SG_COPY_RESULTS(8) SG3_UTILS SG_COPY_RESULTS(8)
NAME
sg_copy_results - send SCSI RECEIVE COPY RESULTS command (XCOPY
related)
SYNOPSIS
sg_copy_results [--failed|--params|--receive|--status] [--help] [--hex]
[--list_id=ID] [--verbose] [--version] [--xfer_len=BTL] DEVICE
DESCRIPTION
This utility is designed to query the status of the SCSI Extended Copy
facility (see SPC-3 revision 23 sections 6.3 and 6.17), present in some
modern storage arrays. This utility sends a SCSI RECEIVE COPY RESULTS
command to the given DEVICE and displays the response.
The command has four distinct modes of operation, distinguished by the
service action field:
COPY STATUS
Displays the current status of the EXTENDED COPY command identi‐
fied by the list id field.
RECEIVE DATA
Return the held data read by the EXTENDED COPY command identi‐
fied by the list id field. This option is only meaningful if the
respective segment descriptor are supported.
OPERATING PARAMETERS
Return copy manager operating parameters. This option is also
useful to determine if the SCSI Extended Copy facility is sup‐
ported.
FAILED SEGMENT DETAILS
Return copy target device sense data and other information about
any failed segments.
OPTIONS
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
-f, --failed
sets the service action field to FAILED SEGMENT DETAILS [4].
-h, --help
output the usage message then exit.
-H, --hex
prints out the response buffer in hex.
-l, --list_id=ID
sets the list identifier field to ID (default: 0).
-p, --params
sets the service action field to OPERATING PARAMETERS [3]. This
is the default.
-r, --receive
sets the service action field to RECEIVE DATA [1].
-s, --status
sets the service action field to COPY STATUS [0].
-v, --verbose
increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).
-V, --version
print the version string and then exit.
-x, --xfer_len=BTL
sets the allocation length field to BTL. It is the byte transfer
length and is the maximum (byte) size of the response. BTL must
be less than 10000 and defaults to 520.
NOTES
Decoding of RECEIVE DATA service action is not implemented.
EXAMPLES
Query the operating parameters for a device:
# sg_copy_results -p /dev/sdo
Receive copy results (report operating parameters):
Supports no list identifier: no
Maximum target descriptor count: 2
Maximum segment descriptor count: 1
Maximum descriptor list length: 92 bytes
Maximum segment length: 33553920 bytes
Inline data not supported
Held data limit: 0 bytes
Maximum stream device transfer size: 0 bytes
Total concurrent copies: 0
Maximum concurrent copies: 255
Data segment granularity: 512 bytes
Inline data granularity: 1 bytes
Held data granularity: 1 bytes
Implemented descriptor list:
Segment descriptor 0x02: Copy from block device to block device
Target descriptor 0xe4: Identification descriptor
EXIT STATUS
The exit status of sg_copy_results is 0 when it is successful. Other‐
wise see the sg3_utils(8) man page.
