NAME

       ses - SCSI enclosure services device driver

SYNOPSIS

       ses@target,lun

DESCRIPTION

       The   ses  device  driver is an interface to SCSI enclosure services devices. These devices sense and monitor the physical conditions in an
       enclosure as well as allow access to the status reporting and configuration features of the enclosure (such as indicator LEDs on the enclo-
       sure.)

       ioctl(9E) calls may be issued to ses to determine the state of the enclosure and to set parameters on the enclosure services device.

       No ses driver properties are defined. Use the ses.conf file to configure the ses driver.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 ses.conf File Format

       The following is an example of the ses.conf file format:

	       target=15 lun=0;

IOCTLS

       The  SES  driver currently supports the SES, SAFTE and SEN enclosure service chipsets. SEN and SAFTE protocols are translated internally in
       the driver into SES compliant data structures. This enables the SES driver to work seamlessly with  different protocols and eliminates  the
       need to enhance user applications.

       SESIOC_GETNOBJ	    Returns an unsigned integer that represents the number of SES data structures in the enclosure services chip.

       SESIOC_GETOBJMAP     Returns  a	size  array containing ses_object elements communicated through SESIOC_GETNOBJ(). ses_object is defined in
			    sesio.h.

       SESIOC_INIT	    Instructs the device to perform a self-diagnostic test. Currently SES & SEN devices always return success.

       SESIOC_GETENCSTAT    Returns an unsigned character that represents status enclosure as defined by Table 25 in  Section  7.1.2  of  the  SES
			    specification NCITS 305-199x.

       SESIOC_GETOBJSTAT    This ioctl is passed an ses_objarg containing the obj_id you want to set, then fills in the remaining fields according
			    to element status page of the SES specification.

       SESIOC_SETOBJSTAT    Sets options in the control field. You set control field options by filling out all fields in ses_objarg. Field  defi-
			    nitions are presented in Section 7.2.2 of the SES specification.

NAME

       sesio - enclosure services device driver interface

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/sesio.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The  ses device driver provides the following ioctls as a means to access SCSI enclosure services devices.

IOCTLS

       The  ses driver supports the following ioctls:

       SES_IOCTL_GETSTATE    This ioctl obtains enclosure state in the	ses_ioctl structure.

       SES_IOCTL_SETSTATE    This  ioctl  is  used  to	set  parameters on the enclosure services device. The  ses_ioctl structure is used to pass
			     information into the driver.

ERRORS

       EIO	 The ses driver was unable to obtain data from the enclosure services device or the  data transfer could not be completed.

       ENOTTY	 The  ses driver does not support the requested ioctl function.

       ENXIO	 The enclosure services device does not exist.

       EFAULT	 The user specified a bad data length.

STRUCTURES

       The  ses_ioctl structure has the following fields:

	 uint32_t;		 /* Size of buffer that follows */
	 uint8_t page_code:	 /* Page to be read/written */
	 uint8_t reserved[3];	 /* Reserved; Set to 0 */
	 unit8t  buffer[1];	 /* Size arbitrary, user specifies */

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Using the  SES_IOCTL_GETSTATE ioctl

       The following example uses the  SES_IOCTL_GETSTATE ioctl to recover 20 bytes of page 4 from a previously opened device.

	 char	abuf[30];
	 struct ses_ioctl *sesp;
	 int	status;
	 sesp = (ses_ioctl *)abuf;
	 sesp->size = 20;
	 sesp->page_code = 4;
	 status = ioctl(fd, SES_IOCTL_GETSTATE, abuf);

ATTRIBUTES

       See  attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Architecture		     |SPARC			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
