Hi There has earlier been 2 threads on sg_ses 21 may 2007 and 10 june 2010, but unfortunately neither seemed to include information about how to understand the --raw output from sg_ses. When I run this command sg_ses --page=2 /dev/sg30 --raw I get output that looks like: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 00 00 00 40 06 00 00 47 06 00 00 47 06 00 00 47 00 00 00 00 01 00 2c 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 There are 26 segments starting with 01 00 00 00, and 27 with 06. I think i have to use the 01 segments, but the number 26 does not fit with my number of disks unless they count like this: controller, backplane + 24 disks or enclosure port A + port B + 24 disks. At first i figured i had to set 20 in the last field, but that did not work. So i tried modifying a 01 00 00 00 to 01 00 02 20 based on this webpage: http://storagesecrets.org/2008/12/scsi-enclosure-services-ses-ses-2-management/ I also tried with 06 00 00 00 to 06 00 02 20, still nothing. I set the data using sg_ses --control --page=2 -d - /dev/sg30 < raw.test Here are the output of lsscsi [0:0:0:0] disk ATA INTEL SSDSA2M040 2CV1 /dev/sda [1:0:0:0] disk ATA INTEL SSDSA2M040 2CV1 /dev/sdb [2:0:0:0] disk ATA Corsair CSSD-F24 2.0 /dev/sdc [3:0:0:0] disk ATA Corsair CSSD-F24 2.0 /dev/sdd [5:0:0:0] disk ATA Corsair CSSD-F24 2.0 /dev/sde [5:0:1:0] disk ATA Corsair CSSD-F24 2.0 /dev/sdf [6:0:0:0] disk ATA SAMSUNG HE103UJ 1113 /dev/sdg [6:0:1:0] disk ATA SAMSUNG HE103UJ 1113 /dev/sdh [6:0:2:0] disk ATA WDC WD1001FALS-0 0K05 /dev/sdi [6:0:3:0] disk ATA WDC WD1001FALS-0 0K05 /dev/sdj [6:0:4:0] disk ATA SAMSUNG HE103UJ 1113 /dev/sdk [6:0:5:0] disk ATA SAMSUNG HE103UJ 1113 /dev/sdl [6:0:6:0] disk ATA WDC WD10EADS-00L 1A01 /dev/sdm [6:0:7:0] disk ATA SAMSUNG HE103UJ 1113 /dev/sdn [6:0:8:0] disk ATA WDC WD1001FALS-0 0K05 /dev/sdo [6:0:9:0] disk ATA SAMSUNG HE103UJ 1113 /dev/sdp [6:0:10:0] disk ATA WDC WD1001FALS-0 0K05 /dev/sdq [6:0:11:0] disk ATA WDC WD1001FALS-0 0K05 /dev/sdr [6:0:12:0] disk ATA Hitachi HDS72101 A39C /dev/sds [6:0:13:0] disk ATA SAMSUNG HD103UJ 1118 /dev/sdt [6:0:14:0] disk ATA SAMSUNG HD103UJ 1118 /dev/sdu [6:0:15:0] disk ATA Hitachi HDS72101 A39C /dev/sdv [6:0:16:0] disk ATA Hitachi HUA72201 A3EA /dev/sdw [6:0:17:0] disk ATA Hitachi HUA72201 A3EA /dev/sdx [6:0:18:0] disk ATA WDC WD1002FBYS-0 0C06 /dev/sdy [6:0:19:0] disk ATA WDC WD1002FBYS-0 0C06 /dev/sdz [6:0:20:0] disk ATA WDC WD2002FYPS-0 1G01 /dev/sdaa [6:0:21:0] disk ATA Hitachi HUA72202 A3EA /dev/sdab [6:0:22:0] disk ATA WDC WD2003FYYS-0 1D01 /dev/sdac [6:0:23:0] disk ATA WDC WD2001FASS-0 0101 /dev/sdad [6:0:24:0] enclosu LSILOGIC SASX36 A.0 9 - The first 6 /dev/sd devices are attached using sata to a 00:11.0 SATA controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 SATA Controller [IDE mode] where as the last 24 disks is connected using a 06:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08) found onboard on my SuperMicro H8DI3+-F in a supermicro SC846E2 chasis. Only 1 SAS cable is attached between the controller and enclosure backplane even though both support 2 cables. The same enclosure and disks used to work with a 3ware 9690sa-8i which had a webpage system to turn on and off those bits. But after a brand new disk crashed and pulled all the other 23 disks offline from the controller, then i do not like to continue to use the 3ware 9690sa-8i controller.
