It provides a way to send SCSI commands to the CTL layer, and also provides some meta-commands that utilize SCSI com- mands. (For instance, the lunlist command is implemented using the SCSI REPORT LUNS and INQUIRY commands.) The ctladm utility has a number of primary functions, many of which re- quire a device identifier. The device identifier takes the following form: lun Specify the LUN number to operate on. Many of the primary functions of the ctladm utility take the following optional arguments: -C retries Specify the number of times to retry a command in the event of failure. -D device Specify the device to open. This allows opening a device other than the default device, /dev/cam/ctl, to be opened for sending commands. -I id Specify the initiator number to use. By default, ctladm will use 7 as the initiator number. Primary commands: tur Send the SCSI TEST UNIT READY command to the device and re- port whether or not it is ready. inquiry Send the SCSI INQUIRY command to the device and display some of the returned inquiry data. reqsense Send the SCSI REQUEST SENSE command to the device and dis- play the returned sense information. reportluns Send the SCSI REPORT LUNS command to the device and display supported LUNs. read Send a SCSI READ command to the device, and write the re- quested data to a file or stdout. -l lba Specify the starting Logical Block Address for the READ. This can be specified in decimal, octal (starting with 0), hexadecimal (starting with 0x) or any other base supported by strtoull(3). -d datalen Specify the length, in 512 byte blocks, of the READ request. -f file Specify the destination for the data read by the READ command. Either a filename or `-' for stdout may be specified. -c cdbsize Specify the minimum SCSI CDB (Command Data Block) size to be used for the READ request. Allowable values are 6, 10, 12 and 16. De- pending upon the LBA and amount of data re- quested, a larger CDB size may be used to sat- isfy the request. (e.g., for LBAs above 0xffffffff, READ(16) must be used to satisfy the request.) -b blocksize Specify the blocksize of the underlying SCSI device, so the transfer length can be calcu- lated accurately. The blocksize can be ob- tained via the SCSI READ CAPACITY command. -N Do not copy data to ctladm from the kernel when doing a read, just execute the command without copying data. This is to be used for performance testing. write Read data from a file or stdin, and write the data to the device using the SCSI WRITE command. -l lba Specify the starting Logical Block Address for the WRITE. This can be specified in decimal, octal (starting with 0), hexadecimal (starting with 0x) or any other base supported by strtoull(3). -d atalen Specify the length, in 512 byte blocks, of the WRITE request. -f file Specify the source for the data to be written by the WRITE command. Either a filename or `-' for stdin may be specified. -c cdbsize Specify the minimum SCSI CDB (Command Data Block) size to be used for the READ request. Allowable values are 6, 10, 12 and 16. De- pending upon the LBA and amount of data re- quested, a larger CDB size may be used to sat- isfy the request. (e.g., for LBAs above 0xffffffff, READ(16) must be used to satisfy the request.) -b blocksize Specify the blocksize of the underlying SCSI device, so the transfer length can be calcu- lated accurately. The blocksize can be ob- tained via the SCSI READ CAPACITY command. -N Do not copy data to ctladm to the kernel when doing a write, just execute the command with- out copying data. This is to be used for per- formance testing. readcap Send the SCSI READ CAPACITY command to the device and dis- play the device size and device block size. By default, READ CAPACITY(10) is used. If the device returns a maximum LBA of 0xffffffff, however, ctladm will automatically issue a READ CAPACITY(16), which is implemented as a service ac- tion of the SERVICE ACTION IN(16) opcode. The user can specify the minimum CDB size with the -c argument. Valid values for the -c option are 10 and 16. If a 10 byte CDB is specified, the request will be automatically reissued with a 16 byte CDB if the maximum LBA returned is 0xffffffff. modesense Send a SCSI MODE SENSE command to the device, and display the requested mode page(s) or page list. -m page Specify the mode page to display. This option and the -l option are mutually exclusive. One of the two must be specified, though. Mode page numbers may be specified in decimal or hexadeci- mal. -l Request that the list of mode pages supported by the device be returned. This option and the -m option are mutually exclusive. One of the two must be specified, though. -P pc Specify the mode page control value. Possible values are: 0 Current values. 1 Changeable value bitmask. 2 Default values. 3 Saved values. -d Disable block descriptors when sending the mode sense request. -S subpage Specify the subpage used with the mode sense re- quest. -c cdbsize Specify the CDB size used for the mode sense re- quest. Supported values are 6 and 10. start Send the SCSI START STOP UNIT command to the specified LUN with the start bit set. -i Set the immediate bit in the CDB. Note that CTL does not support the immediate bit, so this is primarily useful for making sure that CTL returns the proper er- ror. stop Send the SCSI START STOP UNIT command to the specified LUN with the start bit cleared. We use an ordered tag to stop the LUN, so we can guarantee that all pending I/O executes before it is stopped. (CTL guarantees this anyway, but ctladm sends an ordered tag for completeness.) -i Set the immediate bit in the CDB. Note that CTL does not support the immediate bit, so this is primarily useful for making sure that CTL returns the proper er- ror. synccache Send the SCSI SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command to the device. By default, SYNCHRONIZE CACHE(10) is used. If the specified starting LBA is greater than 0xffffffff or the length is greater than 0xffff, though, SYNCHRONIZE CACHE(16) will be used. The 16 byte command will also be used if the user specifies a 16 byte CDB with the -c argument. -l lba Specify the starting LBA of the cache region to synchronize. This option is a no-op for CTL. If you send a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE com- mand, it will sync the cache for the entire LUN. -b blockcount Specify the length of the cache region to synchronize. This option is a no-op for CTL. If you send a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE com- mand, it will sync the cache for the entire LUN. -r Specify relative addressing for the starting LBA. CTL does not support relative address- ing, since it only works for linked com- mands, and CTL does not support linked com- mands. -i Tell the target to return status immediately after issuing the SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command rather than waiting for the cache to finish syncing. CTL does not support this bit. -c cdbsize Specify the minimum CDB size. Valid values are 10 and 16 bytes. lunlist List all LUNs registered with CTL. Because this command uses the ioctl port, it will only work when the FETDs (Front End Target Drivers) are enabled. This command is the equiv- alent of doing a REPORT LUNS on one LUN and then an INQUIRY on each LUN in the system. delay Delay commands at the given location. There are two places where commands may be delayed currently: before data is transferred ("datamove") and just prior to sending status to the host ("done"). One of the two must be supplied as an argument to the -l option. The -t option must also be spec- ified. -l delayloc Delay command(s) at the specified location. This can either be at the data movement stage (datamove) or prior to command completion (done). -t delaytime Delay command(s) for the specified number of seconds. This must be specified. If set to 0, it will clear out any previously set delay for this particular location (datamove or done). -T delaytype Specify the delay type. By default, the delay option will delay the next command sent to the given LUN. With the -T cont option, every command will be delayed by the specified pe- riod of time. With the -T oneshot the next command sent to the given LUN will be delayed and all subsequent commands will be completed normally. This is the default. inject Inject the specified type of error for the LUN specified, when a command that matches the given pattern is seen. The sense data returned is in either fixed or descriptor format, depending upon the status of the D_SENSE bit in the control mode page (page 0xa) for the LUN. Errors are only injected for commands that have not already failed for other reasons. By default, only the first com- mand matching the pattern specified is returned with the supplied error. If the -c flag is specified, all commands matching the pat- tern will be returned with the specified error until the er- ror injection command is deleted with -d flag. -i action Specify the error to return: aborted Return the next matching com- mand on the specified LUN with the sense key ABORTED COMMAND (0x0b), and the ASC/ASCQ 0x45,0x00 ("Select or reselect failure"). mediumerr Return the next matching com- mand on the specified LUN with the sense key MEDIUM ER- ROR (0x03) and the ASC/ASCQ 0x11,0x00 ("Unrecovered read error") for reads, or ASC/ASCQ 0x0c,0x02 ("Write error - auto reallocation failed") for write errors. ua Return the next matching com- mand on the specified LUN with the sense key UNIT AT- TENTION (0x06) and the ASC/ASCQ 0x29,0x00 ("POWER ON, RESET, OR BUS DEVICE RE- SET OCCURRED"). custom Return the next matching com- mand on the specified LUN with the supplied sense data. The -s argument must be spec- ified. -p pattern Specify which commands should be returned with the given error. read The error should apply to READ(6), READ(10), READ(12), READ(16), etc. write The error should apply to WRITE(6), WRITE(10), WRITE(12), WRITE(16), WRITE AND VERIFY(10), etc. rw The error should apply to both read and write type com- mands. readcap The error should apply to READ CAPACITY(10) and READ CAPACITY(16) commands. tur The error should apply to TEST UNIT READY commands. any The error should apply to any command. -r lba,len Specify the starting lba and length of the range of LBAs which should trigger an error. This option is only applies when read and/or write patterns are specified. If used with other command types, the er- ror will never be triggered. -s len fmt [args] Specify the sense data that is to be re- turned for custom actions. If the format is `-', len bytes of sense data will be read from standard input and written to the sense buffer. If len is longer than 252 bytes (the maximum allowable SCSI sense data length), it will be truncated to that length. The sense data format is described in cam_cdbparse(3). -c The error injection should be persistent, instead of happening once. Persistent errors must be deleted with the -d argu- ment. -d delete_id Delete the specified error injection se- rial number. The serial number is re- turned when the error is injected. port Perform one of several CTL frontend port operations. Either get a list of frontend ports (-l), turn one or more front- ends on or off (-o on|off), or set the World Wide Node Name (-w wwnn) or World Wide Port Name (-W wwpn) for a given port. One of -l, -o, or -w or -W must be specified. The WWNN and WWPN may both be specified at the same time, but cannot be combined with enabling/disabling or listing ports. -c Create new frontend port using free pp and vp=0. -o on|off Turn the specified CTL frontend ports on or off. If no port number or port type is speci- fied, all ports are turned on or off. -O pp|vp Specify generic options on the ioctl frontend port. At present, only pp and vp port numbers can be set. -p targ_port Specify the frontend port number. The port numbers can be found in the frontend port list. -r Remove port specified with (-p targ_port). -t fe_type Specify the frontend type. Currently defined port types are "fc" (Fibre Channel), "scsi" (Parallel SCSI), "ioctl" (CTL ioctl inter- face), and "internal" (CTL CAM SIM). -w wwnn Set the World Wide Node Name for the given port. The -n argument must be specified, since this is only possible to implement on a single port. As a general rule, the WWNN should be the same across all ports on the system. -W wwpn Set the World Wide Port Name for the given port. The -n argument must be specified, since this is only possible to implement on a single port. As a general rule, the WWPN must be different for every port in the system. portlist List CTL frontend ports. -f frontend Specify the frontend type. -i Report target and connected initiators ad- dresses. -l Report LUN mapping. -p targ_port Specify the frontend port number. -q Omit the header in the port list output. -v Enable verbose output (report all port op- tions). -x Output the port list in XML format. lunmap Change LUN mapping for specified port. If both pLUN and cLUN are specified -- LUN will be mapped. If pLUN is speci- fied, but cLUN is not -- LUN will be unmapped. If neither pLUN nor cLUN are specified -- LUN mapping will be disabled, exposing all CTL LUNs. -p targ_port Specify the frontend port number. -l pLUN LUN number visible by specified port. -L cLUN CTL LUN number. dumpooa Dump the OOA (Order Of Arrival) queue for each LUN regis- tered with CTL. dumpstructs Dump the CTL structures to the console. create Create a new LUN. The backend must be specified, and de- pending upon the backend requested, some of the other op- tions may be required. If the LUN is created successfully, the LUN configuration will be displayed. If LUN creation fails, a message will be displayed describing the failure. -b backend The -b flag is required. This specifies the name backend to use when creating the LUN. Examples are "ramdisk" and "block". -B blocksize Specify the blocksize of the backend in bytes. -d device_id Specify the LUN-associated string to use in the SCSI INQUIRY VPD page 0x83 data. -l lun_id Request that a particular LUN number be as- signed. If the requested LUN number is not available, the request will fail. -o name=value Specify a backend-specific name/value pair. Multiple -o arguments may be specified. Re- fer to the backend documentation for argu- ments that may be used. -s size_bytes Specify the size of the LUN in bytes. Some backends may allow setting the size (e.g. the ramdisk backend) and for others the size may be implicit (e.g. the block backend). -S serial_num Specify the serial number to be used in the SCSI INQUIRY VPD page 0x80 data. -t device_type Specify the numeric SCSI device type to use when creating the LUN. If this flag is not used, the type of LUN created is backend- specific. Not all LUN types are supported. Currently CTL supports Direct Access (type 0), Processor (type 3) and CD/DVD (type 5) LUNs. The backend requested may or may not support all of the LUN types that CTL sup- ports. remove Remove a LUN. The backend must be specified, and the LUN number must also be specified. Backend-specific options may also be specified with the -o flag. -b backend Specify the backend that owns the LUN to be removed. Examples are "ramdisk" and "block". -l lun_id Specify the LUN number to remove. -o name=value Specify a backend-specific name/value pair. Multiple -o arguments may be specified. Re- fer to the backend documentation for argu- ments that may be used. modify Modify a LUN size. The backend, the LUN number, and the size must be specified. -b backend Specify the backend that owns the LUN to be modified. Examples are "ramdisk" and "block". -l lun_id Specify the LUN number to modify. -o name=value Specify a backend-specific name/value pair. Multiple -o arguments may be specified. Re- fer to the backend documentation for argu- ments that may be used. -s size_bytes Specify the size of the LUN in bytes. For the "block" backend, an "auto" keyword may be passed instead; this will make CTL use the size of backing file or device. devlist Get a list of all configured LUNs. This also includes the LUN size and blocksize, serial number and device ID. -b backend Specify the backend. This restricts the LUN list to the named backend. Examples are "ramdisk" and "block". -v Be verbose. This will also display any back- end-specific LUN attributes in addition to the standard per-LUN information. -x Dump the raw XML. The LUN list information from the kernel comes in XML format, and this option allows the display of the raw XML data. This option and the -v and -b options are mutu- ally exclusive. If you specify -x, the entire LUN database is displayed in XML format. islist Get a list of currently running iSCSI sessions. This in- cludes initiator and target names and the unique connection IDs. -v Verbose mode. -x Dump the raw XML. The sessions list informa- tion from the kernel comes in XML format, and this option allows the display of the raw XML data. islogout Ask the initiator to log out iSCSI sessions matching crite- ria. -a Log out all sessions. -c Specify connection ID. -i Specify initiator name. -p Specify initiator portal (hostname or IP ad- dress). isterminate Forcibly terminate iSCSI sessions matching criteria. -a Terminate all sessions. -c Specify connection ID. -i Specify initiator name. -p Specify initiator portal (hostname or IP ad- dress). help Display ctladm usage information. OPTIONS Number of additional configuration options may be specified for LUNs. Some options are global, others are backend-specific. Global options: vendor Specifies LUN vendor string up to 8 chars. product Specifies LUN product string up to 16 chars. revision Specifies LUN revision string up to 4 chars. scsiname Specifies LUN SCSI name string. eui Specifies LUN EUI-64 identifier. naa Specifies LUN NAA identifier. uuid Specifies LUN locally assigned RFC 4122 UUID identifier. EUI, NAA or UUID identifier should be set to UNIQUE value to allow EXTENDED COPY command access the LUN. Non-unique LUN identifiers may lead to data corruption. Some initia- tors may not support later introduced UUID identifiers. ident_info Specified LUN identification information (string or 0x + hex). text_ident_info Specified LUN text identification information (UTF-8 string). ha_role Setting to "primary" or "secondary" overrides default role of the node in HA cluster, set by kern.cam.ctl.ha_role sysctl. insecure_tpc Setting to "on" allows EXTENDED COPY command sent to this LUN access other LUNs on this host, not accessible other- wise. This allows to offload copying between different iSCSI targets residing on the same host in trusted environ- ments. readcache Set to "off", disables read caching for the LUN, if sup- ported by the backend. readonly Set to "on", blocks all media write operations to the LUN, reporting it as write protected. removable Set to "on", makes LUN removable. reordering Set to "unrestricted", allows target to process commands with SIMPLE task attribute in arbitrary order. Any data integrity exposures related to command sequence order shall be explicitly handled by the application client through the selection of appropriate commands and task attributes. The default value is "restricted". It improves data integrity, but may introduce some additional delays. serseq Set to "on" to serialize consecutive reads/writes. Set to "read" to serialize consecutive reads. Set to "off" to al- low them be issued in parallel. Parallel issue of consecu- tive operations may confuse logic of the backing file sys- tem, hurting performance; but it may improve performance of backing stores without prefetch/write-back. pblocksize pblockoffset Specify physical block size and offset of the device. ublocksize ublockoffset Specify UNMAP block size and offset of the device. rpm Specifies medium rotation rate of the device: 0 -- not re- ported, 1 -- non-rotating (SSD), >1024 -- value in revolu- tions per minute. formfactor Specifies nominal form factor of the device: 0 -- not re- ported, 1 -- 5.25", 2 -- 3.5", 3 -- 2.5", 4 -- 1.8", 5 -- less then 1.8". temperature reftemperature Specify current and reference (maximum) temperatures of the device. provisioning_type When UNMAP support is enabled, this option specifies provi- sioning type: "resource", "thin" or "unknown". Default value is "thin". Logical units without UNMAP support are reported as fully provisioned. unmap Setting to "on" or "off" controls UNMAP support for the logical unit. Default value is "on" if supported by the backend. unmap_max_lba unmap_max_descr Specify maximum allowed number of LBAs and block descrip- tors per UNMAP command to report in Block Limits VPD page. write_same_max_lba Specify maximum allowed number of LBAs per WRITE SAME com- mand to report in Block Limits VPD page. avail-threshold used-threshold pool-avail-threshold pool-used-threshold Set per-LUN/-pool thin provisioning soft thresholds. LUN will establish UNIT ATTENTION condition if its or pool available space get below configured avail values, or its or pool used space get above configured used values. Pool thresholds are working only for ZVOL-backed LUNs. writecache Set to "off", disables write caching for the LUN, if sup- ported by the backend. Options specific for block backend: file Specifies file or device name to use for backing store. num_threads Specifies number of backend threads to use for this LUN. Options specific for ramdisk backend: capacity Specifies capacity of backing store (maximum RAM for data). The default value is zero, that disables backing store com- pletely, making all writes go to nowhere, while all reads return zeroes. EXAMPLES Send a SCSI TEST UNIT READY command to LUN 1. ctladm tur 1 Display the list of mode pages supported by LUN 1. ctladm modesense 1 -l Display the saved version of the Control mode page (page 10) on LUN 0. Disable fetching block descriptors, and use a 10 byte MODE SENSE command instead of the default 6 byte command. ctladm modesense 0 -m 10 -P 3 -d -c 10 Read the first 512 byte block from LUN 2 and dump it to the file ctladm read 2 -l 0 -d 1 -b 512 -f - > foo Read 10240 bytes from the file /tmp/bar and write it to LUN 3. starting at LBA 0xff432140. ctladm write 3 -l 0xff432140 -d 20 -b 512 -f /tmp/bar Create a LUN with the "fake" ramdisk as a backing store. The LUN will claim to have a size of approximately 10 terabytes, while having no real data store (all written data are lost). ctladm create -b ramdisk -s 10485760000000000 Create a thin provisioned LUN with a ramdisk as a backing store. The LUN will have maximal backing store capacity of 10 gigabytes, while reporting size of 10 terabytes, ctladm create -b ramdisk -s 10T -o capacity=10G Create a LUN using the block backend, and specify the file src/usr.sbin/ctladm/ctladm.8 as the backing store. The size of the LUN will be derived from the size of the file. ctladm create -b block -o file=src/usr.sbin/ctladm/ctladm.8 Create a LUN using the block backend, specify the file src/usr.sbin/ctladm/ctladm.8 as the backing store, and specify the SCSI VPD page 0x80 and 0x83 serial number (-S) and device ID (-d). ctladm create -b block -o file=src/usr.sbin/ctladm/ctladm.8 -S MYSERIAL321 -d MYDEVID123 Use to specify generic options on ioctl frontend port, now it is only possible to set pp and/or vp port number. ctladm port -c -O pp=11 -O vp=12 Remove specified targ_port. ctladm port -r -p 4 Remove LUN 12, which is handled by the block backend, from the system. ctladm remove -b block -l 12 List configured LUNs in the system, along with their backend and serial number. This works when the Front End Target Drivers are enabled or dis- abled. ctladm devlist List all LUNs in the system, along with their inquiry data and device type. This only works when the FETDs are enabled, since the commands go through the ioctl port. ctladm lunlist Inject a medium error on LUN 6 for every read that covers the first 512 blocks of the LUN. ctladm inject 6 -i mediumerr -p read -r 0,512 -c Inject a custom error on LUN 6 for the next TEST UNIT READY command only. This will result in a sense key of NOT READY (0x02), and an ASC/ASCQ of 0x04,0x02 ("Logical unit not ready, initializing command required"). ctladm inject 6 -i custom -p tur -s 18 "f0 0 02 s12 04 02" SEE ALSO cam(3), cam_cdbparse(3), cam(4), ctl(4), xpt(4), camcontrol(8), ctld(8), ctlstat(8) HISTORY The ctladm utility was originally written during the Winter/Spring of 2003 as an interface to CTL.
