By comparing the values for the path, port, id, and lun, we can see that \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 maps to the same
device as \\.\SCSI2Port2Path0Target4Lun0. Therefore, both device driver names can be used interchangeably
throughout the program.
However, we advise using the \\.\SCSI type device name format since this is tied to the physical path, where the
\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE format is assigned by the O/S in whatever order it wants to. If you add another controller to your
system, or add/remove a device, the \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE type driver may change for any or all of your peripherals.
Removing Duplicate Entries
SMARTMonUX will ALWAYS scan for devices when you invoke it, in order to provide support for both device names,
and to insure that scripts that do not specify particular devices will not execute on the same device twice with both
device names. The default device name will always be the \\.\SCSI type device.
4.7 Update Revision History
Version 1.43 (Released DEC 2009)
· Increased maximum block count for -scrub family commands from 112 to 120 blocks (which results in slightly faster
scrubbing and DVT testing)
· Added support for Newisysvi l 2240 and 2241 SES enclosures
· Added full support for disk scrubbing, verification, -read, and DVT tests when disks formatted to 520 or more bytes
per block. (The -read command would return an error message unless the disk was formatted to 512 bytes per
block)
· Enumerates vendor-specific health information for STEC Solid-State Disk SSD products (End-to-end errors,
aborted commands, uncorrectable errors, and more)
· Fixed problem on some Infortrend RAID controllers where firmware revision was displayed as numeric information
rather than text string.
· Program now properly reports serial number for Intel's SSR212MC storage appliances.
· You can now upgrade SES firmware on Intel's SSR212MC appliances, as well as Newisys SAS/SATA 2240 and
2241 enclosures.
· Added 5 newly-defined ANSI TapeAlert codes defined in 2009
· Increased timeouts for issuing the -read command in situation where device might be spun down. (Now it is 30
seconds)
·
Version 1.42 (Released NOV 2009)
· Fixed buffer over run if reporting on a 10Gbit FC disk
· Added support for AIX 5.3
· Added new self-tests for ATA/SATA disks (windows only, limited MAC 10.5+ support), and allow use of all self tests
on all SCSI, FC, SAS peripherals, rather than disk drives only. (-stefa, -steba, -stsba, -staa, -stra)
· 64-bit support for reading raw ATA disks greater than 2TB added
· Background low-level formatting -formatb and -formatconf to suppress are-you-sure message added. In
addition -random added to randomize data.
· Support for enumerating all peripherals updated to latest SATA 3.0 specifications and SCSI specifications, resulting
