The Intel(R) C600 Series Chipset SATA/SAS + Storage Control Unit embeds up to two 4-port controllers in + a single PCI device. The controllers are enumerated in order + which usually means the lowest number scsi_host corresponds + with the first controller, but this association is not + guaranteed. The 'isci_id' attribute unambiguously identifies + the controller index: '0' for the first controller, + '1' for the second. + +What: /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/acciopath_status +Date: November 2013 +Contact: Stephen M. Cameron <scameron@beardog.cce.hp.com> +Description: This file contains the current status of the "SSD Smart Path" + feature of HP Smart Array RAID controllers using the hpsa + driver. SSD Smart Path, when enabled permits the driver to + send i/o requests directly to physical devices that are part + of a logical drive, bypassing the controllers firmware RAID + stack for a performance advantage when possible. A value of + '1' indicates the feature is enabled, and the controller may + use the direct i/o path to physical devices. A value of zero + means the feature is disabled and the controller may not use + the direct i/o path to physical devices. This setting is + controller wide, affecting all configured logical drives on the + controller. This file is readable and writable. + +What: /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/link_power_management_policy +Date: Oct, 2007 +KernelVersion: v2.6.24 +Contact: linux-ide@vger.kernel.org +Description: + (RW) This parameter allows the user to read and set the link + (interface) power management. + + There are four possible options: + + min_power: Tell the controller to try to make the link use the + least possible power when possible. This may sacrifice some + performance due to increased latency when coming out of lower + power states. + + max_performance: Generally, this means no power management. + Tell the controller to have performance be a priority over power + management. + + medium_power: Tell the controller to enter a lower power state + when possible, but do not enter the lowest power state, thus + improving latency over min_power setting. + + med_power_with_dipm: Identical to the existing medium_power + setting except that it enables dipm (device initiated power + management) on top, which makes it match the Windows IRST (Intel + Rapid Storage Technology) driver settings. This setting is also + close to min_power, except that: + + a) It does not use host-initiated slumber mode, but it does + allow device-initiated slumber + b) It does not enable low power device sleep mode (DevSlp). + +What: /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/em_message +What: /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/em_message_type +Date: Jun, 2008 +KernelVersion: v2.6.27 +Contact: linux-ide@vger.kernel.org +Description: + em_message: (RW) Enclosure management support.

Different hardware(HW) vendors may have different + definitions. With the em_buffer attribute, this issue can be + solved by allowing HW vendors to provide userland drivers and + tools for their SGPIO initiators. + +What: /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/em_message_supported +Date: Oct, 2009 +KernelVersion: v2.6.39 +Contact: linux-ide@vger.kernel.org +Description: + (RO) Displays supported enclosure management message types. |
