned from the drive.
723 Some drives will report 0 defects if neither the primary or grown defect
726 Allows the user to display and optionally edit a SCSI mode page.
728 page formats are located in
729 .Pa /usr/share/misc/scsi_modes .
730 This can be overridden by specifying a different file in the
732 environment variable.
735 command takes several arguments:
738 Use 6 byte MODE commands instead of default 10 byte.
739 Old devices may not support 10 byte MODE commands, while new devices may
740 not be able to report all mode pages with 6 byte commands.
743 starts with 10 byte commands and falls back to 6 byte on error.
745 Disable block descriptors for mode sense.
747 Display/edit block descriptors instead of mode page.
749 Use long LBA block descriptors.
750 Allows number of LBAs bigger then 2^^32.
752 Displays mode page data in binary format.
754 This flag allows the user to edit values in the mode page.
756 either edit mode page values with the text editor pointed to by his
758 environment variable, or supply mode page values via standard input, using
761 uses to display mode page values.
762 The editor will be invoked if
764 detects that standard input is terminal.
766 Lists all available mode pages.
767 If specified more then once, also lists subpages.
768 .It Fl m Ar page[,subpage]
769 This specifies the number of the mode page and optionally subpage the user
770 would like to view and/or edit.
771 This argument is mandatory unless
775 This allows the user to specify the page control field.
777 .Bl -tag -width xxx -compact
789 Allows the user to send an arbitrary ATA or SCSI CDB to any device.
792 function requires the
794 argument to specify SCSI CDB or the
796 argument to specify ATA Command Block registers values.
797 Other arguments are optional, depending on
799 The command and data specification syntax is documented
802 NOTE: If the CDB specified causes data to be transferred to or from the
803 SCSI device in question, you MUST specify either
808 .It Fl a Ar cmd Op args
809 This specifies the content of 12 ATA Command Block registers (command,
810 features, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp.
811 lba_high_exp, features_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp).
812 .It Fl c Ar cmd Op args
813 This specifies the SCSI CDB.
814 SCSI CDBs may be 6, 10, 12 or 16 bytes.
816 Specifies DMA protocol to be used for ATA command.
818 Specifies FPDMA (NCQ) protocol to be used for ATA command.
819 .It Fl i Ar len Ar fmt
820 This specifies the amount of data to read, and how it should be displayed.
824 bytes of data will be read from the device and written to standard output.
825 .It Fl o Ar len Ar fmt Op args
826 This specifies the amount of data to be written to a device, and the data
827 that is to be written.
831 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written to the device.
833 This specifies that 11 result ATA Command Block registers should be displayed
834 (status, error, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp,
835 lba_high_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp), and how.
838 11 result registers will be written to standard output in hex.
841 Allows the user to send an arbitrary Serial
842 Management Protocol (SMP) command to a device.
845 function requires the
847 argument to specify the SMP request to be sent, and the
849 argument to specify the format of the SMP response.
850 The syntax for the SMP request and response arguments is documented in
853 Note that SAS adapters that support SMP passthrough (at least the currently
854 known adapters) do not accept CRC bytes from the user in the request and do
855 not pass CRC bytes back to the user in the response.
856 Therefore users should not include the CRC bytes in the length of the
857 request and not expect CRC bytes to be returned in the response.
859 .It Fl r Ar len Ar fmt Op args
860 This specifies the size of the SMP request, without the CRC bytes, and the
865 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written as the SMP
867 .It Fl R Ar len Ar fmt Op args
868 This specifies the size of the buffer allocated for the SMP response, and
869 the SMP response format.
873 bytes of data will be allocated for the response and the response will be
874 written to standard output.
877 Allows the user to send the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) Report General
880 will display the data returned by the Report General command.
881 If the SMP target supports the long response format, the additional data
882 will be requested and displayed automatically.
885 Request the long response format only.
886 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
889 to skip sending the initial report general request without the long bit set
890 and only issue a report general request with the long bit set.
893 Allows the user to issue the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) PHY Control
895 This function should be used with some caution, as it can render devices
896 inaccessible, and could potentially cause data corruption as well.
899 argument is required to specify the PHY to operate on.
902 Specify the PHY to operate on.
903 This argument is required.
905 Request the long request/response format.
906 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
907 For the PHY Control command, this currently only affects whether the
908 request length is set to a value other than 0.
909 .It Fl o Ar operation
910 Specify a PHY control operation.
913 operation may be specified.
914 The operation may be specified numerically (in decimal, hexadecimal, or octal)

921 Send the LINK RESET command to the phy.
923 Send the HARD RESET command to the phy.
925 Send the DISABLE command to the phy.
926 Note that the LINK RESET or HARD RESET commands should re-enable the phy.
928 Send the CLEAR ERROR LOG command.
929 This clears the error log counters for the specified phy.
931 Send the CLEAR AFFILIATION command.
932 This clears the affiliation from the STP initiator port with the same SAS
933 address as the SMP initiator that requests the clear operation.
935 Send the TRANSMIT SATA PORT SELECTION SIGNAL command to the phy.
936 This will cause a SATA port selector to use the given phy as its active phy
937 and make the other phy inactive.

1013 Turn on CAM debugging printfs in the kernel.
1014 This requires options CAMDEBUG
1015 in your kernel config file.
1016 WARNING: enabling debugging printfs currently
1017 causes an EXTREME number of kernel printfs.
1018 You may have difficulty
1019 turning off the debugging printfs once they start, since the kernel will be
1020 busy printing messages and unable to service other requests quickly.
1023 function takes a number of arguments:
1026 Enable CAM_DEBUG_INFO printfs.
1028 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PERIPH printfs.
1030 Enable CAM_DEBUG_TRACE printfs.
1032 Enable CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE printfs.
1034 Enable CAM_DEBUG_XPT printfs.
1036 Enable CAM_DEBUG_CDB printfs.
1037 This will cause the kernel to print out the
1038 SCSI CDBs sent to the specified device(s).
1040 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PROBE printfs.
1042 Enable debugging for all devices.
1044 Turn off debugging for all devices
1045 .It bus Ns Op :target Ns Op :lun
1046 Turn on debugging for the given bus, target or lun.
1047 If the lun or target
1048 and lun are not specified, they are wildcarded.
1049 (i.e., just specifying a
1050 bus turns on debugging printfs for all devices on that bus.)
1053 Show or set the number of "tagged openings" or simultaneous transactions
1054 we attempt to queue to a particular device.
1057 command, with no command-specific arguments (i.e., only generic arguments)
1058 prints out the "soft" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to
1059 the device in question.
1060 For more detailed information, use the
1062 argument described below.
1065 Set the number of tags for the given device.
1066 This must be between the
1067 minimum and maximum number set in the kernel quirk table.
1069 most devices that support tagged queueing is a minimum of 2 and a maximum
1071 The minimum and maximum values for a given device may be
1072 determined by using the
1079 subcommand is described below.
1081 Be quiet, and do not report the number of tags.
1082 This is generally used when
1083 setting the number of tags.
1085 The verbose flag has special functionality for the
1090 to print out the tagged queueing related fields of the XPT_GDEV_TYPE CCB:
1093 This is the amount of capacity for transactions queued to a given device.
1095 This is the number of transactions currently queued to a device.
1097 This is the number of CCBs allocated for the device.
1099 The held count is the number of CCBs held by peripheral drivers that have
1100 either just been completed or are about to be released to the transport
1101 layer for service by a device.
1102 Held CCBs reserve capacity on a given
1105 This is the current "hard" minimum number of transactions that can be
1106 queued to a device at once.
1109 value above cannot go below this number.
1110 The default value for
1112 is 2, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1114 This is the "hard" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to a
1118 value cannot go above this number.
1119 The default value for
1121 is 255, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1125 Show or negotiate various communication parameters.
1126 Some controllers may
1127 not support setting or changing some of these values.
1129 Adaptec 174x controllers do not support changing a device's sync rate or
1134 will not attempt to set the parameter if the controller indicates that it
1135 does not support setting the parameter.
1136 To find out what the controller
1144 command is described below.
1145 Also, some controller drivers do not support
1146 setting negotiation parameters, even if the underlying controller supports
1147 negotiation changes.
1148 Some controllers, such as the Advansys wide
1149 controllers, support enabling and disabling synchronous negotiation for
1150 a device, but do not support setting the synchronous negotiation rate.
1153 Attempt to make the negotiation settings take effect immediately by sending
1154 a Test Unit Ready command to the device.
1156 Show or set current negotiation settings.
1157 This is the default.
1158 .It Fl D Ar enable|disable
1159 Enable or disable disconnection.
1163 Set the command delay offset.
1165 Be quiet, do not print anything.
1166 This is generally useful when you want to
1167 set a parameter, but do not want any status information.
1168 .It Fl R Ar syncrate
1169 Change the synchronization rate for a device.
1170 The sync rate is a floating
1171 point value specified in MHz.
1174 is a legal value, as is
1176 .It Fl T Ar enable|disable
1177 Enable or disable tagged queueing for a device.
1179 Show or set user negotiation settings.
1180 The default is to show or set
1181 current negotiation settings.
1183 The verbose switch has special meaning for the
1188 to print out the contents of a Path Inquiry (XPT_PATH_INQ) CCB sent to the
1190 .It Fl W Ar bus_width
1191 Specify the bus width to negotiate with a device.
1194 The only useful values to specify are 8, 16, and 32
1196 The controller must support the bus width in question in order for
1197 the setting to take effect.

1217 disks that do not really need to be low-level formatted.
1219 relatively few scenarios that call for low-level formatting a disk.
1221 low-level formatting a disk is to initialize the disk after changing
1222 its physical sector size.
1223 Another reason for low-level formatting a disk
1224 is to revive the disk if you are getting "medium format corrupted" errors
1225 from the disk in response to read and write requests.
1227 Some disks take longer than others to format.
1228 Users should specify a
1229 timeout long enough to allow the format to complete.
1231 timeout is 3 hours, which should be long enough for most disks.
1233 disks will complete a format operation in a very short period of time
1234 (on the order of 5 minutes or less).
1235 This is often because the drive

2223 Zoned Block devices.
2224 This allows managing devices that conform to the
2226 Zoned Block Commands (ZBC) and
2228 Zoned ATA Command Set (ZAC)
2230 Devices using these command sets are usually hard drives using Shingled
2231 Magnetic Recording (SMR).
2232 There are three types of SMR drives:
2235 Drive Managed drives look and act just like a standard random access block
2236 device, but underneath, the drive reads and writes the bulk of its capacity
2238 Sequential writes will yield better performance, but writing sequentially
2241 Host Aware drives expose the underlying zone layout via
2245 commands and allow the host to manage the zone conditions.
2246 The host is not required to manage the zones on the drive, though.
2247 Sequential writes will yield better performance in Sequential Write
2248 Preferred zones, but the host can write randomly in those zones.
2250 Host Managed drives expose the underlying zone layout via
2255 The host is required to access the zones according to the rules described
2257 Any commands that violate the rules will be returned with an error.
2260 SMR drives are divided into zones (typically in the range of 256MB each)
2261 that fall into three general categories:
2264 These are also known as Non Write Pointer zones.
2265 These zones can be randomly written without an unexpected performance penalty.
2266 .It Sequential Preferred
2267 These zones should be written sequentially starting at the write pointer
2269 They may be written randomly.
2270 Writes that do not conform to the zone layout may be significantly slower

2303 For the Open, Close, Finish, and Reset Write Pointer operations, apply the
2304 operation to all zones on the drive.
2306 Specify the starting LBA.
2307 For the Report Zones command, this tells the drive to report starting with
2308 the zone that starts at the given LBA.
2309 For the other commands, this allows the user to identify the zone requested
2310 by its starting LBA.
2311 The LBA may be specified in decimal, hexadecimal or octal notation.
2313 For the Report Zones command, specify a subset of zones to report.
2317 This is the default.
