· Added -O option to display advanced SMART ATA/SATA error log information. Only supported on LINUX today
(waiting for MSFT O/S patch before it can be added to Win2K/XP/2003.
· (1.23A): Fixed SPARC-Solaris problem that caused program to crash when invoked with -Z option to view disk
state behind Mylex family RAID engines.
· (1.23B): Fixed problem that prevented -str option from sometimes displaying status of a SCSI/Fibre channel
disk drive self-test.
· (1.23B): Enhanced threshold monitoring (-K & -W ) so that it no longer concurrently configures and polls S.M.
A.R.T. disks.
· (1.23C): When reporting status information for array type elements, the program incorrectly assumed that all
elements were the same type. If you had both disks and tapes in an enclosure that reported array status
information, it reported all devices as disks. The same happened when reporting threshold information.
· (1.23C); Function -fchbainfo added that reports fibre channel HBA drivers, BIOS level, model number info
(requires SNIA API library )
· (1.23C): Function -fciostat added that reports fibre channel I/O activity (requires SNIA API library )
· (1.23C): Added additional information to -fc reporting (HBA_GetRNIDMgmtInfo data)
· (1.23C): Various small cosmetic changes to better present information when a particular HBA reports -1 or invalid
data for an unsupported library call.
· (1.23D): Refreshed vendor-unique log page information for all SCSI & Fibre Channel Seagate disk drives. Added
models ST373453FC, ST318453FC, ST336742FC, ST336732L*, ST318452L*, ST318432L*, ST318418*
· (1.23D): LINUX-specific fix added to support discovery of back-end disks when using zero-channel RAID
controllers. This is done by directly adding the /dev/sgn entry to command-line that corresponds to the disk drive. If
you have 5 SCSI disks, you would add /dev/sg[0-4] to the command-line.
· (1.23D): Integration of HP SNIA API logic to executable and installation script. This uses standard libHBAAPI
runtimes bundled with HPUX
· (1.23D): Fixed problem in SAF-TE decoding that assumed temperature was reported in degrees F if reported in
degrees C for some devices.
· (1.23D): SES now also reports SES firmware revision.
· (1.23D): SPARC Solaris & LINUX builds now use a customized libHBAAPISANtools.so (included) to resolve issues
which appear when your system has several HBAs installed from multiple manufacturers.
Version 1.22 (Released August 2003)
· The partition dump feature, -Q , previously limited to SCSI & fibre channel disk drives, now works with all random
access devices, regardless of the interface. It is still limited to Windows and LINUX platforms. Also made a
cosmetic change to the output for better readability. After each item, the program printed a space followed by a
comma. This was changed to a comma followed by a space.
· A feature to read raw blocks (-read ) was added.
· Fixed a problem that caused extraneous text to be entered into the system event log if you ran the program with
the -link , -Q , or a self test option.
· If you had an ATA-1 or ATA-2 compliant disk drive, the program previously did not display this information. (ATA6
and ATA7 disk drives are current revisions).
· A feature to flash drive firmware (-flash ) was added. This only supports Seagate SCSI & Fibre Channel disk
drives today.
· Leading zeros were removed from the output of the -S command, which returns S.M.A.R.T. thresholds for ATA
disks (the feature is only applicable to Windows & LINUX releases).
· Changed "Preformance" to "Performance" in output from -S command.
Version 1.21 (Released July 2003)
· Fixed problem where if device was selected for polling, but not pollable (i.e., not ready), program might crash or
lock up.
· The mpimport function would stop importing pages if the selected page completed but returned with non-zero sense
information. This would be rare, but could happen if device responded with a recovered error condition.
· The -B (mode page editor) function now tolerates a leading bit, i.e., 9C instead of 1C for the mode page field. This
would happen if one was to just dump the single mode page out, make a change, and pipe it back. Some, but not
all devices would automatically ignore this bit. By clearing it for you, it is easier to automate a script to change
individual pages.
· The -Y option (dump defect details) was added. Due to O/S limitations, only the first 4094 defects can be displayed
