Notes
-A
Mode page hex dump
No
-J
Mode page text dump
No
-C
Log page text dump
No
-Cx
Log page text dump
No
You will most likely prefer output of -Cx over -C as this
suppresses the trailing [x] on each field that reports the field
size. As a large part of our customers have scripted
commands to parse the output, we chose to implement the
improved results with -Cx rather than break any scripts by
modifying the syntax of -C
-H
-H+
Log page hex dump
No
The -H+ provides same output as the -H, but the -H+ does
a brute force discovery. This is necessary because some
peripherals are not fully ANSI compliant in that they do not
provide a list of log pages. As such the -H attempts to read
every possible log page. This results in a large amount of I/
Os that are likely unnecessary. You would only use the -H+
command if the -H command doesn't report any log pages.
-E
Enclosure status
No
-E+
Extended enclosure status
No
-EF and -EH are related commands.
-I
SCSI Inquiry dump
No
-I+
Extended SCSI inquiry
No
-IS
Return serial number
No
Returns serial number of removable media. (Generally for
auto changers and tape libraries).
-O
IDE (ATA/SATA) inquiry
Possibly
The -O option could take several seconds to complete, so
this might be disruptive. We have seen this command take
almost 30 seconds on disks that have problems.
-Q
Disk/CD partition dump
No
-S
IDE, SATA, ATA S.M.A.R.T.
dump
No
-V
Display version level

unique device information)
-X+

-XT
TapeAlert test
No
Temporarily enables Test function which is not supported on
all tape changers/drives.
-Y
