Usage: sg_ses_microcode [--bpw=CS] [--dry-run] [--ealsd] [--help] [--id=ID]
[--in=FILE] [--length=LEN] [--mode=MO] [--non]
[--offset=OFF] [--skip=SKIP] [--subenc=SEID]
[--tlength=TLEN] [--verbose] [--version]
DEVICE
where:
--bpw=CS|-b CS CS is chunk size: bytes per send diagnostic
command (def: 0 -> as many as possible)
can append ',act' to do activate after last
--dry-run|-d skip SCSI commands, do everything else
--ealsd|-e exit after last Send Diagnostic command
--help|-h print out usage message then exit
--id=ID|-i ID buffer identifier (0 (default) to 255)
--in=FILE|-I FILE read from FILE ('-I -' read from stdin)
--length=LEN|-l LEN length in bytes to send (def: deduced from
FILE taking SKIP into account)
--mode=MO|-m MO download microcode mode, MO is number or
acronym (def: 0 -> 'dmc_status')
--non|-N non-standard: bypass all receive diagnostic
results commands except after check condition
--offset=OFF|-o OFF buffer offset (unit: bytes, def: 0);
ignored if --bpw=CS given
--skip=SKIP|-s SKIP bytes in file FILE to skip before reading
--subenc=SEID|-S SEID subenclosure identifier (def: 0 (primary))
--tlength=TLEN|-t TLEN total length of firmware in bytes
(def: 0). Only needed if TLEN>LEN
--verbose|-v increase verbosity
--version|-V print version string and exit
Does one or more SCSI SEND DIAGNOSTIC followed by RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC
RESULTS command sequences in order to download microcode. Use '-m xxx'
to list available modes. With only DEVICE given, the Download Microcode
Status dpage is output.
Options (15)
| Option | Description | Source |
|---|
--bpw, -b CS|-b | CS is chunk size: bytes per send diagnostic command (def: 0 -> as many as possible) can append ',act' to do activate after last | help + man |
--id, -i ID|-i | this option sets the BUFFER ID field in the Download microcode control dpage. | help + man |
--in, -I FILE|-I | read data from file FILE that will be sent with the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command. | help + man |
--length, -l LEN|-l | length in bytes to send (def: deduced from FILE taking SKIP into account) | help + man |
--mode, -m MO|-m | download microcode mode, MO is number or acronym (def: 0 -> 'dmc_status') | help + man |
--offset, -o OFF|-o | this option sets the BUFFER OFFSET field in the Download microcode control dpage. | help + man |
--skip, -s SKIP|-s | this option is only active when --in=FILE is given and FILE is a regular file, rather than stdin. | help + man |
--subenc, -S SEID|-S | subenclosure identifier (def: 0 (primary)) | help + man |
--tlength, -t TLEN|-t | TLEN is the total length in bytes of the microcode to be (or being) downloaded. | help + man |
-d, --dry-run | the actual calls to perform SEND DIAGNOSTIC and RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS commands are skipped when this option is given. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-e, --ealsd | exit after last SEND DIAGNOSTIC command. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-h, --help | output the usage message then exit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-N, --non | allow for non-standard implementations that reset their Download microcode engine after a RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command with the Download microcode status dpage is sent. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-v, --verbose | increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output). (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-V, --version | print the version string and then exit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
