Utility Options ===============
--echoCommandLine
Echo the command line entered into the utility on the screen.
--enableLegacyUSBPassthrough
Only use this option on old USB or IEEE1394 (Firewire) products that do not
otherwise work with the tool. This option will enable a trial and error method
that attempts sending various ATA Identify commands through vendor specific means.
Because of this, certain products that may respond in unintended ways since they
may interpret these commands differently than the bridge chip the command was
designed for.
--forceATA
Using this option will force the current drive to be treated as a ATA drive. Only
ATA commands will be used to talk to the drive.
--forceATADMA
(SATA Only)
Using this option will force the tool to issue SAT commands to ATA device using the
protocol set to DMA whenever possible (on DMA commands). This option can be
combined with --forceATA
--forceATAPIO
(SATA Only)
Using this option will force the tool to issue PIO commands to ATA device when
possible. This option can be combined with --forceATA
--forceATAUDMA
(SATA Only)
Using this option will force the tool to issue SAT commands to ATA device using the
protocol set to UDMA whenever possible (on DMA commands). This option can be
combined with --forceATA
--forceSCSI
Using this option will force the current drive to be treated as a SCSI drive. Only
SCSI commands will be used to talk to the drive.
-h, --help
Show utility options and example usage (this output you see now) Please report
bugs/suggestions to seaboard@seagate.com. Include the output of --version
information in the email.
--license
Display the Seagate End User License Agreement (EULA).
--modelMatch [model Number]
Use this option to run on all drives matching the provided model number. This
option will provide a closest match although an exact match is preferred. Ex: ST500
will match ST500LM0001
--noBanner
Use this option to suppress the text banner that displays each time openSeaChest is
run.
--onlyFW [firmware revision]
Use this option to run on all drives matching the provided firmware revision. This
option will only do an exact match.
--onlySeagate
Use this option to match only Seagate drives for the options provided
-q, --quiet
Run openSeaChest_Info in quiet mode. This is the same as -v 0 or --verbose 0
-v [0-4], --verbose [0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4]
Show verbose information. Verbosity levels are: 0 - quiet 1 - default 2 - command
descriptions 3 - command descriptions and values 4 - command descriptions, values,
and data buffers Example: -v 3 or --verbose 3
-V, --version
Show openSeaChest_Info version and copyright information & exit
Utility Arguments =================
-d, --device [deviceHandle | all]
Use this option with most commands to specify the device handle on which to perform
an operation. Example: /dev/sg<#> To run across all devices detected in the system,
use the "all" argument instead of a device handle. Example: -d all NOTE: The "all"
argument is handled by running the
specified options on each drive detected in the
OS sequentially. For parallel operations, please use a script opening a separate
instance for each device handle.
-F, --scanFlags [option list]
Use this option to control the output from scan with the options listed below.
Multiple options can be combined.
ata - show only ATA (SATA) devices
usb - show only USB devices scsi - show only SCSI (SAS) devices nvme - show only
NVMe devices interfaceATA - show devices on an ATA interface interfaceUSB - show
devices on a USB interface interfaceSCSI - show devices on a SCSI or SAS interface
interfaceNVME = show devices on an NVMe interface sd - show sd device handles
sgtosd - show the sd and sg device handle mapping
-i, --deviceInfo
Show information and features for the storage device
--llInfo
Dump low-level information about the device to assist with debugging.
-s, --scan
Scan the system and list all storage devices with logical /dev/sg<#> assignments.
Shows model, serial and firmware numbers. If your device is not listed on a scan
immediately after booting, then wait 10 seconds and run it again.
-S, --Scan
This option is the same as --scan or -s, however it will also perform a low level
rescan to pick up other devices. This low level rescan may wake devices from low
power states and may cause the OS to re-enumerate them. Use this option when a
device is plugged in and not discovered in a normal scan. NOTE: A low-level rescan
may not be available on all interfaces or all OSs. The low-level rescan is not
guaranteed to find additional devices in the system when the device is unable to
come to a ready state.
--SATInfo
Displays SATA device information on any interface using both SCSI Inquiry / VPD /
Log reported data (translated according to SAT) and the ATA Identify / Log reported
data.
--testUnitReady
Issues a SCSI Test Unit Ready command and displays the status. If the drive is not
ready, the sense key, asc, ascq, and fru will be displayed and a human readable
translation from the SPC spec will be displayed if one is available.
--fastDiscovery
Use this option
to issue a fast scan on the specified drive.
--deviceStatistics
Use this option to display the device statistics reported by the device. On SATA,
this uses the Device Statistics log, and the notifications log (if DSN feature is
supported) to display these statistics. On SAS, various log pages are read to
collect a bunch of reported parameter information.
--showConcurrentRanges
Use this option to display the concurrent positioning ranges supported by a device.
Concurrent positioning ranges are used to inform which actuator is used for a given
range in LBA space.
--partitionInfo
Use this option to look for a partition table and dump the list of partitions on a
given disk. Currently only MBR and GPT partition tables are supported.
SATA Only: ========= --smartAttributes [raw | hybrid | analyzed] (SATA Only)
The drive will display its list of supported SMART attributes. Some attributes
names are commonly standard and most others are vendor unique. In either case, the
attribute thresholds are always vendor unique. Most attributes are informational
and not used to determine a warranty return. Use the --smartCheck command to
determine if one of the warranty attributes has been tripped. Seagate Support does
not help to analyze SMART attributes. Output modes:
raw - All hex output for those that need every single bit. hybrid - classic table
view with some interpretation of some
fields. Partial raw interpretation, but not all drive
and firmware combinations are supported.
analyzed - a full breakdown of all parts of each individual
attribute's data. Full raw data interpretation only available on select devices.
NOTE: Migration to device statistics is recommended.
SAS Only: ========= --defectFormat [ # | shortBlock | longBlock | xbfi | xchs | bfi
| chs ] (SAS Only)
This option set the format of the defects to output. Not all drives will support
all defect modes! SSDs will only support block modes! Arguments: (name | #)
shortBlock | 0 - show the defects in short block address mode (drives < 32bit LBA)
xbfi | 1 - show the defects in extended bytes from index mode xchs | 2
- show the defects in extended physical cylinder-head-sector mode longBlock | 3 -
show the defects in long block address mode (drives > 32bit LBA) bfi | 4 -
show the defects in bytes from index mode chs | 5 - show the defects in
physical cylinder-head-sector mode
--showSCSIDefects [ p | g | pg ]
(SAS Only)
This option will display the SCSI defects on the screen. The arguments to this
will tell whether to get the grown, primary, or primary and grown defects from the
drive. Use the --defectFormat option to specify the mode to display the defects.
If no mode is specified, physical cylinder-head-sector mode is assumed Arguments:
p - use this option to pull and display the primary (factory) defects g - use this
option to pull and display the grown (reallocated) defects
The above options can be combined to pull and display both defect lists.
