use).
-sq Suppress logging successful polling messages in the system event log.
-sqq Suppress all logging into the system event log.
-wsbyte hexbytevalue Writes the hex byte value to every block on the selected device using the
efficient WRITE SAME command.
-wsbyteconfirm hexbytevalue Writes the hex byte value to every block on the selected device using the
efficient WRITE SAME command. The -wsbyteconfirm command does not ask an are-you-
sure question, so it can easily be scripted.
-wsc This optional command can be used with both -wsbyte and -wsbyteconfirm, and it
instructs the program to immediately terminate after a write error on the disk drive.
-V Displays version number information and exits program.
-V+ This displays all of the vendor-specific statistical fields the program is aware of.
-verify Instructs disks to read/verify all sectors on the device. Bad blocks will be reported. (This runs
mostly within the disk firmware so it is very fast). The command is supported under all SAS/
FC/SCSI disks as well as SATA/ATA disks under windows only.
-Wfilename Enables threshold monitoring , using parameters defined in filename. Combine this
command with the -F option and a list of desired SCSI/FC devices. The configuration file,
filename created interactively with the -K command. Example: -F 60 -
WUnrecoveredWriteDaemon.cfg
Important: there must NOT be any white space between the -W and the filename. (If
you leave white space, then the program will incorrectly interpret the next option as a
physical device name)
-wcd Disable write cache. This disables a SCSI/SAS/SSA or Fibre channel disk drive's write
cache. (The function is currently not supported on IDE or SATA disks).
-wce Enable write cache. This enables a SCSI/SAS/SSA or Fibre channel disk drive's write cache.
(The function is currently not supported on IDE or SATA disks).
-wp Write-protect test. This performs a test to see if media (typically tape) is write protected.
-X Polls selected tape devices that support the TapeAlert feature. (This can be equated to S.
M.A.R.T. for disk drives).
-XT TapeAlert Test. This enables test mode, does single poll, disables test mode, then exits. It
should not be run on tapes/auto changers currently in use.
-X+ Reports all TapeAlert components that the selected tapes are capable of reporting. Note: Not
all tape drives can be queried to learn exactly what TapeAlert flags it supports. Program
terminates after displaying this information.
-Y Dumps factory and grown defect lists for selected disk devices.
-z Report physical and logical drive information for selected IBM, SGI and Engenio (formerly
LSI) RAID engines.
-Z Report physical and logical drive status for subsystems using Mylex fibre channel external
RAID engines. Supported engines are FF, FFX, FF2, FFx2, also known as the SANArray Pro
family. All engines must be running FW 7.0 or higher. [Mylex RAID]
-ZA start# n Display n RAID event log entries >= starting# (if n=0, display all events) [Mylex RAID]
Example: smartmon-ux -ZA 3440 32 /dev/sgj would dump up to 32 events starting at
event #3440
-ZL Display all RAID event log entries. [Mylex RAID]. This option may be run without the -Z flag).
-ZM Report Mylex SAN-Mapping table
-zd[x] Report physical and logical drive info for selected LSI-MPT family RAID engines. The -x
suffice reports extended information.
-zdL Report LSI-MPT RAID event log
-zdq Report LSI-MPT physical disk status and serial numbers
-zi Report physical and logical drive information for Infortrend-family RAID engines.
-zie Display enclosure state summary and full event log [Infortrend RAID].
-ziL Display all RAID event log entries [Infortrend RAID].
-zm Continuously monitor Infortrend event log rather than just dump and exit.
-zix Report detailed back-end drive information [Infortrend RAID]. This should be run during a
maintenance window.
-ziA start# n Display n RAID event log entries >= starting# (if n=0, display all events) [Infortrend RAID]
-z3[x] Report physical and logical drive info for selected 3ware (AMCC) family RAID engines. The
