SGSAFTE(8)							    SGSAFTE(8)

NAME
       sgsafte - get SAF-TE status and set disk LEDs

SYNOPSIS
       sgsafte [-defmnrx]

DESCRIPTION
       Sgsafte	is a program that uses the SCSI Generic interface to send spe‐
       cific SCSI commands to obtain the SAF-TE hotswap	 backplane  slot  sta‐
       tuses, and to optionally set a disk fault LED.

       The  SCSI  Generic interface requires that the kernel .config file have
       CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG set.

       A log file, named sgsafte.log is	 created  in  the  /var/log  directory
       which logs the status of the functions and any errors.

OPTIONS
       Command line options are described below.

       -?     This option displays a summary of the commands accepted.

       -d     Specifies	 the  drive  number to set (0, 1, ...) as displayed in
	      the sgsafte display.

       -e     Causes any file writes to be avoided, such as the log file.

       -m     Use More than 8-byte serial numbers (i.e. 12 bytes).  Some  disk
	      vendors  use  longer  serial  numbers.  The default is to detect
	      either 8 or  12  byte  serial  numbers  from  the	 SCSI  inquiry
	      response.

       -n     Naming.	By  default, the device names are displayed as numeric
	      sequences (/dev/sg0).  This option shows	the  device  names  as
	      alphabetic sequences (/dev/sga).

       -x     Causes extra debug messages to be displayed.
