SeaChest_Erase.Lin.txt Revision: 08-May-2018 =============================================================================== SeaChest_Erase for Linux - Seagate drive utilities Copyright (c) 2014-2018 Seagate Technology LLC and/or its Affiliates, All Rights Reserved SeaChest_Erase Version: 1.7.3 Build Date: May 07 2018 =============================================================================== Welcome to Seagate's SeaChest_Erase diagnostic software. SeaChest_Erase is a comprehensive command line tool that can be used to efficiently erase data on Seagate disk drives (this includes Seagate, Maxtor, Samsung and LaCie). NOTE: SeaChest_Erase may not be fully functional on non-Seagate drives. This User Guide file contains important information about SeaChest_Erase. Please read this entire file before using this software. Some of the erase options will require you to enable ATA Trusted Trusted Computing Group (TCG) commands support for your Linux operating system. Please see the section below "Enabling TCG Commands In Linux" for information about this requirement. If this is your drive, you should always keep a current backup of your important data. If this is not your drive and the original owner has no claim of ownership to it or the data stored on it, then you may still be responsible for the data in your possession. To protect yourself from potential liability and to protect the previous owner's privacy, you should remove all data by performing a data erasure on this drive. Be very careful because using SeaChest_Erase will cause data loss. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data. Important note: Many tests in this tool directly reference storage device data sectors, also known as Logical Block Addresses (LBA). Test arguments may require a starting LBA or an LBA range. The predefined variable 'maxLBA' refers to the last sector on the drive. Many older SATA and SAS storage controllers (also known as Host Bus Adapters [HBA]) have a maximum addressable limit of 4294967295 [FFFFh] LBAs hard wired into their design. This equates to 2.1TB using 512 byte sectors. This also means accessing an LBA beyond the 2.1TB limitation either will result in an error or simply the last readable LBA (usually LBA 4294967295 [FFFFh]) depending on the actual hardware. This limitation can have important consequences. For example, if you intended to erase a 4TB drive, then only the first 2TB will actually get erased (or maybe even twice!) and the last 2TB will remain untouched. You should carefully evaluate your system hardware to understand if your storage controllers provide support for greater than 2.1TB. Usage ===== SeaChest_Erase [-d ] {arguments} {options} Examples ======== SeaChest_Erase --scan SeaChest_Erase -d /dev/sg2 -i SeaChest_Erase --device /dev/sg1 --sanitize info Utility arguments ================= -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 (note the capital letter S) 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 diagnostic 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. -F, --scanFlags [option list] Use this option with -s to control the output from scan with the options listed below. Multiple options can be combined. sd - show /dev/sd? device handles sgtosd - show the sd and sg device handle mapping ata - show only ATA (SATA) devices usb - show only USB devices scsi - show only SCSI (SAS)) devices interfaceATA - show devices on an ATA interface interfaceUSB - show devices on a USB interface interfaceSCSI - show devices on a SCSI or SAS interface Examples of combining two options: -s --scanFlags usb scsi - show only USB and SAS devices --scan -F ata interfaceSCSI - show only SATA nearline drives on a SAS adapter -d, --device Use this option with all commands, except --scan, to specify the sg device handle (target drive) on which to perform an operation. See the section below 'Tool Usage Hints' for information about defining multiple device handles. Example: -d /dev/sg5 -i, --deviceInfo Show information and features for the storage device. USB devices will show the product name, serial and firmware numbers as communicated by the USB-SATA bridge. Add--usbChildInfo to display details about the drive within the USB enclosure. --SATInfo (SATA only) 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 A simple check to see if the device responds to commands from interface. Ready or Not Ready are the outputs. Not Ready results will also include the full SCSI Sense Code. --displayLBA [LBA | maxLBA] This option will read and display the contents of the specified LBA to the screen. The display format is hexadecimal with an ASCII translation on the side (when available). The predefined text string "maxLBA" (without quotes) may be entered to indicate the last sector on the drive instead of the specific LBA number. --showEraseSupport This option checks the drive to determine which methods of data erasure are supported and lists them, from fastest to slowest. Gives overwrite erase time estimate. --poll Use this option to cause another operation to poll for progress until it has completed. This argument does not return to the command prompt and prints ongoing completion percentages (%) and the final test result. Full drive procedures will take a very long time. Used with --sanitize, --secureErase (SATA), --writeSame (SATA), or --formatUnit (SAS). --progress [sanitize, format] Get the progress for a test that was started quietly (default) specify a test to check progress. The progress counts up from 0% to 100%. --disableATASecurityPW [SeaChest | ASCIIPW] [user | master] Use this option to disable an ATA security password. If a drive lost power during an ATA Security Erase in SeaChest, then using the option "SeaChest" with 'user' will remove the temporary password set by the utility. To disable a password set by a BIOS, the BIOS must have set the password in ASCII. A BIOS may choose to hash the password typed in the configuration however it chooses and this utility has no idea how to match what the BIOS has done so it may not always work to remove a password set by something other than this utility. Some commands like --scan and --deviceInfo and will still run on a locked drive. Note: See the section below "When drives are reported Security "Frozen" by SeaChest". --showPhysicalElementStatus Use this option to see the status/health of the storage elements inside a drive. Use the element # shown with the --removePhysicalElement option to remove that storage element from use. This option can also be used to see if a depopulation is still in progress or if it has completed. See the section below 'Interpreting Head Health and Status' for more information. --forceSeagateDepop (Seagate Only) Use this option to force using Seagate's vendor unique method of seeing and removing storage elements from use. This is a legacy method and the default mode is to use the ACS4 or SBC4 methods when available. Utility Options =============== -h, --help Show utility options and example usage (this output you see now) -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 -q, --quiet Run SeaChest_Erase in quiet mode. This is the same as -v0 or --verbose 0 -V, --version Show SeaChest_Erase version and copyright information & exit --license Display the Seagate End User License Agreement (EULA). --echoCommandLine Shows the command line above the banner in the standard output. Useful when saving output to logs. --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 may respond in unintended ways since they may interpret these commands differently than the bridge chip the command was designed for. --hideLBACounter Use this option to supress the output from options that show LBA counters without turning off all output to the screen. --sat12byte This forces the lower layer code to issue SAT spec ATA Pass-through 12-byte commands when possible instead of 16-byte commands. By default, 16-byte commands are always used for ATA Pass-through. USB products may need this option as a workaround if the default does not perform. --onlySeagate Use this option to match only Seagate drives for the options provided. --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. The option --childModelMatch may be used to match drives in USB enclosures. Note: See the section below 'Tool Usage Hints' for information about defining multiple device handles. --onlyFW [firmware revision] Use this option to run on all drives matching the provided firmware revision. This option will only do an exact match. The option --childOnlyFW may be used to match drives in USB enclosures. --hours [hours] Use this option to specify a time in hours for a timed operation to run. --minutes [minutes] Use this option to specify a time in minutes for a timed operation to run. --seconds [seconds] Use this option to specify a time in seconds for a timed operation to run. --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. Data Destructive Commands (Seagate Only) ======================================== Data destructive commands will require additional command line arguments as confirmation of your understanding that data will be lost on the drive. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data. Note: The time required to erase an entire drive may take several hours. The erase time length is slightly longer than the time it takes to read the entire drive. The SeaChest --deviceInfo command output has a line similar to this example: 'Long Drive Self Test Time: 1 hour 38 minutes'. You can use the reported time for your drive as being less than the time necessary to erase the entire drive. --confirm I-understand-this-command-will-erase ... etc --performQuickestErase (Seagate Only) This option checks the drive to determine which methods of data erasure are supported and determines which is the quickest to erase ALL data on the drive. It then starts the quickest erase. Combine this option with the --poll option to enable polling for progress on the fastest erase. See also --showEraseSupport. Note 1: Some erase methods require polling and will have polling enabled by default. Note 2: If revertSP is the fastest, it will not be started since the drive PSID must be passed in on the command line. Note 3: See the section below "When drives are reported Security "Frozen" by SeaChest". --sanitize [info | blockerase | cryptoerase | overwrite | freezelock | antifreezelock] Use the info argument to show supported sanitize operations. Optionally, use blockerase, cryptoerase, or overwrite to start a sanitize operation. Example:--sanitize info Example:--sanitize blockerase * blockerase on some solid state drives (SSD) is very fast at less than one (1) second, while on other SSDs it can take longer than 30 seconds. It performs a physical low level block erase operation on all current, past and potential user data making previous data irretrievable. * cryptoerase is very fast at less than one (1) second. It changes the internal encryption keys that are used for user data causing all previous data to be useless. * overwrite physically overwrites all current, past and potential user data. The ATA specification gives overwrite the option to set a user defined pattern and multiple passes. SeaChest_Erase will use zeros (0) and one pass. Overwrite on hard disk drives (HDD) takes a very long time to complete at approximately three (3) hours per TeraByte. Once this command starts it must finish the overwrite erase before normal use of the drive is returned. Even if a power reset is performed during overwrite erase the drive will continue from where it was stopped until it reaches the end of the of erasure. Automatic sector reallocation (repair) is permitted during the operation of this function. The optional --poll argument does not return to the command prompt and prints ongoing completion percentages (%) and the final test result. Otherwise, the Sanitize command begins and immediately returns to the command prompt. Use the --progress sanitize command to check on the completion percentage (%) and test result. * freezelock is a command to block processing of sanitize operations until a power cycle is performed on a device. It is only available on ATA drives. Once this command has been sent, the freezelock status becomes immediate and cannot be cleared until the drive has been powered off. All sanitize commands, except a sanitize status will be aborted. * antifreezelock is a command which is designed to block a freezelock command from locking out the sanitize feature set. It is only available on ATA drives that support the ACS3, or higher specification. --secureErase [normal | enhanced] (SATA only) Use the normal or enhanced argument to start an ATA security erase on a device. ATA Security Erase on standard drives (non-SED) takes a very long time to complete at approximately three (3) hours per TeraByte. Self Encrypting Drives (SED) may run an quick cryptographic erase by changing the drive's encryption keys. The industry standard command ATA Security Erase begins by locking the drive with a temporary password which is cleared at the end of the erasure. Do not run this command unless you have ample time to allow it to run through to the end. If the procedure is interrupted prior to completion, then the drive will remain in a locked state and you must manually restart it from the beginning. The temporary password to unlock the drive is "SeaChest", plain ASCII letters without the quotes. If the drive reports that it is freezelocked, then this is usually put on by a BIOS command at startup. After the operating system is finished booting you can try removing the power to just the hard drive. This should allow it to restart without the freezelock command. * normal writes binary zeros (0) to all user data areas. * enhanced writes binary zeros (0) to all user data areas, including sectors that are no longer in use due to reallocation. Not all drives support the enhanced mode. For some models (ISE enabled), enhanced mode erase can take seconds because it uses crypto erase internally. Note: See the section below "When drives are reported Security "Frozen" by SeaChest". --overwrite [starting LBA | maxLBA] Use this option to start an overwrite erase at the specified starting LBA. Use 0 for the starting LBA to mean the beginning of the drive. The predefined text string "maxLBA" (without quotes) may be entered to indicate the last sector on the drive instead of the specific LBA number. The overwrite data pattern will be all zeros (0000... etc) for the specified range. You must combine this option with either the --overwriteRange to set the range count of the erasure, or the time settings (--minutes, etc. see above). Example: --overwrite 0 --overwriteRange 1000000 --overwrite 0 --hours 1 --minutes 30 Important: If the end of the drive is reached before the time is up, the operation will continue at the beginning of the drive until the specified time is finished. This means your starting LBA may not be the lowest LBA erased. Use --overwrite and --overwriteRange together instead for more control of the starting and ending LBAs. This test always issues write commands to the drive. No TRIM or UNMAP commands are used during this operation. Note: This erase may be used on HDD (hard disk drive) or SSD (solid state disk) devices, although not advised for SSD because it impacts endurance life due to abnormal write activity. --overwriteRange [LBA count] Use with the --overwrite option to specify a range of LBAs to erase on the selected drive. If the starting LBA and the range count together exceed the MaxLBA (last sector of the drive) then the test will end at the MaxLBA. Also, if this command is omitted then the end of the drive is assumed and the test will end at the MaxLBA. --trim [starting LBA | maxLBA] (SATA only) --unmap [starting LBA | maxLBA] (SAS only) Use this option to start a TRIM (SATA) or UNMAP (SAS) operation at the specified starting LBA. Use 0 for the starting LBA to mean the beginning of the drive. The predefined text string "maxLBA" (without quotes) may be entered to indicate the last sector on the drive instead of the specific LBA number. These commands are common on SSD devices and less common on HDDs. You must combine this option with the corresponding --trimRange or --unmapRange to set the range of the operation. --trimRange [LBA count] (SATA only) --unmapRange [LBA count] (SAS only) Use one of these options to specify a range of LBAs to TRIM or UNMAP on a drive. A starting point must be specified with the corresponding --trim or --unmap option. If the starting LBA and the range count together exceed the MaxLBA (last sector of the drive) then the test will end at the MaxLBA. Also, if this command is omitted then the end of the drive is assumed and the test will end at the MaxLBA. --writeSame [starting LBA | maxLBA] Use this option to start a WRITE SAME erase at the specified starting LBA. Use 0 for the starting LBA to mean the beginning of the drive. The predefined text string "maxLBA" (without quotes) may be entered to indicate the last sector on the drive instead of the specific LBA number. The Write Same data pattern will be all zeros (0000... etc) for the specified range. You must combine this option with the --writeSameRange to set the range of the erasure. On SCSI devices, this uses the writesame16 command. On ATA devices, this uses the SCT writesame feature. Note: For SATA drives, adding the --poll option will cause this operation to poll for progress until complete. This is not available on SAS and SCSI drives because SCSI drives do not report the progress on a Write Same operation. --writeSameRange [LBA count] Use with the --writeSame option to specify a range of LBAs to erase on the selected drive. If the starting LBA and the range count together exceed the MaxLBA (last sector of the drive) then the test will end at the MaxLBA. Also, if this command is omitted then the end of the drive is assumed and the test will end at the MaxLBA. --revert This command is very fast at less than one (1) second. It changes the internal encryption keys that are used for user data causing all previous data to be useless. This operation performs an Opal SSC specification Revert on a Self Encrypting Drive (SED). This operation is only available on Seagate TCG Opal drives. Seagate SED drives are marked on the label with the words "Seagate Secure". No all Seagate SED drives are TCG Opal compliant. In order to complete this operation, the lockingSP must not be activated, as this option will activate it in order to perform the revert. The value of SID, must also be the value of MSID as this operation must authenticate as SID using the value of MSID. Upon completion, the drive will be "like new" with all user data being cryptographically erased and all other settings set to factory defaults. If this operation fails, use --revertSP instead. Note: See the section below "Enabling TCG Commands In Linux". --revertSP DrivePSID This command is very fast at less than one (1) second. It changes the internal encryption keys that are used for user data causing all previous data to be useless. This operation performs an Opal SSC specification revertSP on a Self Encrypting Drive (SED). This operation is available on all Seagate SED drives which are marked on the label with the words "Seagate Secure". The PSID (Physical Security IDentification number) is a 32-digit number & capital letter sequence printed on the label. There is no electronic query for this number, therefore the drive must be removed in order to read the PSID number. Many drives have a PSID code on the label but are NOT marked as "Seagate Secure"; these drives do not support revertSP cryptographic erase. Enter the PSID without spaces. FIVE attempts are allowed before a power cycle is required. It can also be read by 2D barcode reader. Upon completion, the drive will be "like new" with all user data being cryptographically erased and all other settings set to factory defaults. Example: --revertSP 123ALL32DIGITS123ALL32DIGITS123A Note: See the section below "Enabling TCG Commands In Linux". --formatUnit [current | new sector size] (SAS Only) (Seagate Only) This option will start a format unit operation on a SAS drive Use "current" to perform a format unit operation with the Sector size currently being used, otherwise enter a new sector size to use upon format completion. Valid sector sizes are given by the --showSupportedSectorSizes command (see above) or listed in the device Product Manual. This command will erase all data on the drive. The security initialize feature is not used and protection information will not be set. Combine this option with --poll or --progress to check for completion status until the format is complete. Warning: Once a Format Unit command is started it must be allowed to finish in order to calculate the total number of logical blocks (LBAs) at the finish. If the sector size has changed then there will be a corresponding change to the total number of LBAs. If a device stops a Format Unit before it completes then the device will report a "Corrupted Format" sense code, "03-31". Restart the format and allow it to finish to correct this error. --fastFormat [fast format mode] (SAS Only) (SBC4 required) You must use this option with the --formatUnit option to run a fast format. Available fast format modes: 0 - This is a standard format unit command. All logical blocks will be overwritten. This command will take a very long time. 1 - This is a fast format unit command keeping existing data in the physical sector. This option can be used to quickly change the the logical sector size between 5xx emulation and 4xxx native logical block sizes. Resulting LBA (sector) count is either /8 or *8 the current Read Capacity, depending on the direction of the conversion. The media may be readable, but data may be unspecified or may return errors on read access according to it's error processing algorithms. 2 - This is a fast format unit command that can change the logical sector size quickly. Media may or may not be read accessible until a write has been performed to the media. Example: --formatUnit 512 --fastFormat 1 --confirm I-... etc Example: --formatUnit 4096 --fastFormat 1 --confirm I-... etc Note: There is no electronic method to test if a SAS drive supports Fast Format. Refer to the drive product manual to determine if it supports the sub-command. --pattern [repeat:asciinospaces | random | increment:startValue | file:filename] Use this option with overwrite, sanitize, and format unit operations to write a specific pattern to a range of LBAs or the whole drive. * repeat - without spaces, enter an ASCII text string or a hexadecimal string terminated by a lower case "h". This pattern will be repeated until it fills the logical size of the LBA. i.e. helloword or FFFFFFFFh Note: A hexadecimal pattern will be interpreted as a 32bit unsigned integer. 4 hex bytes (8 characters) must be given for a hex value to be used. Ex: 1F037AC8h or 0000FFFFh * random - the entire logical sector size will be filled with random bytes. This pattern will be written to all LBAs in the desired range. * increment - enter the starting numerical value. Starting with this value, each byte will be written with 1 + previous value. * file - user supplied file name to use for a pattern. The file will be truncated or padded with zeros to the logical sector size. Note 1: Each file will be interpreted as a binary file. Note 2: A path must also be provided if the file is not in the local directory. Note 3: Sanitize Overwrite on SATA only supports a 32bit pattern. The file option will get truncated to a 32bit pattern for SATA products. --removePhysicalElement [element #] (Seagate Only) Use this option to remove a storage element from use on a drive. When this is done, the drive will erase all user data and lower the capacity to a new point where the drive is still usable without the provided element #. Use the --showPhysicalElementStatus option to see the status of the depopulation operation. Return codes ============ 0 No Error Found 1 Error in command line options 2 Invalid Device Handle or Missing Device Handle 3 Operation Failure 4 Operation not supported 5 Operation Aborted 6 File Path Not Found 7 Cannot Open File 8 File Already Exists Anything else = unknown error ================ Tool Usage Hints ================ See Sample Output examples below. Note: See the section below "Enabling TCG Commands In Linux". First, run the SeaChest_Erase -s option to determine what /dev/sg? device handle assignment lines up to your disk drive. This option will also show you other details about the drive including the current firmware revision. Like this: Vendor Handle Model Number Serial Number FwRev ATA /dev/sg0 ST94813AS 3AA043KP 3.03 SEAGATE /dev/sg1 ST1000NM0011 ZAA15VAS SN03 You can use SeaChest -s --onlySeagate to limit the display to just Seagate. All utility arguments will require you to identify the specific drive by providing the sg device handle (-d, --device). For example, SeaChest_Erase -d /dev/sg1 --deviceInfo You may combine multiple tests with a single command line. For example, SeaChest_Basics -d /dev/sg0 -i --smartCheck runs both identify and SMART. Multiple device handles can be given by adding -d /dev/sg# for each additional handle. Devices are processed in sequential order. For example, SeaChest_Basics -d /dev/sg0 -d /dev/sg3 -i runs identify on these two devices. Caution: All device handles may be specified. However, great care should be taken to fully anticipate the consequences of running a command on all storage devices in a system. For example, a command to erase data on all drives could be catastrophic or exactly what you want. The shortcut to select all devices is -d all. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data. Along with the designation for all devices, you can narrow the tasks to specific types of drives by using the --onlySeagate, --modelMatch and --onlyFW filters. Tests which alter the firmware or erase user data on the drive are limited to Seagate-only products which include Seagate, Maxtor, Samsung and LaCie. Tests which take a very long time to complete or erase all user data on the drive will require a longer command line argument than indicated in the --help output to the screen. This approach is taken to eliminate the possibility of accidental data loss or the commitment of long test times. The longer command arguments are similar to "I-understand-this-command-will-take-a-long-time" or "I-understand-this-command-will-erase-all-data". Advanced SAS installations may use dual ports. These are listed as Port 0 and Port 1 on the device information report. When both ports are active, each one may have a unique /dev/sg designation. The scan option may indicate that there are two drives in the system with the same serial number. Dual port installations will also report two different Worldwide Numbers (WWN). When drives are reported Security "Frozen" by SeaChest ------------------------------------------------------ Note: Your system or the SeaChest software may report that a SATA password cannot be changed because it is "frozen". Many systems BIOS will automatically set the ATA SECURITY FREEZE LOCK command on all SATA drives at start up. The SECURITY FREEZE LOCK command prevents changes to all Security states until a following power-on reset or hardware reset. The purpose of the SECURITY FREEZE LOCK command is to prevent password setting attacks on the security system. The SeaChest --deviceInfo command will display something similar to this: "ATA Security Information: Supported, Frozen". To disable Freeze Lock, first check your BIOS SATA disk options to control the setting at start up. Otherwise, you might pause the boot up shortly after powering on the system and then temporarily remove the power to the security frozen drive (let it completely spin down). When the power is back on the drive it will start without being frozen. Windows systems may also decide not to recognize the drive if it is ATA Security Locked and it will not be listed by the SeaChest --scan command. If the drive remains undetected in Windows, your alternative is to make a bootable USB flash drive and run SeaChest_Erase from the Linux operating system. Interpreting Head Health and Status ----------------------------------- Beginning in 2016, some Seagate nearline drives started to support the Remanufacture command set which allows a disk drive with a manageable read/write head problem to remain in service at a reduced capacity by "depopulating" the head element. You can check if a drive supports the Remanufacture command set by running --deviceInfo and looking for 'Storage Element Depopulation' in the list of supported features. (Not to be confused with 'SATA Rebuild Assist' which is a feature used to rebuild RAID systems.) A drive failure (due to a head problem) that is easily removed from the system is replaced with a spare drive. A drive that is nearly inaccessible may make sense to remain in the system at a reliable lesser capacity by depopulating the problem head. If supported by the drive, the --showPhysicalElementStatus command will display a simple table showing head number, type, health, and status. The Health level is represented like a percentage, 0-100. 0 is perfectly healthy, 100 = at manufacturer's limit, above this to 207 is above the manufacturer's limit. A report of 254 means a depopulate is in progress. The Status levels are active, in limit, degraded, truncated, truncate failed. If a drive head has developed isolated, degraded performance, and does not affect any other reliability in the system, then the head can be removed from service. A drive with seven platters and fourteen heads would lose 1/14th of its storage capacity, or ~7%. Likewise, a four head drive would lose 25%. If a drive is reported as "degraded" by --showPhysicalElementStatus then it can be depopulated using the --removePhysicalElement command. When a head is depopulated the drive must perform a complete full pack write; this is obviously data destructive and takes a very long time to complete. When disk drives are built the post assembly factory process includes media scanning, any defects mapping, defining sector sizes, and establishing system, cache and data zones. This activity is generically known as a low-level format. During head depopulation (i.e. removing a physical element) the drive performs a kind of 'mid-level format' using Sanitize Overwrite which has the unique behavior that once started it must finish. If power is interrupted during a Sanitize Overwrite it will pick up again where it left off when power returns. ============================== Enabling TCG Commands In Linux ============================== Abstract -------- The SeaChest_Erase --revert and --revertSP commands require specific support be enabled in the Linux kernel. This document describes the process to enable support for sending ATA Trusted Trusted Computing Group (TCG) commands in Linux. The focus is on how to do this through Ubuntu Linux 14.04LTS, however, the process should apply to other Linux’s as well although others may vary slightly. Modifying The GRUB Configuration File (Ubuntu example used) ----------------------------------------------------------- In order to make the change to allow TCG commands persist across reboots, you must modify the kernel boot parameters. In Ubuntu, this is accomplished by modifying the GRUB 2 configuration file. This section references the Grub2 configuration documentation from the Ubuntu Community: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Setup#Configuring_GRUB_2 Follow these steps to perform this modification in Ubuntu (other Linux’s may be similar). 1. You must modify the file /etc/default/grub. You can do this by running "sudo gedit /etc/default/grub" 2. Once this file is open in the editor of your choice, add "libata.allow_tpm=1" to the line that begins with "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" (or which ever line in grub is the one you use to boot your kernel, but this is the default). 3. Close your editor 4. Run the command "sudo update-grub" to apply your changes to the grub boot configuration (the file modified in these steps is a config file for the config file). 5. Restart your computer to make this active Temporarily Enabling TCG Commands In Linux ------------------------------------------ You can temporarily enable TCG commands without modifying the kernel boot parameters. This can be accomplished by modifying the libata parameters file. Below is a sample script that can be run to do this. Sample Script: cd /sys/module/libata/parameters sudo chmod 644 allow_tpm echo 1 | sudo dd of=./allow_tpm sudo chmod 444 allow_tpm Tiny Core - Enabling TCG Commands ------------------------------------------ Follow these steps to enable TCG commands on a Tiny Core bootable USB flash drive. 1. Leave the USB flash drive in after you run the Windows-based USB boot maker tool. 2. Using a (Windows) text editor go to USB:/boot/syslinux.cfg and in there, add libata.allow_tpm=1 on the append line with the other kernel boot parameters. 3. Using a (Windows) text editor go to USB:/EFI/boot/refind.conf and add libata.allow_tpm=1 on the options line with the other kernel boot parameters =================== General Usage Hints =================== Remember that Linux file names and command line arguments are cAsE SeNsiTiVe. Display a file listing with the Linux command: ls -lah The tool will require root privileges to run using either sudo or su commands. Also, verify that the tool has executable rights. A dot slash is a dot followed immediately by a forward slash (./). It is used in Linux to execute a compiled program in the current directory when it is not a built-in command or found in your path. For example, ./SeaChest -d /dev/sg0 --shortDST --poll or, sudo ./SeaChest -d /dev/sg0 --shortDST --poll Shut down the files system and remove the power with the command: poweroff See previous screen history with the key combination: Shift+PgUp or Shift+PgDn Save a log file by redirecting the screen output to a text file by adding space &>test.log at the end of your command line. Choose your own file name. To append the screen output to an existing log file use >>test.log. To save a log and display results at the conclusion of the tests, you can use the "tee" command. Tee command writes to the STDOUT and to a file. For example, SeaChest --echoCommandLine -d /dev/sg0 -i --smartCheck | tee -a mySeaChestLog.txt Display a log or text file with the Linux "less" command: less myfile.log Press the letter q to quit displaying the file. Similarly, you can easily read the Seagate License agreement by piping the output to the less command with SeaChest --license |less Display a list of sg (SCSI generic) devices with the command: cat /sys/class/scsi_generic/sg*/device/model or ls /dev/sg* sg devices include the following interfaces: SATA, USB, SCSI (SCSI, SAS and FC) Add the command word 'time' on the same command line before the SeaChest command to see how much time it takes to run a test. For example, time ./SeaChest -d /dev/sg0 --shortDST --poll When drives are not detected by SeaChest ---------------------------------------- The problem is that the sg driver isn't loaded on the system on boot. You can test if it is loaded by doing "ls /dev/sg*" and see if anything shows up. If nothing shows up then the SG driver is missing (which is required by SeaChest to issue commands). You need to do "modprobe sg" as root to load the sg module (since it wasn't compiled into the kernel), then you will get sg devices that we can scan and find. Once you run the modprobe command and sg is successfully loaded, then you can re-run "ls /dev/sg*" and see SG device nodes. SeaChest tools should then be able to find devices once again. How to control the amount of runtime kernel messages ---------------------------------------------------- When testing more drives than a system can hold, careful use of host adapters and hot-plugging batches of drives (but never to direct motherboard connections!) can help speed the process. The Linux operating system will display various system error messages, or none, when storage devices are powered down and exchanged with the next drives. The amount of information contained in the OS error messages can be reviewed using the Linux utility command "sysctl kernel.printk". The default setting is defined by the particular distro. Tiny Core Linux, for example may set "4 4 1 7". To hide hot-plugging messages try "3 4 1 7", to increase the messaging to include device details like model numbers try "6 4 1 7". The command to set is 'sudo sysctl -w kernel.printk="6 4 1 7"'. See man sysctl - "configure kernel parameters at runtime" for more. ============= Sample Output ============= SATA HDD Device Information: [sysop@localhost ~]$ sudo ./SeaChest_Basics -i -d /dev/sg1 =============================================================================== SeaChest -

SeaTools for Windows and SeaTools Bootable for end users are the two most popular GUI tools. These tools support 15 languages. SeaChest diagnostics are command line utilities which are available for expert users. These command line tools assume the user is knowledgeable about running software from the operating system command prompt. CLI tools are in the English language only and use "command line arguments" to define the various tasks and specific devices. SeaChest diagnostics are available for both Linux and Windows environments. Linux versions of SeaChest tools are available as stand alone 32 or 64-bit executables you can copy to your own system. Windows OS versions of SeaChest diagnostics are installed through a typical setup wizard and can be removed via the Control Panel. In addition, Seagate offers a tool to build a bootable USB SeaChest flash drive which boots to a 32-bit Linux command prompt. This is a Windows executable file which formats a USB Flash drive you provide. It copies over all the files needed to use it as a bootable device for the SeaChest diagnostic software. All data on the USB Flash drive will be erased so be sure to protect any valuable files. Technical Support for SeaChest drive utilities is not available. If you have the time to send us some feedback about this software, especially if you notice something we should fix or improve, we would greatly appreciate hearing from you. To report your comments and suggestions, please use this email seaboard@seagate.com. Please let us know the name and version of the tool you are using. SeaChest drive utilities support SATA, SAS and USB interface devices. SeaChest Basics - Contains the most important tests and tools. Other SeaChest "break out" utilities are available and listed below which offer more in-depth functionality in specific areas. These are: SeaChest Configure - Tools to control various settings on the drives are brought together into this one tool. Typical commands, for example, include Write Cache and Read Lookahead Cache enable or disable. SeaChest Erase - The focus is on data erasure. There are many different choices for erasing data from simple boot track erase to full cryptographic erasure (when supported). Be sure to back up important data before using this tool. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data. This tool only works on Seagate drives. SeaChest Firmware - Seagate products are run by firmware. Having the latest firmware can improve performance and or reliability of your product. Seagate recommends applying new firmware to enhance the performance and or reliability of your drive. Most products may see one or two firmware updates within the early life of the product. SeaChest Format - Storage products which utilize the SAS, SCSI or Fibre Channel interfaces are able to perform a full low-level media format in the field. The SCSI Format Unit command offers many specialty options to accommodate a variety of conditions and to fine tune the procedure. This complex command deserves its own "break out" utility. SeaChest GenericTests - Read Tests are the original disk drive diagnostic which is to just read every sector on the drive, sequentially. This tool offers several common read tests which can be defined by either time or range. In addition, the Long Generic test has the ability to repair problem sectors, possibly eliminating an unnecessary drive return. SeaChest Info - Historical generic activity logs (like total bytes written and power on hours) and performance logs (like temperature) are available for analytical review. Identification and inquiry data stored on the drive is also provided. A view of SMART and device statistics is available when supported by the drive. SeaChest PowerChoice - Seagate disk drives offer a multitude of options to manage power. This tool manipulates the various power modes. SeaChest Security - Various settings are available on modern Seagate disk drives which may be locked and unlocked. These settings may interact with the operating systems and systems BIOS. Options also include cryptographic erase for Self-Encrypting Drives (SED). SeaChest SMART - This tool provides a closer look at the collected SMART attributes data. SMART stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology. Short Drive Self Test is included as one of the standard SMART commands. In addition, the DST & Clean test has the ability to repair problem sectors, possibly eliminating an unnecessary drive return. ================================= Support and Open Source Statement ================================= Seagate offers technical support for disk drive installation.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below. 0. Additional Definitions. As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License, other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below. An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library. Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode of using an interface provided by the Library. A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked Version". The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version. The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work. 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL. You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL. 2. Conveying Modified Versions. If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified version: * a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the function or data, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or * b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of this License applicable to that copy. 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files. The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following: * a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. * b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document. 4. Combined Works. You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of the following: * a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. * b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document. * c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the copies of the GNU GPL and this license document. * d) Do one of the following: o 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source. o 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked Version. * e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise be required to provide such information under section 6 of the GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is necessary to install and execute a modified version of the Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.) 5. Combined Libraries. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side by side in a single library together with other library facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your choice, if you do both of the following: * a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities, conveyed under the terms of this License. * b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that published version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the Library. ====================================================================== SOURCE CODE files of the opensea open source project have been made available to you under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL).

License Grants and Conditions -------------------------------- 2.1. Grants Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license: (a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark) Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available, modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its Contributions, either on an unmodified basis, with Modifications, or as part of a Larger Work; and (b) under Patent Claims of such Contributor to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, import, and otherwise transfer either its Contributions or its Contributor Version. 2.2. Effective Date The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first distributes such Contribution. 2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License. Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a Contributor: (a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software; or (b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor Version); or (c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of its Contributions.

Conditions Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted in Section 2.1. 3. Responsibilities ------------------- 3.1. Distribution of Source Form All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form. 3.2. Distribution of Executable Form If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then: (a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and (b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License. 3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice, provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary License(s). 3.4. Notices You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices (including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty, or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies. 3.5. Application of Additional Terms You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any jurisdiction. 4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation --------------------------------------------------- If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it. 5. Termination -------------- 5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after Your receipt of the notice. 5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions, counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section 2.1 of this License shall terminate. 5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License prior to termination shall survive termination. ************************************************************************ * * * 6.
