164.Sh DESCRIPTION
165The
166.Nm
167utility is designed to provide a way for users to access and control the
168.Dx
169CAM subsystem.
170.Pp
171The
172.Nm
173utility
174can cause a loss of data and/or system crashes if used improperly.  Even
175expert users are encouraged to exercise caution when using this command.
176Novice users should stay away from this utility.
177.Pp
178The
179.Nm
180utility has a number of primary functions, many of which support an optional
181device identifier.  A device identifier can take one of three forms:
182.Bl -tag -width 14n
183.It deviceUNIT
184Specify a device name and unit number combination, like "da5" or "cd3".
185Note that character device node names (e.g. /dev/da0) are
186.Em not
187allowed here.
188.It bus:target
189Specify a bus number and target id.  The bus number can be determined from
190the output of
191.Dq camcontrol devlist .
192The lun defaults to 0.
193.It bus:target:lun
194Specify the bus, target and lun for a device.  (e.g. 1:2:0)
195.El
196.Pp
197The device identifier, if it is specified,
198.Em must
199come immediately after the function name, and before any generic or
200function-specific arguments.  Note that the
201.Fl n
202and
203.Fl u
204arguments described below will override any device name or unit number
205specified beforehand.  The
206.Fl n
207and
208.Fl u
209arguments will
210.Em not
211override a specified bus:target or bus:target:lun, however.
212.Pp
213Most of the
214.Nm
215primary functions support these generic arguments:
216.Bl -tag -width 14n
217.It Fl C Ar count
218SCSI command retry count.  In order for this to work, error recovery
219.Pq Fl E
220must be turned on.
221.It Fl E
222Instruct the kernel to perform generic SCSI error recovery for the given
223command.  This is needed in order for the retry count
224.Pq Fl C
225to be honored.  Other than retrying commands, the generic error recovery in
226the code will generally attempt to spin up drives that are not spinning.
227It may take some other actions, depending upon the sense code returned from
228the command.
229.It Fl n Ar dev_name
230Specify the device type to operate on, e.g. "da", "cd".
231.It Fl t Ar timeout
232SCSI command timeout in seconds.  This overrides the default timeout for
233any given command.
234.It Fl u Ar unit_number
235Specify the device unit number, e.g. "1", "5".
236.It Fl v
237Be verbose, print out sense information for failed SCSI commands.
238.El
239.Pp
240Primary command functions:
241.Bl -tag -width periphlist
242.It Ic devlist
243List all physical devices (logical units) attached to the CAM subsystem.
244This also includes a list of peripheral drivers attached to each device.
245With the
246.Fl v
247argument, SCSI bus number, adapter name and unit numbers are printed as
248well.
249.It Ic periphlist
250List all peripheral drivers attached to a given physical device (logical
251unit).
252.It Ic tur
253Send the SCSI test unit ready (0x00) command to the given device.
254The
255.Nm
256utility will report whether the device is ready or not.
257.It Ic inquiry
258Send a SCSI inquiry command (0x12) to a device.  By default,
259.Nm
260will print out the standard inquiry data, device serial number, and
261transfer rate information.  The user can specify that only certain types of
262inquiry data be printed:
263.Bl -tag -width 4n
264.It Fl D
265Get the standard inquiry data.
266.It Fl S
267Print out the serial number.  If this flag is the only one specified,
268.Nm
269will not print out "Serial Number" before the value returned by the drive.
270This is to aid in script writing.
271.It Fl R
272Print out transfer rate information.
273.El
274.It Ic reportluns
275Send the SCSI REPORT LUNS (0xA0) command to the given device.
276By default,
277.Nm
278will print out the list of logical units (LUNs) supported by the target device.
279There are a couple of options to modify the output:
280.Bl -tag -width 01234567890123
281.It Fl c
282Just print out a count of LUNs, not the actual LUN numbers.
283.It Fl l
284Just print out the LUNs, and don't print out the count.
285.It Fl r Ar reporttype
286Specify the type of report to request from the target:
287.Bl -tag -width 012345678
288.It default
289Return the default report.
290This is the
291.Nm
292default.
293Most targets will support this report if they support the REPORT LUNS
294command.
295.It wellknown
296Return only well known LUNs.
297.It all
298Return all available LUNs.
299.El
300.El
301.Pp
302.Nm
303will try to print out LUN numbers in a reasonable format.
304It can understand the peripheral, flat, LUN and extended LUN formats.
305.It Ic readcap
306Send the SCSI READ CAPACITY command to the given device and display
307the results.
308If the device is larger than 2TB, the SCSI READ CAPACITY (16) service
309action will be sent to obtain the full size of the device.
310By default,
311.Nm
312will print out the last logical block of the device, and the blocksize of
313the device in bytes.
314To modify the output format, use the following options:
315.Bl -tag -width 5n
316.It Fl b
317Just print out the blocksize, not the last block or device size.
318This cannot be used with
319.Fl N
320or
321.Fl s .
322.It Fl h
323Print out the device size in human readable (base 2, 1K == 1024) format.
324This implies
325.Fl N
326and cannot be used with
327.Fl q
328or
329.Fl b .
330.It Fl H
331Print out the device size in human readable (base 10, 1K == 1000) format.
332.It Fl N
333Print out the number of blocks in the device instead of the last logical
334block.
335.It Fl q
336Quiet, print out the numbers only (separated by a comma if
337.Fl b
338or
339.Fl s
340are not specified).
341.It Fl s
342Print out the last logical block or the size of the device only, and omit
343the blocksize.
344.El
345.It Ic start
346Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
347start bit set.
348.It Ic stop
349Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
350start bit cleared.
351.It Ic load
352Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
353start bit set and the load/eject bit set.
354.It Ic eject
355Send the SCSI Start/Stop Unit (0x1B) command to the given device with the
356start bit cleared and the load/eject bit set.
357.It Ic rescan
358Tell the kernel to scan all busses in the system (with the
359.Ar all
360argument), the given bus (XPT_SCAN_BUS), or bus:target:lun
361(XPT_SCAN_LUN) for new devices or devices that have gone away.  The user
362may specify a scan of all busses, a single bus, or a lun.  Scanning all luns
363on a target isn't supported.
364.It Ic reset
365Tell the kernel to reset all busses in the system (with the
366.Ar all
367argument) or the given bus (XPT_RESET_BUS) by issuing a SCSI bus
368reset for that bus, or to reset the given bus:target:lun
369(XPT_RESET_DEV), typically by issuing a BUS DEVICE RESET message after
370connecting to that device.
371Note that this can have a destructive impact
372on the system.
373.It Ic defects
374Send the SCSI READ DEFECT DATA (10) command (0x37) to the given device, and
375print out any combination of: the total number of defects, the primary
376defect list (PLIST), and the grown defect list (GLIST).
377.Bl -tag -width 11n
378.It Fl f Ar format
379The three format options are:
380.Em block ,
381to print out the list as logical blocks,
382.Em bfi ,
383to print out the list in bytes from index format, and
384.Em phys ,
385to print out the list in physical sector format.  The format argument is
386required.  Most drives support the physical sector format.  Some drives
387support the logical block format.  Many drives, if they don't support the
388requested format, return the data in an alternate format, along with sense
389information indicating that the requested data format isn't supported.
390The
391.Nm
392utility
393attempts to detect this, and print out whatever format the drive returns.
394If the drive uses a non-standard sense code to report that it doesn't
395support the requested format,
396.Nm
397will probably see the error as a failure to complete the request.
398.It Fl G
399Print out the grown defect list.  This is a list of bad blocks that have
400been remapped since the disk left the factory.
401.It Fl P
402Print out the primary defect list.
403.El
404.Pp
405If neither
406.Fl P
407nor
408.Fl G
409is specified,
410.Nm
411will print out the number of defects given in the READ DEFECT DATA header
412returned from the drive.
413.It Ic modepage
414Allows the user to display and optionally edit a SCSI mode page.  The mode
415page formats are located in
416.Pa /usr/share/misc/scsi_modes .
417This can be overridden by specifying a different file in the
418.Ev SCSI_MODES
419environment variable.
420The
421.Ic modepage
422command takes several arguments:
423.Bl -tag -width 12n
424.It Fl d
425Disable block descriptors for mode sense.
426.It Fl e
427This flag allows the user to edit values in the mode page.
428.It Fl m Ar mode_page
429This specifies the number of the mode page the user would like to view
430and/or edit.  This argument is mandatory.
431.It Fl P Ar pgctl
432This allows the user to specify the page control field.  Possible values are:
433.Bl -tag -width xxx -compact
434.It 0
435Current values
436.It 1
437Changeable values
438.It 2
439Default values
440.It 3
441Saved values
442.El
443.El
444.It Ic cmd
445Allows the user to send an arbitrary SCSI CDB to any device.
446The
447.Ic cmd
448function requires the
449.Fl c
450argument to specify the CDB.  Other arguments are optional, depending on
451the command type.  The command and data specification syntax is documented
452in
453.Xr cam_cdbparse 3 .
454NOTE:  If the CDB specified causes data to be transferred to or from the
455SCSI device in question, you MUST specify either
456.Fl i
457or
458.Fl o .
459.Bl -tag -width 17n
460.It Fl c Ar cmd Op args
461This specifies the SCSI CDB.  CDBs may be 6, 10, 12 or 16 bytes.
462.It Fl i Ar len Ar fmt
463This specifies the amount of data to read, and how it should be displayed.
464If the format is
465.Sq - ,
466.Ar len
467bytes of data will be read from the device and written to standard output.
468.It Fl o Ar len Ar fmt Op args
469This specifies the amount of data to be written to a device, and the data
470that is to be written.  If the format is
471.Sq - ,
472.Ar len
473bytes of data will be read from standard input and written to the device.
474.El
475.It Ic debug
476Turn on CAM debugging printfs in the kernel.  This requires
477.Cd options CAMDEBUG
478in your kernel config file.  WARNING:  enabling debugging printfs currently
479causes an EXTREME number of kernel printfs.  You may have difficulty
480turning off the debugging printfs once they start, since the kernel will be
481busy printing messages and unable to service other requests quickly.
482The
483.Ic debug
484function takes a number of arguments:
485.Bl -tag -width 18n
486.It Fl I
487Enable CAM_DEBUG_INFO printfs.
488.It Fl P
489Enable CAM_DEBUG_PERIPH printfs.
490.It Fl T
491Enable CAM_DEBUG_TRACE printfs.
492.It Fl S
493Enable CAM_DEBUG_SUBTRACE printfs.
494.It Fl X
495Enable CAM_DEBUG_XPT printfs.
496.It Fl c
497Enable CAM_DEBUG_CDB printfs.  This will cause the kernel to print out the
498SCSI CDBs sent to the specified device(s).
499.It all
500Enable debugging for all devices.
501.It off
502Turn off debugging for all devices
503.It bus Ns Op :target Ns Op :lun
504Turn on debugging for the given bus, target or lun.  If the lun or target
505and lun are not specified, they are wildcarded.  (i.e., just specifying a
506bus turns on debugging printfs for all devices on that bus.)
507.El
508.It Ic tags
509Show or set the number of "tagged openings" or simultaneous transactions
510we attempt to queue to a particular device.  By default, the
511.Ic tags
512command, with no command-specific arguments (i.e. only generic arguments)
513prints out the "soft" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to
514the device in question.  For more detailed information, use the
515.Fl v
516argument described below.
517.Bl -tag -width 7n
518.It Fl N Ar tags
519Set the number of tags for the given device.  This must be between the
520minimum and maximum number set in the kernel quirk table.  The default for
521most devices that support tagged queueing is a minimum of 2 and a maximum
522of 255.  The minimum and maximum values for a given device may be
523determined by using the
524.Fl v
525switch.  The meaning of the
526.Fl v
527switch for this
528.Nm
529subcommand is described below.
530.It Fl q
531Be quiet, and don't report the number of tags.  This is generally used when
532setting the number of tags.
533.It Fl v
534The verbose flag has special functionality for the
535.Em tags
536argument.  It causes
537.Nm
538to print out the tagged queueing related fields of the XPT_GDEV_TYPE CCB:
539.Bl -tag -width 13n
540.It dev_openings
541This is the amount of capacity for transactions queued to a given device.
542.It dev_active
543This is the number of transactions currently queued to a device.
544.It devq_openings
545This is the kernel queue space for transactions.  This count usually mirrors
546dev_openings except during error recovery operations when
547the device queue is frozen (device is not allowed to receive
548commands), the number of dev_openings is reduced, or transaction
549replay is occurring.
550.It devq_queued
551This is the number of transactions waiting in the kernel queue for capacity
552on the device.  This number is usually zero unless error recovery is in
553progress.
554.It held
555The held count is the number of CCBs held by peripheral drivers that have
556either just been completed or are about to be released to the transport
557layer for service by a device.  Held CCBs reserve capacity on a given
558device.
559.It mintags
560This is the current "hard" minimum number of transactions that can be
561queued to a device at once.  The
562.Ar dev_openings
563value above cannot go below this number.  The default value for
564.Ar mintags
565is 2, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
566.It maxtags
567This is the "hard" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to a
568device at one time.  The
569.Ar dev_openings
570value cannot go above this number.  The default value for
571.Ar maxtags
572is 255, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
573.El
574.El
575.It Ic negotiate
576Show or negotiate various communication parameters.  Some controllers may
577not support setting or changing some of these values.  For instance, the
578Adaptec 174x controllers do not support changing a device's sync rate or
579offset.
580The
581.Nm
582utility
583will not attempt to set the parameter if the controller indicates that it
584does not support setting the parameter.  To find out what the controller
585supports, use the
586.Fl v
587flag.  The meaning of the
588.Fl v
589flag for the
590.Ic negotiate
591command is described below.  Also, some controller drivers don't support
592setting negotiation parameters, even if the underlying controller supports
593negotiation changes.  Some controllers, such as the Advansys wide
594controllers, support enabling and disabling synchronous negotiation for
595a device, but do not support setting the synchronous negotiation rate.
596.Bl -tag -width 17n
597.It Fl a
598Attempt to make the negotiation settings take effect immediately by sending
599a Test Unit Ready command to the device.
600.It Fl c
601Show or set current negotiation settings.  This is the default.
602.It Fl D Ar enable|disable
603Enable or disable disconnection.
604.It Fl O Ar offset
605Set the command delay offset.
606.It Fl q
607Be quiet, don't print anything.  This is generally useful when you want to
608set a parameter, but don't want any status information.
609.It Fl R Ar syncrate
610Change the synchronization rate for a device.  The sync rate is a floating
611point value specified in MHz.  So, for instance,
612.Sq 20.000
613is a legal value, as is
614.Sq 20 .
615.It Fl T Ar enable|disable
616Enable or disable tagged queueing for a device.
617.It Fl U
618Show or set user negotiation settings.  The default is to show or set
619current negotiation settings.
620.It Fl v
621The verbose switch has special meaning for the
622.Ic negotiate
623subcommand.  It causes
624.Nm
625to print out the contents of a Path Inquiry (XPT_PATH_INQ) CCB sent to the
626controller driver.
627.It Fl W Ar bus_width
628Specify the bus width to negotiate with a device.  The bus width is
629specified in bits.  The only useful values to specify are 8, 16, and 32
630bits.  The controller must support the bus width in question in order for
631the setting to take effect.
632.El
633.Pp
634In general, sync rate and offset settings will not take effect for a
635device until a command has been sent to the device.  The
636.Fl a
637switch above will automatically send a Test Unit Ready to the device so
638negotiation parameters will take effect.
639.It Ic format
640Issue the
641.Tn SCSI
642FORMAT UNIT command to the named device.
643.Pp
644.Em WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
645.Pp
646Low level formatting a disk will destroy ALL data on the disk.  Use
647extreme caution when issuing this command.  Many users low-level format
648disks that do not really need to be low-level formatted.  There are
649relatively few scenarios that call for low-level formatting a disk.
650One reason for
651low-level formatting a disk is to initialize the disk after changing
652its physical sector size.  Another reason for low-level formatting a disk
653is to revive the disk if you are getting "medium format corrupted" errors
654from the disk in response to read and write requests.
655.Pp
656Some disks take longer than others to format.  Users should specify a
657timeout long enough to allow the format to complete.  The default format
658timeout is 3 hours, which should be long enough for most disks.  Some hard
659disks will complete a format operation in a very short period of time
660(on the order of 5 minutes or less).  This is often because the drive
661doesn't really support the FORMAT UNIT command -- it just accepts the
662command, waits a few minutes and then returns it.
663.Pp
664The
665.Sq format
666subcommand takes several arguments that modify its default behavior.  The
667.Fl q
668and
669.Fl y
670arguments can be useful for scripts.
671.Bl -tag -width 6n
672.It Fl q
673Be quiet, don't print any status messages.  This option will not disable
674the questions, however.  To disable questions, use the
675.Fl y
676argument, below.
677.It Fl r
678Run in
679.Dq report only
680mode.
681This will report status on a format that is already running on the drive.
682.It Fl w
683Issue a non-immediate format command.  By default,
684.Nm
685issues the FORMAT UNIT command with the immediate bit set.  This tells the
686device to immediately return the format command, before the format has
687actually completed.  Then,
688.Nm
689gathers
690.Tn SCSI
691sense information from the device every second to determine how far along
692in the format process it is.  If the
693.Fl w
694argument is specified,
695.Nm
696will issue a non-immediate format command, and will be unable to print any
697information to let the user know what percentage of the disk has been
698formatted.
699.It Fl y
700Don't ask any questions.  By default,
701.Nm
702will ask the user if he/she really wants to format the disk in question,
703and also if the default format command timeout is acceptable.  The user
704will not be asked about the timeout if a timeout is specified on the
705command line.

837.Sh BUGS
838The code that parses the generic command line arguments doesn't know that
839some of the subcommands take multiple arguments.  So if, for instance, you
840tried something like this:
841.Bd -literal -offset indent
842camcontrol cmd -n da -u 1 -c "00 00 00 00 00 v" 0x00 -v
843.Ed
844.Pp
845The sense information from the test unit ready command would not get
846printed out, since the first
847.Xr getopt 3
848call in
849.Nm
850bails out when it sees the second argument to
851.Fl c
852(0x00),
853above.  Fixing this behavior would take some gross code, or changes to the
854.Xr getopt 3
855interface.  The best way to circumvent this problem is to always make sure
856to specify generic
857.Nm
858arguments before any command-specific arguments.
