Apart from SCSI parallel interface (SPI) devices, the SCSI command set is used by ATAPI devices (CD/DVDs and tapes), USB mass storage devices, Fibre Channel disks, IEEE 1394 storage devices (that use the "SBP" protocol), SAS, iSCSI and FCoE devices (amongst others). &lfs77_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &sg3_utils-md5sum; Download size: &sg3_utils-size; Estimated disk space required: &sg3_utils-buildsize; Estimated build time: &sg3_utils-time; User Notes: Install sg3_utils by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make This package does not come with a test suite.

Specialised for devices that understand the SCSI command set. sg_dd sg_decode_sense takes SCSI sense data in binary or as a sequence of ASCII hexadecimal bytes and decodes it. sg_decode_sense sg_emc_trespass changes ownership of a LUN from another Service-Processor to this one. sg_emc_trespass sg_format format or resize a SCSI disk (perhaps change its block size). sg_format sg_get_config sends a SCSI GET CONFIGURATION command (MMC-4 +). sg_get_config sg_get_lba_status sends the SCSI GET LBA STATUS command. sg_get_lba_status sg_ident sends a SCSI REPORT or SET IDENTIFYING INFORMATION command. sg_ident sginfo access mode page information for a SCSI (or ATAPI) device. sginfo sg_inq sends a SCSI INQUIRY or ATA IDENTIFY (PACKET) DEVICE command and outputs the response. sg_inq sg_logs access log pages with SCSI LOG SENSE command. sg_logs sg_luns sends the SCSI REPORT LUNS command. sg_luns sg_map displays mapping between linux sg and other SCSI devices. sg_map sg_map26 maps a special file to a SCSI generic (sg) device (or vice versa). sg_map26 sgm_dd copies data to and from files and devices. Specialized for devices that understand the SCSI command set and does memory mapped transfers from sg devices. sgm_dd sg_modes reads mode pages with SCSI MODE SENSE command. sg_modes sg_opcodes reports information on supported SCSI commands or task management functions. sg_opcodes sgp_dd copies data to and from files and devices. Specialized for devices that understand the SCSI command set. sgp_dd sg_persist sends a SCSI PERSISTENT RESERVE (IN or OUT) command to manipulate registrations and reservations. sg_persist sg_prevent sends a SCSI PREVENT ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL command. sg_prevent sg_raw sends an arbitrary SCSI command to a device. sg_raw sg_rbuf reads data using SCSI READ BUFFER command. sg_rbuf sg_rdac Display or Modify RDAC Redundant Controller Page. sg_rdac sg_read read blocks of data continually from same offset. sg_read sg_read_block_limits sends a SCSI READ BLOCK LIMITS command. sg_read_block_limits sg_read_buffer sends a SCSI READ BUFFER command. sg_read_buffer sg_readcap sends a SCSI READ CAPACITY command. sg_readcap sg_read_long sends a SCSI READ LONG command. sg_read_long sg_reassign sends a SCSI REASSIGN BLOCKS command. sg_reassign sg_referrals sends the SCSI REPORT REFERRALS command. sg_referrals sg_rep_zones sends SCSI REPORT ZONES command. sg_rep_zones sg_requests sends one or more SCSI REQUEST SENSE commands. sg_requests sg_reset sends SCSI device, target, bus or host reset; or checks reset state. sg_reset sg_reset_wp sends SCSI RESET WRITE POINTER command. sg_reset_wp sg_rmsn sends a SCSI READ MEDIA SERIAL NUMBER command. sg_rmsn sg_rtpg sends a SCSI REPORT TARGET PORT GROUPS command. sg_rtpg sg_safte fetch status from a SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosure (SAF-TE) device. sg_safte sg_sanitize sends a SCSI SANITIZE command. sg_sanitize sg_sat_identify sends a ATA IDENTIFY (PACKET) DEVICE command via a SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT) layer. sg_sat_identify sg_sat_phy_event sends an ATA READ LOG EXT command via a SAT pass through to fetch log page 11h which contains SATA phy event counters. sg_sat_phy_event sg_sat_read_gplog uses ATA READ LOG EXT command via a SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT) layer. sg_sat_read_gplog sg_sat_set_features sends a ATA SET FEATURES command via a SCSI to ATA Translation (SAT) layer. sg_sat_set_features sg_scan does a scan of sg devices (or given SCSI/ATAPI/ATA devices) and prints the results. sg_scan sg_senddiag performs a SCSI SEND DIAGNOSTIC command. sg_senddiag sg_ses sends controls and fetch status from a SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) device. sg_ses sg_ses_microcode sends microcode to a SCSI enclosure. sg_ses_microcode sg_start sends SCSI START STOP UNIT command to start, stop, load or eject medium. sg_start sg_stpg sends a SCSI SET TARGET PORT GROUPS command. sg_stpg sg_sync sends the scsi command synchronize cache. sg_sync sg_test_rwbuf tests the SCSI host adapter by issuing write and read operations on a device's buffer and calculating checksums. sg_test_rwbuf sg_turs sends one or more SCSI TEST UNIT READY commands. sg_turs sg_unmap sends a SCSI UNMAP command. sg_unmap sg_verify invoke SCSI VERIFY command(s) on a block device. sg_verify sg_vpd fetches Vital Product Data (VPD) pages using a SCSI INQUIRY command. sg_vpd sg_write_buffer sends a SCSI WRITE BUFFER command. sg_write_buffer sg_write_long sends the SCSI WRITE LONG command. sg_write_long sg_write_same sends the SCSI WRITE SAME command. sg_write_same sg_write_verify sends the SCSI WRITE AND VERIFY command. sg_xcopy sg_wr_mode writes mode page. sg_wr_mode sg_xcopy copies data to and from files and devices using SCSI EXTENDED COPY (XCOPY). sg_xcopy libsgutils2.so contains the sg3_utils API functions. libsgutils2.so
