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

546 Print out the last logical block or the size of the device only, and omit
550 Note that this command only displays the information, it does not update
551 the kernel data structures.
554 reprobe subcommand to do that.
556 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
559 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
562 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
563 start bit set and the load/eject bit set.
565 Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
566 start bit cleared and the load/eject bit set.
568 Tell the kernel to scan all busses in the system (with the
570 argument), the given bus (XPT_SCAN_BUS), or bus:target:lun
571 (XPT_SCAN_LUN) for new devices or devices that have gone away.
573 may specify a scan of all busses, a single bus, or a lun.
575 on a target is not supported.
577 Tell the kernel to refresh the information about the device and
578 notify the upper layer,
580 This includes sending the SCSI READ CAPACITY command and updating
581 the disk size visible to the rest of the system.
583 Tell the kernel to reset all busses in the system (with the
585 argument) or the given bus (XPT_RESET_BUS) by issuing a SCSI bus
586 reset for that bus, or to reset the given bus:target:lun
587 (XPT_RESET_DEV), typically by issuing a BUS DEVICE RESET message after
588 connecting to that device.
589 Note that this can have a destructive impact
594 READ DEFECT DATA (10) command (0x37) or the
596 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command (0xB7) to the given device, and
597 print out any combination of: the total number of defects, the primary
598 defect list (PLIST), and the grown defect list (GLIST).
601 Specify the requested format of the defect list.
602 The format argument is
604 Most drives support the physical sector format.
606 support the logical block format.
607 Many drives, if they do not support the
608 requested format, return the data in an alternate format, along with sense
609 information indicating that the requested data format is not supported.
613 attempts to detect this, and print out whatever format the drive returns.
614 If the drive uses a non-standard sense code to report that it does not
615 support the requested format,
617 will probably see the error as a failure to complete the request.
619 The format options are:
622 Print out the list as logical blocks.
623 This is limited to 32-bit block sizes, and isn't supported by many modern
626 Print out the list as logical blocks.
627 This option uses a 64-bit block size.
629 Print out the list in bytes from index format.
631 Print out the list in extended bytes from index format.
632 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
634 Print out the list in physical sector format.
635 Most drives support this format.
637 Print out the list in extended physical sector format.
638 The extended format allows for ranges of blocks to be printed.
641 Print out the grown defect list.
642 This is a list of bad blocks that have
643 been remapped since the disk left the factory.
645 Print out the primary defect list.
646 This is the list of defects that were present in the factory.
648 When printing status information with
650 only print the number of defects.
652 Just print the number of defects, not the list of defects.
654 Specify the starting offset into the defect list.
655 This implies using the
657 READ DEFECT DATA (12) command, as the 10 byte version of the command
658 doesn't support the address descriptor index field.
659 Not all drives support the 12 byte command, and some drives that support
660 the 12 byte command don't support the address descriptor index field.
662 Print out defects in hexadecimal (base 16) form instead of base 10 form.
671 will print out the number of defects given in the READ DEFECT DATA header
672 returned from the drive.
673 Some drives will report 0 defects if neither the primary or grown defect
676 Allows the user to display and optionally edit a SCSI mode page.
678 page formats are located in
679 .Pa /usr/share/misc/scsi_modes .
680 This can be overridden by specifying a different file in the
682 environment variable.
685 command takes several arguments:
688 Disable block descriptors for mode sense.
690 Displays mode page data in binary format.
692 This flag allows the user to edit values in the mode page.
694 either edit mode page values with the text editor pointed to by his
696 environment variable, or supply mode page values via standard input, using
699 uses to display mode page values.
700 The editor will be invoked if
702 detects that standard input is terminal.
704 Lists all available mode pages.
705 .It Fl m Ar mode_page
706 This specifies the number of the mode page the user would like to view
708 This argument is mandatory unless
712 This allows the user to specify the page control field.
714 .Bl -tag -width xxx -compact
726 Allows the user to send an arbitrary ATA or SCSI CDB to any device.
729 function requires the
731 argument to specify SCSI CDB or the
733 argument to specify ATA Command Block registers values.
734 Other arguments are optional, depending on
736 The command and data specification syntax is documented
739 NOTE: If the CDB specified causes data to be transferred to or from the
740 SCSI device in question, you MUST specify either
745 .It Fl a Ar cmd Op args
746 This specifies the content of 12 ATA Command Block registers (command,
747 features, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp.
748 lba_high_exp, features_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp).

756 .It Fl i Ar len Ar fmt
757 This specifies the amount of data to read, and how it should be displayed.
761 bytes of data will be read from the device and written to standard output.
762 .It Fl o Ar len Ar fmt Op args
763 This specifies the amount of data to be written to a device, and the data
764 that is to be written.
768 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written to the device.
770 This specifies that 11 result ATA Command Block registers should be displayed
771 (status, error, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp,
772 lba_high_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp), and how.
775 11 result registers will be written to standard output in hex.
778 Allows the user to send an arbitrary Serial
779 Management Protocol (SMP) command to a device.
782 function requires the
784 argument to specify the SMP request to be sent, and the
786 argument to specify the format of the SMP response.
787 The syntax for the SMP request and response arguments is documented in
790 Note that SAS adapters that support SMP passthrough (at least the currently
791 known adapters) do not accept CRC bytes from the user in the request and do
792 not pass CRC bytes back to the user in the response.
793 Therefore users should not include the CRC bytes in the length of the
794 request and not expect CRC bytes to be returned in the response.
796 .It Fl r Ar len Ar fmt Op args
797 This specifies the size of the SMP request, without the CRC bytes, and the
802 bytes of data will be read from standard input and written as the SMP
804 .It Fl R Ar len Ar fmt Op args
805 This specifies the size of the buffer allocated for the SMP response, and
806 the SMP response format.
810 bytes of data will be allocated for the response and the response will be
811 written to standard output.
814 Allows the user to send the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) Report General
817 will display the data returned by the Report General command.
818 If the SMP target supports the long response format, the additional data
819 will be requested and displayed automatically.
822 Request the long response format only.
823 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
826 to skip sending the initial report general request without the long bit set
827 and only issue a report general request with the long bit set.
830 Allows the user to issue the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) PHY Control
832 This function should be used with some caution, as it can render devices
833 inaccessible, and could potentially cause data corruption as well.
836 argument is required to specify the PHY to operate on.
839 Specify the PHY to operate on.
840 This argument is required.
842 Request the long request/response format.
843 Not all SMP targets support the long response format.
844 For the PHY Control command, this currently only affects whether the
845 request length is set to a value other than 0.
846 .It Fl o Ar operation
847 Specify a PHY control operation.
850 operation may be specified.
851 The operation may be specified numerically (in decimal, hexadecimal, or octal)
852 or one of the following operation names may be specified:
856 It is not necessary to specify this argument.
858 Send the LINK RESET command to the phy.
860 Send the HARD RESET command to the phy.
862 Send the DISABLE command to the phy.
863 Note that the LINK RESET or HARD RESET commands should re-enable the phy.
865 Send the CLEAR ERROR LOG command.
866 This clears the error log counters for the specified phy.
868 Send the CLEAR AFFILIATION command.
869 This clears the affiliation from the STP initiator port with the same SAS
870 address as the SMP initiator that requests the clear operation.
872 Send the TRANSMIT SATA PORT SELECTION SIGNAL command to the phy.
873 This will cause a SATA port selector to use the given phy as its active phy
874 and make the other phy inactive.
876 Send the CLEAR STP I_T NEXUS LOSS command to the PHY.
878 Send the SET ATTACHED DEVICE NAME command to the PHY.

950 Turn on CAM debugging printfs in the kernel.
951 This requires options CAMDEBUG
952 in your kernel config file.
953 WARNING: enabling debugging printfs currently
954 causes an EXTREME number of kernel printfs.
955 You may have difficulty
956 turning off the debugging printfs once they start, since the kernel will be
957 busy printing messages and unable to service other requests quickly.
960 function takes a number of arguments:
963 Enable CAM_DEBUG_INFO printfs.
965 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PERIPH printfs.
967 Enable CAM_DEBUG_TRACE printfs.
969 Enable CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE printfs.
971 Enable CAM_DEBUG_XPT printfs.
973 Enable CAM_DEBUG_CDB printfs.
974 This will cause the kernel to print out the
975 SCSI CDBs sent to the specified device(s).
977 Enable CAM_DEBUG_PROBE printfs.
979 Enable debugging for all devices.
981 Turn off debugging for all devices
982 .It bus Ns Op :target Ns Op :lun
983 Turn on debugging for the given bus, target or lun.
985 and lun are not specified, they are wildcarded.
986 (i.e., just specifying a
987 bus turns on debugging printfs for all devices on that bus.)
990 Show or set the number of "tagged openings" or simultaneous transactions
991 we attempt to queue to a particular device.
994 command, with no command-specific arguments (i.e., only generic arguments)
995 prints out the "soft" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to
996 the device in question.
997 For more detailed information, use the
999 argument described below.
1002 Set the number of tags for the given device.
1003 This must be between the
1004 minimum and maximum number set in the kernel quirk table.
1006 most devices that support tagged queueing is a minimum of 2 and a maximum
1008 The minimum and maximum values for a given device may be
1009 determined by using the
1016 subcommand is described below.
1018 Be quiet, and do not report the number of tags.
1019 This is generally used when
1020 setting the number of tags.
1022 The verbose flag has special functionality for the
1027 to print out the tagged queueing related fields of the XPT_GDEV_TYPE CCB:
1030 This is the amount of capacity for transactions queued to a given device.
1032 This is the number of transactions currently queued to a device.
1034 This is the kernel queue space for transactions.
1035 This count usually mirrors
1036 dev_openings except during error recovery operations when
1037 the device queue is frozen (device is not allowed to receive
1038 commands), the number of dev_openings is reduced, or transaction
1039 replay is occurring.
1041 This is the number of transactions waiting in the kernel queue for capacity
1043 This number is usually zero unless error recovery is in
1046 The held count is the number of CCBs held by peripheral drivers that have
1047 either just been completed or are about to be released to the transport
1048 layer for service by a device.
1049 Held CCBs reserve capacity on a given
1052 This is the current "hard" minimum number of transactions that can be
1053 queued to a device at once.
1056 value above cannot go below this number.
1057 The default value for
1059 is 2, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1061 This is the "hard" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to a
1065 value cannot go above this number.
1066 The default value for
1068 is 255, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
1072 Show or negotiate various communication parameters.
1073 Some controllers may
1074 not support setting or changing some of these values.
1076 Adaptec 174x controllers do not support changing a device's sync rate or
1081 will not attempt to set the parameter if the controller indicates that it
1082 does not support setting the parameter.
1083 To find out what the controller
1091 command is described below.
1092 Also, some controller drivers do not support
1093 setting negotiation parameters, even if the underlying controller supports
1094 negotiation changes.
1095 Some controllers, such as the Advansys wide
1096 controllers, support enabling and disabling synchronous negotiation for
1097 a device, but do not support setting the synchronous negotiation rate.
1100 Attempt to make the negotiation settings take effect immediately by sending
1101 a Test Unit Ready command to the device.
1103 Show or set current negotiation settings.
1104 This is the default.
1105 .It Fl D Ar enable|disable
1106 Enable or disable disconnection.
1110 Set the command delay offset.
1112 Be quiet, do not print anything.
1113 This is generally useful when you want to
1114 set a parameter, but do not want any status information.
1115 .It Fl R Ar syncrate
1116 Change the synchronization rate for a device.
1117 The sync rate is a floating
1118 point value specified in MHz.
1121 is a legal value, as is
1123 .It Fl T Ar enable|disable
1124 Enable or disable tagged queueing for a device.
1126 Show or set user negotiation settings.
1127 The default is to show or set
1128 current negotiation settings.
1130 The verbose switch has special meaning for the
1135 to print out the contents of a Path Inquiry (XPT_PATH_INQ) CCB sent to the
1137 .It Fl W Ar bus_width
1138 Specify the bus width to negotiate with a device.
1141 The only useful values to specify are 8, 16, and 32
1143 The controller must support the bus width in question in order for
1144 the setting to take effect.
1147 In general, sync rate and offset settings will not take effect for a
1148 device until a command has been sent to the device.
1151 switch above will automatically send a Test Unit Ready to the device so
1152 negotiation parameters will take effect.
1156 FORMAT UNIT command to the named device.
1158 .Em WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
1160 Low level formatting a disk will destroy ALL data on the disk.
1162 extreme caution when issuing this command.
1163 Many users low-level format
1164 disks that do not really need to be low-level formatted.
1166 relatively few scenarios that call for low-level formatting a disk.
1168 low-level formatting a disk is to initialize the disk after changing
1169 its physical sector size.
1170 Another reason for low-level formatting a disk
1171 is to revive the disk if you are getting "medium format corrupted" errors
1172 from the disk in response to read and write requests.
1174 Some disks take longer than others to format.
1175 Users should specify a
1176 timeout long enough to allow the format to complete.
1178 timeout is 3 hours, which should be long enough for most disks.
1180 disks will complete a format operation in a very short period of time
1181 (on the order of 5 minutes or less).
1182 This is often because the drive

2137 This allows managing devices that conform to the
2139 Zoned Block Commands (ZBC) and
2141 Zoned ATA Command Set (ZAC)
2143 Devices using these command sets are usually hard drives using Shingled
2144 Magnetic Recording (SMR).
2145 There are three types of SMR drives:
2148 Drive Managed drives look and act just like a standard random access block
2149 device, but underneath, the drive reads and writes the bulk of its capacity
2151 Sequential writes will yield better performance, but writing sequentially
2154 Host Aware drives expose the underlying zone layout via
2158 commands and allow the host to manage the zone conditions.
2159 The host is not required to manage the zones on the drive, though.
2160 Sequential writes will yield better performance in Sequential Write
2161 Preferred zones, but the host can write randomly in those zones.
2163 Host Managed drives expose the underlying zone layout via
2168 The host is required to access the zones according to the rules described
2170 Any commands that violate the rules will be returned with an error.
2173 SMR drives are divided into zones (typically in the range of 256MB each)
2174 that fall into three general categories:
2177 These are also known as Non Write Pointer zones.
2178 These zones can be randomly written without an unexpected performance penalty.
2179 .It Sequential Preferred
2180 These zones should be written sequentially starting at the write pointer
2182 They may be written randomly.
2183 Writes that do not conform to the zone layout may be significantly slower

2186 These zones must be written sequentially.

2217 For the Open, Close, Finish, and Reset Write Pointer operations, apply the
2218 operation to all zones on the drive.
2220 Specify the starting LBA.
2221 For the Report Zones command, this tells the drive to report starting with
2222 the zone that starts at the given LBA.
2223 For the other commands, this allows the user to identify the zone requested
2224 by its starting LBA.
2225 The LBA may be specified in decimal, hexadecimal or octal notation.
2227 For the Report Zones command, specify a subset of zones to report.
2231 This is the default.
