the standard SCSI inquiry output. If the disk is an IDE disk, the resulting output is from the
Identify Device command.
-I+ This is the verbose mode of the inquiry command, and it instructs the program to also display
hex dumps of all Extended Vital Product Data Pages (EVPD pages. These extended pages
display additional information such as serial numbers and vendor-unique information.
-IS Returns the serial number of installed media for tape drives. This command is not supported
by all tape drives.
-J Mode page viewer - Decodes ANSI-standard mode pages settings and displays in readable
text with descriptions
-K Set to interactive mode to configure statistical/threshold monitoring parameters
-L Instructs program to send logger output to /var/log/smartmon-ux, or /var/adm/
smartmon-ux depending on what O/S you are running. (OS X and LINUX default to /var/
log, UNIXWARE, IRIX, SOLARIS, AIX, and HPUX go to /var/adm).VMS uses a log file
SMARTMON.LOG in the currently selected directory. Syslog, file, and windows event logging
are discussed in more detail in the System Event Log chapter.
-LRemote Host Sends messages to the remote system event log. (This flag only supported in Windows).
Example -LRemote \\NOCSUPPORT2.or -LRemote \\12.18.1.25
-LB <Scriptfile> Launches the program or script, <Scriptfile>, in event of a predictive failure alert or in
conjunction with the test message (-T option)
-link Reports current interface speed (U320, U160, U80 ...) of SCSI / FC device at polling time.
Not all devices have this capability. Use this for enclosure and cable testing.
-Mail Interactively configures email account settings for SMTP servers that require
authentication (Windows-specific flag).
-M <EMAIL> Instructs program to send an alert via email to the email address supplied. Example:
smartmon-ux -M [e-mail]. The sendmail (or other mailer) daemon must be
properly configured for your machine in order for this to work. Of course, the email address
could also be that of a paging service or an alias list which would send the message to as
many people as you desire. If you are running windows, you must configure the SMTP mail
server .
If you are using the Windows version, you must format the line as follows and use the -N
option to supply the IP name of your email server. In addition, you can add up to 8 email
addresses. If you do not supply either the -N or -M options, you will get a command-line error.
Use the -Mail command to define your email server.
smartmon-ux -N mail.gte.net -M "<[e-mail]>,"<[e-mail]>" ... {This
command is not supported under VMS}
-mpexport FILE Exports all mode pages for selected device to an ASCII text file that you may edit. Use the -
mpimport command to burn the saved mode pages onto the same or equivalent device.
(Example: -mpexport seagate.txt /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0 )
-mpimport FILE Imports mode pages from FILE and burns them onto selected device.
Example: -mpimport seagate.txt /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0d[3-5]s0
-N SMTPAcct This windows-specific flags let you assign the desired EMAIL server for sending messages.
The SMTPAccount must be the full network name, rather than an IP number. See the
example above .
-O Dumps detailed ATA/SATA disk drive error log report on supported operating systems.
-P Enable the performance (PERF) bit. This disables S.M.A.R.T. tests which could cause
delays. Not all disk drives support this feature.
-p Disable S.M.A.R.T. for selected disks and exit. The disks are programmed via the mode
page editor to turn feature off in current (volatile) settings. The saved (non-volatile) pages are
not affected. You must use the mode page editor feature to permanently disable S.M.A.R.
T.
-pp Disable S.M.A.R.T. for selected disks, and save it, so that the only way to revert is use the
mode page editor.
-ping Report if device has been removed or does not respond to a poll (after initial discovery).
-Q Displays partition information and file system types, then the program is terminated. (This
option is available on the LINUX, SPARC, OS X and WindowsTM family operating systems).
-random n Sets every bit on the selected SAS, SCSI, USB or fibre channel disk to random data. Then -
