#139 closed defect (wontfix)

smartctl can not modify CCTL ( TLER equivalent) on Hitachi UltraStar on LSI 1068 SAS controller.

Description

Using Hitachi 1TB UltraStar disks, HUA722010CLA330
On LSI1068 embedded SAS chip (on motherboard)
OS: CentOS 5.1 on ROCKS5 cluster.
Updated mptsas driver to mptlinux-4.24.00.00-2.x86_64
smartmontools 5.40
kernel 2.6.18-194.11.3.el5

Trying to read/modify CCTL settings.
Fails to communicate with the drives CCTL.
CAN see drives.
Examples:
smartctl -l scterc /dev/sda
smartctl 5.40 2010-10-16 r3189 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] (local build)
Probable ATA device behind a SAT layer
Try an additional '-d ata' or '-d sat' argument.

[root@lagavulin ~]# smartctl -d sat -T permissive -l scterc /dev/sda
smartctl 5.40 2010-10-16 r3189 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] (local build)
Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device)
Warning: device does not support SCT Commands

A couple more tests show that it thinks it's a scsi device, and then '-l scterc' returns nothing. This is true for both Hitachi and Seagate drives.

[root@lagavulin ~]# smartctl -d test /dev/sda
smartctl 5.40 2010-10-16 r3189 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] (local build)
/dev/sda: Device of type 'scsi' [SCSI] detected
/dev/sda: Device of type 'scsi' [SCSI] opened
[root@lagavulin ~]# smartctl -a -d scsi /dev/sda
smartctl 5.40 2010-10-16 r3189 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] (local build)
Serial number: JPW9J0HD0DD0TC
Device type: disk
Local Time is: Wed Dec 1 13:25:04 2010 EST
Device supports SMART and is Enabled
Temperature Warning Disabled or Not Supported
SMART Health Status: OK
Error Counter logging not supported
Device does not support Self Test logging

[root@lagavulin ~]# smartctl -a -d scsi /dev/sdb
smartctl 5.40 2010-10-16 r3189 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] (local build)
Serial number: 3QJ01G92
Device type: disk
Local Time is: Wed Dec 1 13:37:03 2010 EST
Device supports SMART and is Enabled
Temperature Warning Disabled or Not Supported
SMART Health Status: OK
Error Counter logging not supported
Device does not support Self Test logging

[root@lagavulin ~]# smartctl -d scsi -l scterc /dev/sda
smartctl 5.40 2010-10-16 r3189 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] (local build)

Verifying current versions and earlier problems with lockups on the mptsas device we tried this test:
# while true; do smartctl -a /dev/sdb > /dev/null; done

This produced no errors or lockups.

Is there SOME WAY to set CCTL on these drives??

Keywords: CCTL TLER removed

The driver/firmware of the LSI1068 SAS chip does probably not support SAT.

Please attach output of

# smartctl -r ioctl,2 -d sat -i /dev/sda

Support for SAT SCSI command ATA PASS-THROUGH(16) is missing in controller driver/firmware.

There is a small chance that ATA PASS-THROUGH(12) is supported, please try:

# smartctl -d sat,12 -i /dev/sda

Otherwise smartmontools will not work at all with SATA devices behind this SAS controller.

I tried that, and it failed. However "scsi" works a bit:

This is normal: The SAT layer translates mandatory SCSI commands to their ATA equivalents. This provides a very limited SCSI view of the device to smartctl. Unfortunately the SATL of this controller does not implement the optional ATA PASS-THROUGH commands required to access ATA functionality not translated to SCSI. See section "ATA, SCSI command sets and SAT" on smartctl man page for further info.

comment:6 by Christian Franke, 13 years ago

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

The SCSI command ATA PASS-THROUGH is not available with this controller.
