29.Dt SES 4
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm ses
33.Nd SCSI Environmental Services driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd device ses
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39driver provides support for all
40.Tn SCSI
41devices of the environmental services class that are attached to the system
42through a supported
43.Tn SCSI
44Host Adapter, as well as emulated support for SAF-TE (SCSI Accessible
45Fault Tolerant Enclosures).
46The environmental services class generally are enclosure devices that
47provide environmental information such as number of power supplies (and
48state), temperature, device slots, and so on.
49.Pp
50A
51.Tn SCSI
52Host
53adapter must also be separately configured into the system
54before a
55.Tn SCSI
56Environmental Services device can be configured.
57.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
58It is only necessary to explicitly configure one
59.Nm
60device; data structures are dynamically allocated as devices are found
61on the
62.Tn SCSI
63bus.
64.Pp
65A separate option,
66.Va SES_ENABLE_PASSTHROUGH ,
67may be specified to allow the
68.Nm
69driver to perform functions on devices of other classes that claim to
70also support
71.Nm
72functionality.
73.Sh IOCTLS
74The following
75.Xr ioctl 2
76calls apply to
77.Nm
78devices.
79They are defined in the header file
80.In cam/scsi/scsi_enc.h
81(\fIq.v.\fR).
82.Bl -tag -width ENCIOC_GETENCSTAT
83.It Dv ENCIOC_GETNELM
84Used to find out how many
85.Nm
86elements are driven by this particular device instance.
87.It Dv ENCIOC_GETELMMAP
88Read, from the kernel, an array of SES elements which contains
89the element identifier, which subenclosure it is in, and the
90.Nm
91type of the element.
92.It Dv ENCIOC_GETENCSTAT
93Get the overall enclosure status.
94.It Dv ENCIOC_SETENCSTAT
95Set the overall enclosure status.
96.It Dv ENCIOC_GETELMSTAT
97Get the status of a particular element.
98.It Dv ENCIOC_SETELMSTAT
99Set the status of a particular element.
100.It Dv ENCIOC_GETTEXT
101Get the associated help text for an element (not yet implemented).
102.Nm
103devices often have descriptive text for an element which can tell
104you things like location (e.g., "left power supply").
105.It Dv ENCIOC_INIT
106Initialize the enclosure.
107.It Dv ENCIOC_GETELMDESC
108Get the element's descriptor string.
109.It Dv ENCIOC_GETELMDEVNAMES
110Get the device names, if any, associated with this element.
111.It Dv ENCIOC_GETSTRING
112Used to read the SES String In Diagnostic Page.
113The contents of this page are device-specific.
114.It Dv ENCIOC_SETSTRING
115Used to set the SES String Out Diagnostic Page.
116The contents of this page are device-specific.
117.It Dv ENCIOC_GETENCNAME
118Used to get the name of the enclosure.
119.It Dv ENCIOC_GETENCID
120Used to get the Enclosure Logical Identifier.
121.El
122.Sh EXAMPLE USAGE
123The files contained in
124.In /usr/share/examples/ses
125show simple mechanisms for how to use these interfaces, as well as a
126very stupid simple monitoring daemon.
127.Sh FILES
128.Bl -tag -width /dev/rsdXXXXX -compact
129.It Pa /dev/ses Ns Ar N
130The
131.Em Nth
132.Nm SES
133device.
134.El
135.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
136When the kernel is configured with
137.Tn DEBUG
138enabled, the first open to an SES device will spit out overall enclosure
139parameters to the console.
140.Sh SEE ALSO
141.Xr sesutil 8
142.Sh HISTORY
143The
144.Nm
145driver was originally written for the
146.Tn CAM
147.Tn SCSI
148subsystem by Matthew Jacob and first released in
149.Fx 4.3 .
150It was a functional equivalent of a similar
151driver available in Solaris, Release 7.
152It was largely rewritten by Alexander Motin, Justin Gibbs, and Will Andrews for
153.Fx 9.2 .
