RandomIO-optimized and vice-versa. This error has been fixed.
· Added cosmetic carriage-return after block scrubbing command completes so display shows 100% instead of 99%
completed.
· The -scrubv and -scrubdiv commands now update percentage complete and time remaining more often than once
every 1.0%. This helps those users that have created extremely large LUNs.
· SATA/PATA Drive temperature and cumulative power-on time now reported for several dozen more makes/models
of disk drives.
· If you sent -S option to disk that did not support S.M.A.R.T., you previously got data with many zeros and spaces.
Now you get appropriate not supported message.
· Support for ATA disk drives added to SPARC Solaris. This includes Polling, inquiry, and dumping of SMART
information.
· Text reporting the HBA driver library & version no longer print at end of all -fc family commands. Now this prints with
the "-fc" command.
· Suppressed reporting zeros & blanks for SMART-specific fields on disks that do not support SMART (-I+ option).
· Usable addressable sectors reported in CHS & LBA mode were byte swapped for ATA disks on -I option (but
capacity in MB reported correctly).
· Per changes in revised ATA specification, the field TK0NF was relabeled NM in ATA disk error log dump (applicable
to -O option).
· The -O (error log dump) was enhanced to decode op codes C7 & 2A.
· Support for the SNIA call, HBA_GetVendorLibraryAttributes has been removed. Not all HBAs support this function
and information can be obtained elsewhere.
· SAF-TE now reports the SAF-TE optional slot status information, as well as speaker alarm status.
· Support for 3Ware/AMCC RAID engines added with -z3 and -z3x commands (LINUX & Windows only).
· Added Windows-specific fix that would have prevented an unclaimed device from appearing when it was attached
to a multi-port fibre channel HBA.
· Added factory-default self-test (-stfd) option for SCSI/Fibre/SAS family devices.
· Added -EF flag which can be combined with -E+ and -EH commands that force discovery of SES pages that are not
properly defined in SES page0 per ANSI Specs. This was added to deal with a non-compliant SES enclosure, and
generally not required.
· The -zie option will now report and decode event logs for RAID subsystems using Infortrend-family RAID engines.
· Added -wce and -wcd to easily enable/disable write cache for SCSI/Fibre disks
· Fixed problem with UNIX/LINUX distributions where if -ping command was used. It sent device state to the console
once program relaunched into background at every polling period. Now it only displays the status once to the
console.
Version 1.27 (Released June 2004)
· The 64-bit LINUX build now supports SGI's 2.2 and 3.0 Pro Pack, as well as the 2.6 kernel. The 64-bit builds have
also been tested on SuSE 9.0, Red Hat AS 2.1, Red Hat AS 3.0, and Red Hat 7.1 on Itanium-based processors.
We do not anticipate there would be issues with any LINUX 32 or 64-bit variants with exception of AMD 64-bit
platforms (which have not been tested as of this date).
· An IRIX-specific enhancement was added to dramatically improve performance of I/O specific diagnostics, such as
the -scrub family of commands. Now the program performs a maximum of 2MB worth of transfers before
releasing the exclusive-only pass through subsystem, rather than opening the device, doing a single I/O, then
releasing it.
· The -I+ (detailed inquiry) function now decodes data from extended vital product data inquiry fields (EVPD
pages). 155 new fields were decoded for Seagate, Quantum, IBM and other vendor disk and tape drives.
· The -I+ function now reports basic controller information for Infortrend manufactured RAID engines.
· The -V+ function no longer appends the "(numeric)" suffix on fields that are numeric, as this is the default,
· The usage text (-h and -? ) has expanded and re-arranged for better usability and clarity.
· The -wsbyteconfirm command was added. This is same as the -wsbyte command, only it does not ask you
for an are-you-sure response.
· Data integrity tests, -scrubdiv and -scrubdi were added.
· Optional non-volatile SAF-TE enclosure fields for cumulative power-ons and cumulative minutes has been
added.
· Optional SES vendor-unique type descriptors and element descriptors are reported, if the data is available for the
selected SES enclosure.
