29.Dt SES 4
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm ses
33.Nd SCSI Environmental Services driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd device ses
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39driver provides support for all
40.Tn SCSI
41devices of the environmental services class that are attached to the system
42through a supported
43.Tn SCSI
44Host Adapter, as well as emulated support for SAF-TE (SCSI Accessible
45Fault Tolerant Enclosures).
46The environmental services class generally are enclosure devices that
47provide environmental information such as number of power supplies (and
48state), temperature, device slots, and so on.
49.Pp
50A
51.Tn SCSI
52Host
53adapter must also be separately configured into the system
54before a
55.Tn SCSI
56Environmental Services device can be configured.
57.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
58It is only necessary to explicitly configure one
59.Nm
60device; data structures are dynamically allocated as devices are found
61on the
62.Tn SCSI
63bus.
64.Pp
65A separate option,
66.Va SES_ENABLE_PASSTHROUGH ,
67may be specified to allow the
68.Nm
69driver to perform functions on devices of other classes that claim to
70also support
71.Nm
72functionality.
73.Sh IOCTLS
74The following
75.Xr ioctl 2
76calls apply to
77.Nm
78devices.
79They are defined in the header file
80.In bus/cam/scsi/scsi_ses.h
81(\fIq.v.\fR).
82.Bl -tag -width ".Dv SESIOC_GETENCSTAT"
83.It Dv SESIOC_GETNOBJ
84Used to find out how many
85.Nm
86objects are driven by this particular device instance.
87.It Dv SESIOC_GETOBJMAP
88Read, from the kernel, an array of SES objects which contains
89the object identifier, which subenclosure it is in, and the
90.Nm
91type of the object.
92.It Dv SESIOC_GETENCSTAT
93Get the overall enclosure status.
94.It Dv SESIOC_SETENCSTAT
95Set the overall enclosure status.
96.It Dv SESIOC_GETOBJSTAT
97Get the status of a particular object.
98.It Dv SESIOC_SETOBJSTAT
99Set the status of a particular object.
100.\".It Dv SESIOC_GETTEXT
101.\"Get the associated help text for an object (not yet implemented).
102.\".Nm
103.\"devices often have descriptive text for an object which can tell
104.\"you things like location (e.g, "left power supply").
105.It Dv SESIOC_INIT
106Initialize the enclosure.
107.El
108.Sh EXAMPLE USAGE
109The files contained in
110.Aq Pa usr/share/examples/ses
111show simple mechanisms for how to use these interfaces, as well as a
112very stupid simple monitoring daemon.
113.Sh FILES
114.Bl -tag -width /dev/rsdXXXXX -compact
115.It Pa /dev/ses Ns Ar N
116The
117.Em Nth
118.Nm SES
119device.
120.El
121.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
122When the kernel is configured with
123.Tn DEBUG
124enabled, the first open to an SES device will spit out overall enclosure
125parameters to the console.
126.Sh HISTORY
127The
128.Nm
129driver was written for the
130.Tn CAM
131.Tn SCSI
132subsystem by Matthew Jacob.
133This is a functional equivalent of a similar
134driver available in Solaris, Release 7.
