DEVICE
or
sg_luns --test=ALUN [--decode] [--hex] [--lu_cong] [--verbose]
where:
--decode|-d decode all luns into component parts
--help|-h print out usage message
--hex|-H output response in hexadecimal; used twice
shows decoded values in hex
--inhex=FN|-i FN contents of file FN treated as hex and used
instead of DEVICE which is ignored
--inner-hex|-I when --decode given, output decoded values in
hex (def: decimal)
--json[=JO]|-j[=JO] output in JSON instead of plain text
Use --json=? for JSON help
--js-file=JFN|-J JFN JFN is a filename to which JSON output is
written (def: stdout); truncates then writes
--linux|-l show Linux integer lun after T10 representation
--lu_cong|-L decode as if LU_CONG is set; used twice:
decode as if LU_CONG is clear
--maxlen=LEN|-m LEN max response length (allocation length in cdb)
(def: 0 -> 8192 bytes)
--quiet|-q output only ASCII hex lun values
--raw|-r output response in binary
--readonly|-R open DEVICE read-only (def: read-write)
--select=SR|-s SR select report SR (def: 0)
0 -> luns apart from 'well known' lus
1 -> only 'well known' logical unit numbers
2 -> all luns
0x10 -> administrative luns
0x11 -> admin luns + non-conglomerate luns
0x12 -> admin lun + its subsidiary luns
--sinq_inraw=RFN|-Q RFN read raw (binary) standard INQUIRY
response from the RFN filename
--test=ALUN|-t ALUN decode ALUN and ignore most other options
and DEVICE (apart from '-H')
--verbose|-v increase verbosity
--version|-V print version string and exit
Performs a SCSI REPORT LUNS command or decodes the given ALUN. When SR is
0x10 or 0x11 DEVICE must be LUN 0 or REPORT LUNS well known logical unit;
when SR is 0x12 DEVICE must be an administrative logical unit. When the
--test=ALUN option is given, decodes ALUN rather than sending a REPORT
LUNS command.
Options (18)
| Option | Description | Source |
|---|
--inhex, -i FN|-i | FN is expected to be a file name (or '-' for stdin) which contains ASCII hexadecimal or binary representing a REPORT LUNS response. | help + man |
--json JO]|-j[=JO | output in JSON instead of plain text Use --json=? for JSON help | help |
--js-file, -J JFN|-J | JFN is a filename to which JSON output is written (def: stdout); | help + man |
--maxlen, -m LEN|-m | max response length (allocation length in cdb) (def: 0 -> 8192 bytes) | help + man |
--select, -s SR|-s | select report SR (def: 0) 0 -> luns apart from 'well known' lus 1 -> only 'well known' logical unit numbers 2 -> all luns 0x10 -> administrative luns 0x11 -> admin luns + non-conglomerate luns 0x12… | help + man |
--sinq_inraw, -Q RFN|-Q | where RFN is a filename containing binary standard INQUIRY response data that matches either DEVICE or FN. | help + man |
--test, -t ALUN|-t | ALUN is assumed to be a hexadecimal number in ASCII hex or the letter 'L' followed by a decimal number (see below). | help + man |
-d, --decode | decode LUNs into their component parts, as described in the LUN section of SAM-3, SAM-4 and SAM-5. (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 |
-H, --hex | [device mode] when given once this utility will output the SCSI response (i.e. the data-out buffer) to the REPORT LUNS command in ASCII hex then exit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-I, --inner-hex | used together with the --decode option so that the decoded values are shown in hexadecimal. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-l, --linux | this option is only available in Linux. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-L, --lu_cong | this option is only considered with --decode. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-q, --quiet | output only the ASCII hex rendering of each report LUN, one per line. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-r, --raw | output the SCSI response (i.e. the data-out buffer) in binary (to stdout). (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-R, --readonly | open the DEVICE read-only (e.g. in Unix with the O_RDONLY flag). (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 |
