18.Sh NAME
19.Nm zfs_prepare_disk
20.Nd special script that gets run before bringing a disk into a pool
21.Sh DESCRIPTION
22.Nm
23is an optional script that gets called by libzfs before bringing a disk into a
24pool.
25It can be modified by the user to run whatever commands are necessary to prepare
26a disk for inclusion into the pool.
27For example, users can add lines to
28.Nm zfs_prepare_disk
29to do things like update the drive's firmware or check the drive's health.
30.Nm zfs_prepare_disk
31is optional and can be removed if not needed.
32libzfs will look for the script at @zfsexecdir@/zfs_prepare_disk.
33.
34.Ss Properties
35.Nm zfs_prepare_disk
36will be passed the following environment variables:
37.sp
38.Bl -tag -compact -width "VDEV_ENC_SYSFS_PATH"
39.
40.It Nm POOL_NAME
41.No Name of the pool
42.It Nm VDEV_PATH
43.No Path to the disk (like /dev/sda)
44.It Nm VDEV_PREPARE
45.No Reason why the disk is being prepared for inclusion
46('create', 'add', 'replace', or 'autoreplace').
47This can be useful if you only want the script to be run under certain actions.
48.It Nm VDEV_UPATH
49.No Path to one of the underlying devices for the
50disk.
51For multipath this would return one of the /dev/sd* paths to the disk.
52If the device is not a device mapper device, then
53.Nm VDEV_UPATH
54just returns the same value as
55.Nm VDEV_PATH
56.It Nm VDEV_ENC_SYSFS_PATH
57.No Path to the disk's enclosure sysfs path, if available
58.El
59.Pp
60Note that some of these variables may have a blank value.
61.Nm POOL_NAME
62is blank at pool creation time, for example.
63.Sh ENVIRONMENT
64.Nm zfs_prepare_disk
65runs with a limited $PATH.
66.Sh EXIT STATUS
67.Nm zfs_prepare_disk
68should return 0 on success, non-zero otherwise.
69If non-zero is returned, the disk will not be included in the pool.
