The camcontrol utility can cause a loss of data and/or system crashes if used improperly. Even expert users are encouraged to exercise cau- tion when using this command. Novice users should stay away from this utility. The camcontrol utility has a number of primary functions, many of which support an optional device identifier. A device identifier can take one of three forms: deviceUNIT Specify a device name and unit number combination, like "da5" or "cd3". bus:target Specify a bus number and target id. The bus number can be determined from the output of "camcontrol devlist". The lun defaults to 0. bus:target:lun Specify the bus, target and lun for a device. (e.g. 1:2:0) The device identifier, if it is specified, must come immediately after the function name, and before any generic or function-specific argu- ments. Note that the -n and -u arguments described below will override any device name or unit number specified beforehand. The -n and -u ar- guments will not override a specified bus:target or bus:target:lun, however. Most of the camcontrol primary functions support these generic argu- ments: -C count SCSI command retry count. In order for this to work, error recovery (-E) must be turned on. -E Instruct the kernel to perform generic SCSI error re- covery for the given command. This is needed in order for the retry count (-C) to be honored. Other than retrying commands, the generic error recovery in the code will generally attempt to spin up drives that are not spinning. It may take some other actions, depend- ing upon the sense code returned from the command. -n dev_name Specify the device type to operate on, e.g. "da", "cd". -t timeout SCSI command timeout in seconds. This overrides the default timeout for any given command. -u unit_number Specify the device unit number, e.g. "1", "5". -v Be verbose, print out sense information for failed SCSI commands. Primary command functions: devlist List all physical devices (logical units) attached to the CAM subsystem. This also includes a list of peripheral drivers attached to each device. With the -v argument, SCSI bus number, adapter name and unit numbers are printed as well. periphlist List all peripheral drivers attached to a given physical device (logical unit). tur Send the SCSI test unit ready (0x00) command to the given device. The camcontrol utility will report whether the de- vice is ready or not. inquiry Send a SCSI inquiry command (0x12) to a device. By de- fault, camcontrol will print out the standard inquiry data, device serial number, and transfer rate information. The user can specify that only certain types of inquiry data be printed: -D Get the standard inquiry data. -S Print out the serial number. If this flag is the only one specified, camcontrol will not print out "Serial Number" before the value returned by the drive. This is to aid in script writing. -R Print out transfer rate information. identify Send a ATA identify command (0xec) to a device. reportluns Send the SCSI REPORT LUNS (0xA0) command to the given de- vice. By default, camcontrol will print out the list of logical units (LUNs) supported by the target device. There are a couple of options to modify the output: -c Just print out a count of LUNs, not the ac- tual LUN numbers. -l Just print out the LUNs, and don't print out the count. -r reporttype Specify the type of report to request from the target: default Return the default report. This is the camcontrol default. Most targets will support this report if they support the REPORT LUNS command. wellknown Return only well known LUNs. all Return all available LUNs. camcontrol will try to print out LUN numbers in a reason- able format. It can understand the peripheral, flat, LUN and extended LUN formats. readcap Send the SCSI READ CAPACITY command to the given device and display the results. If the device is larger than 2TB, the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service action will be sent to ob- tain the full size of the device. By default, camcontrol will print out the last logical block of the device, and the blocksize of the device in bytes. To modify the output format, use the following options: -b Just print out the blocksize, not the last block or device size. This cannot be used with -N or -s. -h Print out the device size in human readable (base 2, 1K == 1024) format. This implies -N and cannot be used with -q or -b. -H Print out the device size in human readable (base 10, 1K == 1000) format. -N Print out the number of blocks in the device instead of the last logical block. -q Quiet, print out the numbers only (separated by a comma if -b or -s are not specified). -s Print out the last logical block or the size of the device only, and omit the blocksize. start Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the start bit set. stop Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the start bit cleared. load Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the start bit set and the load/eject bit set. eject Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the start bit cleared and the load/eject bit set. rescan Tell the kernel to scan all busses in the system (with the all argument), the given bus (XPT_SCAN_BUS), or bus:tar- get:lun (XPT_SCAN_LUN) for new devices or devices that have gone away. The user may specify a scan of all busses, a single bus, or a lun. Scanning all luns on a target is not supported. reset Tell the kernel to reset all busses in the system (with the all argument) or the given bus (XPT_RESET_BUS) by issuing a SCSI bus reset for that bus, or to reset the given bus:tar- get:lun (XPT_RESET_DEV), typically by issuing a BUS DEVICE RESET message after connecting to that device. Note that this can have a destructive impact on the system. defects Send the SCSI READ DEFECT DATA (10) command (0x37) to the given device, and print out any combination of: the total number of defects, the primary defect list (PLIST), and the grown defect list (GLIST). -f format The three format options are: block, to print out the list as logical blocks, bfi, to print out the list in bytes from index format, and phys, to print out the list in physical sector format. The format argument is required. Most drives support the physical sector for- mat. Some drives support the logical block format. Many drives, if they do not support the requested format, return the data in an alternate format, along with sense information indicating that the requested data format is not supported. The camcontrol utility at- tempts to detect this, and print out whatever format the drive returns. If the drive uses a non-standard sense code to report that it does not support the requested format, camcontrol will probably see the error as a failure to complete the request. -G Print out the grown defect list. This is a list of bad blocks that have been remapped since the disk left the factory. -P Print out the primary defect list. If neither -P nor -G is specified, camcontrol will print out the number of defects given in the READ DEFECT DATA header returned from the drive. Some drives will report 0 defects if neither the primary or grown defect lists are requested. modepage Allows the user to display and optionally edit a SCSI mode page. The mode page formats are located in /usr/share/misc/scsi_modes. This can be overridden by specifying a different file in the SCSI_MODES environment variable. The modepage command takes several arguments: -d Disable block descriptors for mode sense. -b Displays mode page data in binary format. -e This flag allows the user to edit values in the mode page. The user may either edit mode page values with the text editor pointed to by his EDITOR environment variable, or supply mode page values via standard input, using the same format that camcontrol uses to dis- play mode page values. The editor will be invoked if camcontrol detects that standard input is terminal. -l Lists all available mode pages. -m mode_page This specifies the number of the mode page the user would like to view and/or edit. This argument is mandatory unless -l is spec- ified. -P pgctl This allows the user to specify the page con- trol field. Possible values are: 0 Current values 1 Changeable values 2 Default values 3 Saved values cmd Allows the user to send an arbitrary ATA or SCSI CDB to any device. The cmd function requires the -c argument to spec- ify SCSI CDB or the -a argument to specify ATA Command Block registers values. Other arguments are optional, de- pending on the command type. The command and data specifi- cation syntax is documented in cam_cdbparse(3). NOTE: If the CDB specified causes data to be transferred to or from the SCSI device in question, you MUST specify either -i or -o. -a cmd [args] This specifies the content of 12 ATA Command Block registers (command, fea- tures, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, de- vice, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp. lba_high_exp, features_exp, sec- tor_count, sector_count_exp). -c cmd [args] This specifies the SCSI CDB. SCSI CDBs may be 6, 10, 12 or 16 bytes. -d Specifies DMA protocol to be used for ATA command. -f Specifies FPDMA (NCQ) protocol to be used for ATA command. -i len fmt This specifies the amount of data to read, and how it should be displayed. If the format is `-', len bytes of data will be read from the device and written to standard output. -o len fmt [args] This specifies the amount of data to be written to a device, and the data that is to be written. If the format is `-', len bytes of data will be read from standard input and written to the de- vice. -r fmt This specifies that 11 result ATA Com- mand Block registers should be displayed (status, error, lba_low, lba_mid, lba_high, device, lba_low_exp, lba_mid_exp, lba_high_exp, sector_count, sector_count_exp), and how. If the for- mat is `-', 11 result registers will be written to standard output in hex. smpcmd Allows the user to send an arbitrary Serial Management Pro- tocol (SMP) command to a device. The smpcmd function re- quires the -r argument to specify the SMP request to be sent, and the -R argument to specify the format of the SMP response. The syntax for the SMP request and response ar- guments is documented in cam_cdbparse(3). Note that SAS adapters that support SMP passthrough (at least the currently known adapters) do not accept CRC bytes from the user in the request and do not pass CRC bytes back to the user in the response. Therefore users should not include the CRC bytes in the length of the request and not expect CRC bytes to be returned in the response. -r len fmt [args] This specifies the size of the SMP re- quest, without the CRC bytes, and the SMP request format. If the format is `-', len bytes of data will be read from standard input and written as the SMP request. -R len fmt [args] This specifies the size of the buffer allocated for the SMP response, and the SMP response format. If the format is `-', len bytes of data will be allocated for the response and the response will be written to standard output. smprg Allows the user to send the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) Report General command to a device. camcontrol will display the data returned by the Report General command. If the SMP target supports the long response format, the additional data will be requested and displayed automati- cally. -l Request the long response format only. Not all SMP targets support the long response format. This option causes camcontrol to skip sending the initial report general request without the long bit set and only issue a report general request with the long bit set. smppc Allows the user to issue the Serial Management Protocol (SMP) PHY Control command to a device. This function should be used with some caution, as it can render devices inaccessible, and could potentially cause data corruption as well. The -p argument is required to specify the PHY to operate on. -p phy Specify the PHY to operate on. This ar- gument is required. -l Request the long request/response for- mat. Not all SMP targets support the long response format. For the PHY Con- trol command, this currently only af- fects whether the request length is set to a value other than 0. -o operation Specify a PHY control operation. Only one -o operation may be specified. The operation may be specified numerically (in decimal, hexadecimal, or octal) or one of the following operation names may be specified: nop No operation. It is not necessary to spec- ify this argument. linkreset Send the LINK RESET command to the phy. hardreset Send the HARD RESET command to the phy. disable Send the DISABLE com- mand to the phy. Note that the LINK RESET or HARD RESET commands should re-enable the phy. clearerrlog Send the CLEAR ERROR LOG command. This clears the error log counters for the spec- ified phy. clearaffiliation Send the CLEAR AFFILI- ATION command. This clears the affiliation from the STP initiator port with the same SAS address as the SMP initiator that re- quests the clear oper- ation. sataportsel Send the TRANSMIT SATA PORT SELECTION SIGNAL command to the phy. This will cause a SATA port selector to use the given phy as its active phy and make the other phy inac- tive. clearitnl Send the CLEAR STP I_T NEXUS LOSS command to the PHY. setdevname Send the SET ATTACHED DEVICE NAME command to the PHY. This re- quires the -d argument to specify the device name. -d name Specify the attached device name. This option is needed with the -o setdevname phy operation. The name is a 64-bit number, and can be specified in decimal, hexadecimal or octal format. -m rate Set the minimum physical link rate for the phy. This is a numeric argument. Currently known link rates are: 0x0 Do not change current value. 0x8 1.5 Gbps 0x9 3 Gbps 0xa 6 Gbps Other values may be specified for newer physical link rates. -M rate Set the maximum physical link rate for the phy. This is a numeric argument. See the -m argument description for known link rate arguments. -T pp_timeout Set the partial pathway timeout value, in microseconds. See the ANSI SAS Prot- col Layer (SPL) specification for more information on this field. -a enable|disable Enable or disable SATA slumber phy power conditions. -A enable|disable Enable or disable SATA partial power conditions. -s enable|disable Enable or disable SAS slumber phy power conditions. -S enable|disable Enable or disable SAS partial phy power conditions. smpphylist List phys attached to a SAS expander, the address of the end device attached to the phy, and the inquiry data for that device and peripheral devices attached to that device. The inquiry data and peripheral devices are displayed if available. -l Turn on the long response format for the underlying SMP commands used for this command. -q Only print out phys that are attached to a device in the CAM EDT (Existing Device Table). smpmaninfo Send the SMP Report Manufacturer Information command to the device and display the response. -l Turn on the long response format for the underlying SMP commands used for this command. debug Turn on CAM debugging printfs in the kernel. This requires options CAMDEBUG in your kernel config file. WARNING: en- abling debugging printfs currently causes an EXTREME number of kernel printfs. You may have difficulty turning off the debugging printfs once they start, since the kernel will be busy printing messages and unable to service other requests quickly. The debug function takes a number of arguments: -I Enable CAM_DEBUG_INFO printfs. -P Enable CAM_DEBUG_PERIPH printfs. -T Enable CAM_DEBUG_TRACE printfs. -S Enable CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE printfs. -X Enable CAM_DEBUG_XPT printfs. -c Enable CAM_DEBUG_CDB printfs. This will cause the kernel to print out the SCSI CDBs sent to the specified de- vice(s). -p Enable CAM_DEBUG_PROBE printfs. all Enable debugging for all devices. off Turn off debugging for all devices bus[:target[:lun]] Turn on debugging for the given bus, target or lun. If the lun or target and lun are not specified, they are wildcarded. (i.e., just specifying a bus turns on debugging printfs for all devices on that bus.) tags Show or set the number of "tagged openings" or simultaneous transactions we attempt to queue to a particular device. By default, the tags command, with no command-specific ar- guments (i.e., only generic arguments) prints out the "soft" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to the device in question. For more detailed information, use the -v argument described below. -N tags Set the number of tags for the given device. This must be between the minimum and maximum number set in the kernel quirk table. The default for most devices that support tagged queueing is a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 255. The minimum and maxi- mum values for a given device may be determined by using the -v switch. The meaning of the -v switch for this camcontrol subcommand is described below. -q Be quiet, and do not report the number of tags. This is generally used when setting the number of tags. -v The verbose flag has special functionality for the tags argument. It causes camcontrol to print out the tagged queueing related fields of the XPT_GDEV_TYPE CCB: dev_openings This is the amount of capacity for transactions queued to a given de- vice. dev_active This is the number of transactions currently queued to a device. devq_openings This is the kernel queue space for transactions. This count usually mirrors dev_openings except during error recovery operations when the device queue is frozen (device is not allowed to receive commands), the number of dev_openings is re- duced, or transaction replay is oc- curring. devq_queued This is the number of transactions waiting in the kernel queue for ca- pacity on the device. This number is usually zero unless error recov- ery is in progress. held The held count is the number of CCBs held by peripheral drivers that have either just been com- pleted or are about to be released to the transport layer for service by a device. Held CCBs reserve ca- pacity on a given device. mintags This is the current "hard" minimum number of transactions that can be queued to a device at once. The dev_openings value above cannot go below this number. The default value for mintags is 2, although it may be set higher or lower for var- ious devices. maxtags This is the "hard" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to a device at one time. The dev_openings value cannot go above this number. The default value for maxtags is 255, although it may be set higher or lower for various de- vices. negotiate Show or negotiate various communication parameters. Some controllers may not support setting or changing some of these values. For instance, the Adaptec 174x controllers do not support changing a device's sync rate or offset. The camcontrol utility will not attempt to set the parame- ter if the controller indicates that it does not support setting the parameter. To find out what the controller supports, use the -v flag. The meaning of the -v flag for the negotiate command is described below. Also, some con- troller drivers do not support setting negotiation parame- ters, even if the underlying controller supports negotia- tion changes. Some controllers, such as the Advansys wide controllers, support enabling and disabling synchronous ne- gotiation for a device, but do not support setting the syn- chronous negotiation rate. -a Attempt to make the negotiation settings take effect immediately by sending a Test Unit Ready command to the device. -c Show or set current negotiation set- tings. This is the default. -D enable|disable Enable or disable disconnection. -M mode Set ATA mode. -O offset Set the command delay offset. -q Be quiet, do not print anything. This is generally useful when you want to set a parameter, but do not want any status information. -R syncrate Change the synchronization rate for a device. The sync rate is a floating point value specified in MHz. So, for instance, `20.000' is a legal value, as is `20'. -T enable|disable Enable or disable tagged queueing for a device. -U Show or set user negotiation settings. The default is to show or set current negotiation settings. -v The verbose switch has special meaning for the negotiate subcommand. It causes camcontrol to print out the contents of a Path Inquiry (XPT_PATH_INQ) CCB sent to the controller driver. -W bus_width Specify the bus width to negotiate with a device. The bus width is specified in bits. The only useful values to specify are 8, 16, and 32 bits. The controller must support the bus width in question in order for the setting to take effect. In general, sync rate and offset settings will not take ef- fect for a device until a command has been sent to the de- vice. The -a switch above will automatically send a Test Unit Ready to the device so negotiation parameters will take effect. format Issue the SCSI FORMAT UNIT command to the named device. WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! Low level formatting a disk will destroy ALL data on the disk. Use extreme caution when issuing this command. Many users low-level format disks that do not really need to be low-level formatted. There are relatively few scenarios that call for low-level formatting a disk. One reason for low-level formatting a disk is to initialize the disk after changing its physical sector size. Another reason for low- level formatting a disk is to revive the disk if you are getting "medium format corrupted" errors from the disk in response to read and write requests. Some disks take longer than others to format. Users should specify a timeout long enough to allow the format to com- plete. The default format timeout is 3 hours, which should be long enough for most disks. Some hard disks will com- plete a format operation in a very short period of time (on the order of 5 minutes or less). This is often because the drive does not really support the FORMAT UNIT command -- it just accepts the command, waits a few minutes and then re- turns it. The `format' subcommand takes several arguments that modify its default behavior. The -q and -y arguments can be use- ful for scripts. -q Be quiet, do not print any status messages. This option will not disable the questions, however. To disable questions, use the -y argument, below. -r Run in "report only" mode. This will report status on a format that is already running on the drive. -w Issue a non-immediate format command. By default, camcontrol issues the FORMAT UNIT command with the immediate bit set. This tells the device to imme- diately return the format command, before the for- mat has actually completed. Then, camcontrol gath- ers SCSI sense information from the device every second to determine how far along in the format process it is. If the -w argument is specified, camcontrol will issue a non-immediate format com- mand, and will be unable to print any information to let the user know what percentage of the disk has been formatted. -y Do not ask any questions. By default, camcontrol will ask the user if he/she really wants to format the disk in question, and also if the default for- mat command timeout is acceptable. The user will not be asked about the timeout if a timeout is specified on the command line. idle Put ATA device into IDLE state. Optional parameter (-t) specifies automatic standby timer value in seconds. Value 0 disables timer. standby Put ATA device into STANDBY state. Optional parameter (-t) specifies automatic standby timer value in seconds. Value 0 disables timer. sleep Put ATA device into SLEEP state. Note that the only way get device out of this state may be reset. fwdownload Program firmware of the named SCSI device using the image file provided. Current list of supported vendors: • HITACHI • HP • IBM • PLEXTOR • QUANTUM • SEAGATE WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! Little testing has been done to make sure that different device models from each vendor work correctly with the fw- download command. A vendor name appearing in the supported list means only that firmware of at least one device type from that vendor has successfully been programmed with the fwdownload command. Extra caution should be taken when us- ing this command since there is no guarantee it will not break a device from the listed vendors. Ensure that you have a recent backup of the data on the device before per- forming a firmware update. -f fw_image Path to the firmware image file to be down- loaded to the specified device. -y Do not ask for confirmation. -s Run in simulation mode. Packet sizes that will be sent are shown, but no actual packet is sent to the device. No confimation is asked in simulation mode. -v Besides showing sense information in case of a failure, the verbose option causes camcontrol to output a line for every firmware segment that is sent to the device by the fwdownload command -- the same as the ones shown in simu- lation mode. help Print out verbose usage information. ENVIRONMENT The SCSI_MODES variable allows the user to specify an alternate mode page format file. The EDITOR variable determines which text editor camcontrol starts when editing mode pages. FILES /usr/share/misc/scsi_modes is the SCSI mode format database. /dev/xpt0 is the transport layer device. /dev/pass* are the CAM application passthrough de- vices. EXAMPLES camcontrol eject -n cd -u 1 -v Eject the CD from cd1, and print SCSI sense information if the command fails. camcontrol tur da0 Send the SCSI test unit ready command to da0. The camcontrol utility will report whether the disk is ready, but will not display sense in- formation if the command fails since the -v switch was not specified. camcontrol tur da1 -E -C 4 -t 50 -v Send a test unit ready command to da1. Enable kernel error recovery. Specify a retry count of 4, and a timeout of 50 seconds. Enable sense printing (with the -v flag) if the command fails. Since error recovery is turned on, the disk will be spun up if it is not currently spinning. The camcontrol utility will report whether the disk is ready. camcontrol cmd -n cd -u 1 -v -c "3C 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0e 00" \ -i 0xe "s1 i3 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1" Issue a READ BUFFER command (0x3C) to cd1. Display the buffer size of cd1, and display the first 10 bytes from the cache on cd1. Display SCSI sense information if the command fails. camcontrol cmd -n cd -u 1 -v -c "3B 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0e 00" \ -o 14 "00 00 00 00 1 2 3 4 5 6 v v v v" 7 8 9 8 Issue a WRITE BUFFER (0x3B) command to cd1. Write out 10 bytes of data, not including the (reserved) 4 byte header. Print out sense in- formation if the command fails. Be very careful with this command, im- proper use may cause data corruption. camcontrol modepage da3 -m 1 -e -P 3 Edit mode page 1 (the Read-Write Error Recover page) for da3, and save the settings on the drive. Mode page 1 contains a disk drive's auto read and write reallocation settings, among other things. camcontrol rescan all Rescan all SCSI busses in the system for devices that have been added, removed or changed. camcontrol rescan 0 Rescan SCSI bus 0 for devices that have been added, removed or changed. camcontrol rescan 0:1:0 Rescan SCSI bus 0, target 1, lun 0 to see if it has been added, re- moved, or changed. camcontrol tags da5 -N 24 Set the number of concurrent transactions for da5 to 24. camcontrol negotiate -n da -u 4 -T disable Disable tagged queueing for da4. camcontrol negotiate -n da -u 3 -R 20.000 -O 15 -a Negotiate a sync rate of 20MHz and an offset of 15 with da3. Then send a Test Unit Ready command to make the settings take effect. camcontrol smpcmd ses0 -v -r 4 "40 0 00 0" -R 1020 "s9 i1" Send the SMP REPORT GENERAL command to ses0, and display the number of PHYs it contains. Display SMP errors if the command fails. SEE ALSO cam(3), cam_cdbparse(3), cam(4), pass(4), xpt(4) HISTORY The camcontrol utility first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0. The mode page editing code and arbitrary SCSI command code are based upon code in the old scsi(8) utility and scsi(3) library, written by Julian Elischer and Peter Dufault. The scsi(8) program first appeared in 386BSD 0.1.2.4, and first appeared in FreeBSD in FreeBSD 2.0.5. AUTHORS Kenneth Merry <ken@FreeBSD.org> BUGS The code that parses the generic command line arguments does not know that some of the subcommands take multiple arguments. So if, for in- stance, you tried something like this: camcontrol cmd -n da -u 1 -c "00 00 00 00 00 v" 0x00 -v The sense information from the test unit ready command would not get printed out, since the first getopt(3) call in camcontrol bails out when it sees the second argument to -c (0x00), above. Fixing this be- havior would take some gross code, or changes to the getopt(3) inter- face. The best way to circumvent this problem is to always make sure to specify generic camcontrol arguments before any command-specific ar- guments. FreeBSD 9.1 June 4, 2012 CAMCONTROL(8)
