SANtools® S.M.A.R.T. Disk Monitor (SMARTMon-UX)20
SANTOOLS® is registered in US Patent and Trademark Office No 3,107,854 All rights reserved.
n refers to the number of desired passes. This does not use the secure erase function, but it
is rather fast.
-rb BlockNo Reassign block #BlockNo on selected SCSI, FC, SSA, or SAS disk. This feature is not yet
supported on ATA or SATA devices. The Block number must be decimal).
-rb BlockNoh Reassign block #BlockNo, but BlockNo is in hex, i.e. -rb f7d01h
-rc BlockNo Corrupt block #BlockNo on selected SCSI, FC, SSA or SAS disk. The ECC information will
be incorrect so the next read on that block will generate an unrecovered read error.
-read s,n,FILE Reads n blocks from random access device starting at block #s and saves to binary file.
(Block size can be from 512 - 528)
-S IDE S.M.A.R.T. threshold and attribute pages are displayed, then the program is
terminated. (This option is only available on the LINUX, Apple OSX 10.3+, Solaris, and
WindowsTM family operating systems).
-scrub Fitness test (full I/O test with detailed error reporting - usually takes hours
-scrubdi (options) Destructive data integrity test.
-scrubdiv (options) Destructive data integrity test - verbose.
-scrubv Fitness test, same as above but verbose. Reports errors as discovered and percent
complete.
-scrubq Quick fitness test. Reads 32 blocks at a time for faster completion, but sacrifices granularity.
-scrubs Sequential seek fitness test.
-scrubr Pseudo-random seek fitness test.
-scrubt Instructs program to terminate any "scrub" family fitness test upon first error with return code
11.
-secure n Destroys all data on the disk by sending n triple-pass iterations of all zeros, ones, and
random bits.
-securecheck n Analyze data on device to confirm randomness and/or erasure patterns. The -n parameter
sets the maximum time in minutes you want it to run. Enter 0 to check entire disk, or use -
securecheckall.
-securecheckall This analyzes the entire disk to validate and report randomness.
-spinq Report whether drive is spun up, down, or in a transitional state.
-spindown Spin the drive down (same as SCSI STOP UNIT command) and wait for drive to spin down
before returning.
-spindowni Spin the drive down (same as SCSI STOP UNIT command) and return immediately after
issuing command.
-spinup Spin the drive up (same as SCSI START UNIT command) and wait for drive to spin
up before returning.
-spinupi Spin the drive up (same as SCSI START UNIT command) and return immediately after
issuing command.
-steb Initiates self-test , extended, background for selected SCSI, SAS, and fibre channel
devices.
-steba ATA/SATA Extended Background Self-Test. Note: This will typically take 1-2 hours, but it
does not lock up the disk.
-stfd Initiates factory default self-test. (Which is vendor/product specific, but generally completes
in one or two minutes).
-stefa ATA/SATA Extended Foreground Self-Test. Note: This will lock up the drive while it runs, do
not perform it on a disk that is mounted by the O/S.
-stsb Initiates self-test , short, background for selected SCSI, SAS, and fibre channel devices.
-stsba ATA/SATA Short Self-Test. (Must complete in under 2 minutes per ANSI specification)
-sta Aborts current self-test for selected SCSI, SAS, and fibre channel devices
-staa Aborts current self-test for selected ATA / SATA disk device.
-str Reports results and status of current and last self-tests for selected SCSI, SAS, and fibre
channel devices.
-stra Reports results and status of current and last self-tests for selected SCSI, SAS, and fibre
channel devices.
-T <EMAIL> Instructs program to send out a test predictive failure alert. The <EMAIL> address is optional.
This may be used with the -LB option.
(Windows users will normally add the -N flag and SMTP server name to specify an account to
