Writing (Exporting) Mode Pages and Saving to File
Syntax: smartmon-ux-mpimport-ux FILENDevice_list AME
Example: smartmon-ux -mpimport SEAGATEMASTER.TXT /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0
The above will read and save all information from the file and save it to the device. You can also clone mode pages to
more than one device at a time by entering multiple devices or using wild cards.
(Such as smartmon-ux -mpexport SEAGATEMASTER.TXT /dev/rdsk/c0d1s0 /dev/rdsk/c0d2s0)
Application Notes & Comments
The file used with these commands is in ASCII format so you can modify it with a standard text editor.
To leave individual byte settings unchanged, replace those bytes with the XX characters, as in:
000000 17 00 10 08 01 0F 33 D4 00 00 02 00 9C XX 00 XX
If you wanted to leave a particular mode page unchanged, delete it from the file. If you wanted to leave the SAVED
settings alone for the drive above, delete the three lines marked in blue from the file, then run the -mpexport
command as before.
The FACTORY and CHANGEABLE pages are not programmable. We chose to copy them into the file because it is
convenient for the user to know this information. The program does not view or interpret this information in any way.
Other features of mpexport:
· All lines beginning with the # character are ignored. Feel free to append the file with additional comments.
· Currently, the program ignores the ";" lines that report the timestamp and the make/model of device. This may
change in the future, so do not modify them.
· Do not modify any lines that begin with the ";"
· 10-byte mode pages are not supported in the initial release. If your device uses the 10-byte version of MODE
SENSE or MODE SELECT, those pages will be skipped.
Warning:
Changing mode pages can be dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. We advise you to always take the
conservative approach and just change the CURRENT page to make sure the settings have the desired affect (use
the # character to comment out the SAVED pages in the file).
If things do not go well, you can just recycle power and the device. The CURRENT page will revert to the SAVED
page.
