where:
--doff|-d device online (def: 0, only with '--test')
--extdur|-e duration of an extended self-test (from mode page 0xa)
--help|-h print usage message then exit

--maxlen=LEN|-m LEN parameter list length or maximum allocation
length (default: 4096 bytes)
--page=PG|-P PG do RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS only, set PCV
--pf|-p set PF bit (def: 0)
--raw=H,H...|-r H,H... sequence of hex bytes to form diag page to send
--raw=-|-r - read stdin for sequence of bytes to send
--selftest=ST|-s ST self-test code, default: 0 (inactive)
1->background short, 2->background extended
4->abort test
5->foreground short, 6->foreground extended
--test|-t default self-test
--timeout=SECS|-T SECS timeout for foreground self tests
unit: second (def: 7200 seconds)
--uoff|-u unit offline (def: 0, only with '--test')
--verbose|-v increase verbosity
--old|-O use old interface (use as first option)
--version|-V output version string then exit
Performs a SCSI SEND DIAGNOSTIC (and/or a RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS) command
Options (22)
| Option | Description | Source |
|---|
--maxlen, -m LEN|-m | where LEN is the value placed in the parameter list length field of a SEND DIAGNOSTIC command or in the allocation length field of a RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command. | help + man |
--page, -P PG|-P | where PG is the RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command page code field. | help + man |
--raw, -r H | string of comma separated hex numbers each of which should resolve to a byte value (i.e. 0 to ff inclusive). | help + man |
--selftest, -s ST|-s | self-test code, default: 0 (inactive) 1->background short, 2->background extended 4->abort test 5->foreground short, 6->foreground extended | help + man |
--timeout, -T SECS|-T | where SECS is a timeout value (in seconds) for foreground self-test operations. | help + man |
-d, --doff | set the Device Offline (DevOffL) bit (default is clear). (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-e, --extdur | outputs the expected extended self-test duration. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-h, --help | print usage message then exit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-H, --hex | outputs response from RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS in hex rather than decode it. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-l, --list | when a DEVICE is also given lists the names of all diagnostic pages supported by this device. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-O, --old | Switch to older style options. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-p, --pf | set Page Format (PF) bit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-t, --test | sets the _default_ Self Test (SelfTest) bit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-u, --uoff | set the Unit Offline (UnitOffL) bit (default is clear). (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-v, --verbose | increase level of verbosity. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-V, --version | print out version string then exit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-doff | set the Device Offline (DevOffL) bit (default is clear). (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-N, --new | Switch to the newer style options. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-pf | set Page Format (PF) bit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-raw H | string of comma separated hex numbers each of which should resolve to a byte value (i.e. 0 to ff inclusive). (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-uoff | set the Unit Offline (UnitOffL) bit (default is clear). (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-? | output usage message. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
