206 utility is designed to provide a way to access and control the CAM Target
208 It provides a way to send
210 commands to the CTL layer, and also provides
211 some meta-commands that utilize
216 command is implemented using the
218 REPORT LUNS and INQUIRY commands.)
222 utility has a number of primary functions, many of which require a device
224 The device identifier takes the following form:
227 Specify the LUN number to operate on.
229 Many of the primary functions of the
231 utility take the following optional arguments:
234 Specify the number of times to retry a command in the event of failure.
236 Specify the device to open.
237 This allows opening a device other than the default device,
239 to be opened for sending commands.
241 Specify the initiator number to use.
244 will use 7 as the initiator number.
252 TEST UNIT READY command to the device and report whether or not it is
257 INQUIRY command to the device and display some of the returned inquiry
262 REQUEST SENSE command to the device and display the returned sense
267 REPORT LUNS command to the device and display supported LUNs.
271 READ command to the device, and write the requested data to a file or
275 Specify the starting Logical Block Address for the READ.
276 This can be specified in decimal, octal (starting with 0),
277 hexadecimal (starting with 0x) or any other base supported by
280 Specify the length, in 512 byte blocks, of the READ request.
282 Specify the destination for the data read by the READ command.
285 for stdout may be specified.
289 CDB (Command Data Block) size to be used for the READ request.
290 Allowable values are 6, 10, 12 and 16.
291 Depending upon the LBA and amount of data requested, a larger CDB
292 size may be used to satisfy the request. (e.g., for LBAs above 0xffffffff,
293 READ(16) must be used to satisfy the request.)
294 .It Fl b Ar blocksize
295 Specify the blocksize of the underlying
297 device, so the transfer length
298 can be calculated accurately.
299 The blocksize can be obtained via the
301 READ CAPACITY command.
305 from the kernel when doing a read, just execute the command without copying
307 This is to be used for performance testing.
310 Read data from a file or stdin, and write the data to the device using the
315 Specify the starting Logical Block Address for the WRITE.
316 This can be specified in decimal, octal (starting with 0), hexadecimal
317 (starting with 0x) or any other base supported by
320 Specify the length, in 512 byte blocks, of the WRITE request.
322 Specify the source for the data to be written by the WRITE command.
325 for stdin may be specified.
329 CDB (Command Data Block) size to be used for the READ request.
330 Allowable values are 6, 10, 12 and 16.
331 Depending upon the LBA and amount of data requested, a larger CDB size
332 may be used to satisfy the request. (e.g., for LBAs above 0xffffffff, READ(16)
333 must be used to satisfy the request.)
334 .It Fl b Ar blocksize
335 Specify the blocksize of the underlying
337 device, so the transfer length
338 can be calculated accurately.
339 The blocksize can be obtained via the
341 READ CAPACITY command.
345 to the kernel when doing a write, just execute the command without copying
347 This is to be used for performance testing.
352 READ CAPACITY command to the device and display the device size and device
354 By default, READ CAPACITY(10) is used.
355 If the device returns a maximum LBA of 0xffffffff, however,
357 will automatically issue a READ CAPACITY(16), which is implemented as a
358 service action of the SERVICE ACTION IN(16) opcode.
359 The user can specify the minimum CDB size with the
364 option are 10 and 16.
365 If a 10 byte CDB is specified, the request will be automatically reissued
366 with a 16 byte CDB if the maximum LBA returned is 0xffffffff.
370 MODE SENSE command to the device, and display the requested mode page(s) or
374 Specify the mode page to display.
377 option are mutually exclusive.
378 One of the two must be specified, though.
379 Mode page numbers may be specified in decimal or hexadecimal.
381 Request that the list of mode pages supported by the device be returned.
384 option are mutually exclusive.
385 One of the two must be specified, though.
387 Specify the mode page control value.
389 .Bl -tag -width 2n -compact
393 Changeable value bitmask.
400 Disable block descriptors when sending the mode sense request.
402 Specify the subpage used with the mode sense request.
404 Specify the CDB size used for the mode sense request.
405 Supported values are 6 and 10.
410 START STOP UNIT command to the specified LUN with the start
414 Set the immediate bit in the CDB.
415 Note that CTL does not support the immediate bit, so this is primarily
416 useful for making sure that CTL returns the proper error.
421 START STOP UNIT command to the specified LUN with the start
423 We use an ordered tag to stop the LUN, so we can guarantee that all pending
424 I/O executes before it is stopped.
425 (CTL guarantees this anyway, but
427 sends an ordered tag for completeness.)
430 Set the immediate bit in the CDB.
431 Note that CTL does not support the immediate bit, so this is primarily
432 useful for making sure that CTL returns the proper error.
437 SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command to the device.
438 By default, SYNCHRONIZE CACHE(10) is used.
439 If the specified starting LBA is greater than 0xffffffff or the length is
440 greater than 0xffff, though, SYNCHRONIZE CACHE(16) will be used.
441 The 16 byte command will also be used if the user specifies a 16 byte CDB with the
446 Specify the starting LBA of the cache region to synchronize.
447 This option is a no-op for CTL.
448 If you send a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command, it will sync the cache for the entire LUN.
449 .It Fl b Ar blockcount
450 Specify the length of the cache region to synchronize.
451 This option is a no-op for CTL.
452 If you send a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command, it will sync the cache for the entire LUN.
454 Specify relative addressing for the starting LBA.
455 CTL does not support relative addressing, since it only works for linked commands,
456 and CTL does not support linked commands.
458 Tell the target to return status immediately after issuing the SYNCHRONIZE CACHE
459 command rather than waiting for the cache to finish syncing.
460 CTL does not support this bit.
462 Specify the minimum CDB size.
463 Valid values are 10 and 16 bytes.
466 List all LUNs registered with CTL.
467 Because this command uses the ioctl port, it will only work when the FETDs
468 (Front End Target Drivers) are enabled.
469 This command is the equivalent of doing a REPORT LUNS on one LUN and then
470 an INQUIRY on each LUN in the system.
472 Delay commands at the given location.
473 There are two places where commands may be delayed currently: before data is transferred
475 and just prior to sending status to the host
477 One of the two must be supplied as an argument to the
482 option must also be specified.
485 Delay command(s) at the specified location.
486 This can either be at the data movement stage (datamove) or prior to
487 command completion (done).
488 .It Fl t Ar delaytime
489 Delay command(s) for the specified number of seconds.
490 This must be specified.
491 If set to 0, it will clear out any previously set delay for this particular
492 location (datamove or done).
493 .It Fl T Ar delaytype
494 Specify the delay type.
497 option will delay the next command sent to the given LUN.
500 option, every command will be delayed by the specified period of time.
503 the next command sent to the given LUN will be delayed and all subsequent
504 commands will be completed normally.
508 Inject the specified type of error for the LUN specified, when a command
509 that matches the given pattern is seen.
510 The sense data returned is in either fixed or descriptor format, depending
511 upon the status of the D_SENSE bit in the control mode page (page 0xa) for
514 Errors are only injected for commands that have not already failed for
516 By default, only the first command matching the pattern specified is
517 returned with the supplied error.
521 flag is specified, all commands matching the pattern will be returned with
522 the specified error until the error injection command is deleted with
527 Specify the error to return:
530 Return the next matching command on the specified LUN with the sense key

539 Return the next matching command on the specified LUN with the sense key
540 UNIT ATTENTION (0x06) and the ASC/ASCQ 0x29,0x00 ("POWER ON, RESET, OR BUS
541 DEVICE RESET OCCURRED").
543 Return the next matching command on the specified LUN with the supplied
547 argument must be specified.
550 Specify which commands should be returned with the given error.
553 The error should apply to READ(6), READ(10), READ(12), READ(16), etc.
555 The error should apply to WRITE(6), WRITE(10), WRITE(12), WRITE(16), WRITE
558 The error should apply to both read and write type commands.
560 The error should apply to READ CAPACITY(10) and READ CAPACITY(16) commands.
562 The error should apply to TEST UNIT READY commands.
564 The error should apply to any command.
567 Specify the starting lba and length of the range of LBAs which should
569 This option is only applies when read and/or write patterns are specified.
570 If used with other command types, the error will never be triggered.
571 .It Fl s Ar len fmt Op Ar args
572 Specify the sense data that is to be returned for custom actions.
575 len bytes of sense data will be read from standard input and written to the
577 If len is longer than 252 bytes (the maximum allowable
579 sense data length), it will be truncated to that length.
580 The sense data format is described in
583 The error injection should be persistent, instead of happening once.
584 Persistent errors must be deleted with the
587 .It Fl d Ar delete_id

961 .It Va pool-used-threshold
962 Set per-LUN/-pool thin provisioning soft thresholds.
963 LUN will establish UNIT ATTENTION condition if its or pool available space
964 get below configured avail values, or its or pool used space get above
965 configured used values.
966 Pool thresholds are working only for ZVOL-backed LUNs.
968 Set to "off", disables write caching for the LUN, if supported by the backend.
971 Options specific for block backend:
974 Specifies file or device name to use for backing store.
976 Specifies number of backend threads to use for this LUN.
979 Options specific for ramdisk backend:
982 Specifies capacity of backing store (maximum RAM for data).
983 The default value is zero, that disables backing store completely,
984 making all writes go to nowhere, while all reads return zeroes.
