Utility Options ===============

--echoCommandLine

Echo the command line entered into the utility on the screen.

--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.
(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
(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
(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.

-h, --help

Show utility options and example usage (this output you see now) Please report bugs/suggestions to seaboard@seagate.com. Include the output of --version information in the email.

--license

Display the Seagate End User License Agreement (EULA).

--modelMatch [model Number]

Use this option to run on all drives matching the provided model number. This option will provide a closest match although an exact match is preferred. Ex: ST500 will match ST500LM0001

--noBanner

Use this option to suppress the text banner that displays each time openSeaChest is run.

--onlyFW [firmware revision]

Use this option to run on all drives matching the provided firmware revision. This option will only do an exact match.

--onlySeagate

Use this option to match only Seagate drives for the options provided

--outputPath [folder]

To set a path to the directory/folder where all logs should be created. The directory/folder must already exist with write permissions If this option is not used, logs are created in the current working folder

-q, --quiet

Run openSeaChest_Logs in quiet mode. This is the same as -v 0 or --verbose 0

-v [0-4], --verbose [0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4]

Show verbose information. Verbosity levels are: 0 - quiet 1 - default 2 - command descriptions 3 - command descriptions and values 4 - command descriptions, values, and data buffers Example: -v 3 or --verbose 3

-V, --version

Show openSeaChest_Logs version and copyright information & exit

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<#> 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
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.
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

-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

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

--listSupportedLogs

Displays a list of all supported logs by this device type.
(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:
in device in 512Byte blocks/sectors
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
screen as stdout.
a timestamped binary file. (default)
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:
in device in 512Byte blocks/sectors
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
bits in ATA/SCSI/NVMe etc. command fields.

--selfTestLog

This option will pull the self test results log from a device. On ATA drives, this will pull the extended SMART self tests result log when it is supported by the device.
SATA Only:
(SATA only)
This option will pull the Identify Device data log from an ATA drive.
(SATA Only)
Use this option to provide copy type while extracting FARM copy type with --farmCombined option. The default mode is "disc"
flash - Pull Flash copy of SATA Farm logs.
(SATA only)
This option will pull the SATA Phy Event Counters log from a SATA drive.
SAS Only:
(SAS Only)
Displays a list of all supported error history buffer IDs supported by the device.
(SAS Only)
Pulls specific error history buffer ID from the device [Buffer ID] is required argument & can be passed as an decimal or hex value. WARNING: Vendor Unique Logs pulled using this option
bits in ATA/SCSI/NVMe etc. command fields.
(SAS only)
This option will pull the SCSI Informational Exceptions log page from a SCSI device.
(SAS Only)
Use this option with the --pullLog option to specify a log subpage to pull. Use this for SCSI Logs. [Subpage Number] can be passed as an decimal or hex value. WARNING: Vendor Unique Logs pulled using this option
bits in ATA/SCSI/NVMe etc. command fields.
