--enableLegacyUSBPassthrough

    Only use this option on old USB or IEEE1394 (Firewire) products that do not otherwise work with the tool. This option will enable a trial and error method that attempts sending various ATA Identify commands through vendor specific means. Because of this, certain products that may respond in unintended ways since they may interpret these commands differently than the bridge chip the command was designed for.

--forceATA

    Using this option will force the current drive to be treated as a ATA drive. Only ATA commands will be used to talk to the drive.

--forceATADMA
    (SATA Only)

    Using this option will force the tool to issue SAT commands to ATA device using the protocol set to DMA whenever possible (on DMA commands). This option can be combined with --forceATA

--forceATAPIO
    (SATA Only)

    Using this option will force the tool to issue PIO commands to ATA device when possible. This option can be combined with --forceATA

--forceATAUDMA
    (SATA Only)

    Using this option will force the tool to issue SAT commands to ATA device using the protocol set to UDMA whenever possible (on DMA commands). This option can be combined with --forceATA

--forceSCSI

    Using this option will force the current drive to be treated as a SCSI drive. Only SCSI commands will be used to talk to the drive.

Utility Arguments =================

-d, --device [deviceHandle | all]

    Use this option with most commands to specify the device handle on which to perform an operation. Example: /dev/sg<#> CSMI device handles can be specified as <error<#><#><#>> To run across all devices detected in the system, use the "all" argument instead of a device handle. Example: -d all NOTE: The "all" argument is handled by running the

specified options on each drive detected in the
    OS sequentially. For parallel operations, please use a script opening a separate instance for each device handle.

-F, --scanFlags [option list]

    Use this option to control the output from scan with the options listed below. Multiple options can be combined.

ata - show only ATA (SATA) devices
    usb - show only USB devices scsi - show only SCSI (SAS) devices nvme - show only NVMe devices interfaceATA - show devices on an ATA interface interfaceUSB - show devices on a USB interface interfaceSCSI - show devices on a SCSI or SAS interface interfaceNVME = show devices on an NVMe interface sd - show sd device handles sgtosd - show the sd and sg device handle mapping ignoreCSMI - do not scan for any CSMI devices allowDuplicates - allow drives with both CSMI and PD handles

    to show up multiple times in the list

-i, --deviceInfo

    Show information and features for the storage device

--llInfo

    Dump low-level information about the device to assist with debugging.

-s, --scan

    Scan the system and list all storage devices with logical /dev/sg<#> assignments. Shows model, serial and firmware numbers. If your device is not listed on a scan immediately after booting, then wait 10 seconds and run it again.

-S, --Scan

    This option is the same as --scan or -s, however it will also perform a low level rescan to pick up other devices. This low level rescan may wake devices from low power states and may cause the OS to re-enumerate them. Use this option when a device is plugged in and not discovered in a normal scan. NOTE: A low-level rescan may not be available on all interfaces or all OSs. The low-level rescan is not guaranteed to find additional devices in the system when the device is unable to come to a ready state.

--SATInfo

    Displays SATA device information on any interface using both SCSI Inquiry / VPD / Log reported data (translated according to SAT) and the ATA Identify / Log reported data.

--testUnitReady

    Issues a SCSI Test Unit Ready command and displays the status. If the drive is not ready, the sense key, asc, ascq, and fru will be displayed and a human readable translation from the SPC spec will be displayed if one is available.

--fastDiscovery

Use this option
    to issue a fast scan on the specified drive.

--deviceStatisticsLog

    This option will pull the Device Statistics Log from a device.

--farm

    Pull the Seagate Field Accessible Reliability Metrics (FARM) Log from the specified drive. Saves the binary logs to the current directory as <serialnumber>FARM<date and time>.bin (as default)

--farmCombined

    Pull the Seagate Combined Field Accessible Reliability Metrics (FARM) Log from the specified drive. This log contains a combination of all FARM Sub Log Pages in a single Log File.Saves the binary logs to the current directory as <serialnumber>FARMC<date and time>.FRMC

--getTelemetry [host | current || ctrl | saved]

    Use this option to get the Telemetry data for a device. This log is also known as the internal status log on SATA and SAS devices. Use the --getTelemetry option to control the amount of data collected.

Supported Modes:
    host - get Host initiated Telemetry on NVMe (same as "current") ctrl - get Controller initiated Telemetry on NVMe (Same as "saved" current - get the current internal status log on SAS/SATA saved - get the saved internal status log on SAS/SATA

--listSupportedLogs

    Displays a list of all supported logs by this device type.

--logLength [length in bytes]
    (NVMe Only)

    Use this option to specify the total length of a log to retrieve from a device. This is required for NVMe logs not part of the standards or not currently known by this utility in order to retrieve all the data. The following post fixes are allowed for specifying a transfer length:

BLOCKS or SECTORS - used to specify a transfer length
    in device in 512Byte blocks/sectors

KB - length in kilobytes (val * 1000)
    KiB - length in kibibytes (val * 1024) MB - length in megabytes (val * 1000000) MiB - length in mebibytes (val * 1048576)

--logMode [mode]

    Sets the mode to pull the log. Use this option with --pullLog to set the desired mode

raw - Pulls log & prints it to the
    screen as stdout.

bin - Pulls log & saves it to
    a timestamped binary file. (default)

pipe - Pulls log, prints it to the
    screen as stdout & send the result to openSeaChest_LogParser. (available for FARM only)

--logTransferLength [length in bytes]

    Use this option to specify the data transfer length for a log transfer. Larger transfer sizes may speed up log retrieval at the loss of compatibility. The following post fixes are allowed for specifying a transfer length:

BLOCKS or SECTORS - used to specify a transfer length
    in device in 512Byte blocks/sectors

KB - length in kilobytes (val * 1000)
    KiB - length in kibibytes (val * 1024) MB - length in megabytes (val * 1000000) MiB - length in mebibytes (val * 1048576)

    ATA drives must be given a value in 512B increments. Warning: Specifying a large size may result in failures due to OS, driver, or HBA/bridge specific limitations.

--pullLog [Log Number]

    Pulls specific log number from the device [Log Number] is required argument & can be passed as an decimal or hex value. WARNING: Vendor Unique Logs pulled using this option

may not be valid due to unknown vendor unique
    bits in ATA/SCSI/NVMe etc. command fields.
