applications written for the +.BR cciss (4) +and +.BR hpsa (4) +drivers, many, but not all of the +.BR ioctl (2) +operations supported by the +.B hpsa +driver are also supported by the +.B smartpqi +driver. +The data structures used by these operations +are described in the Linux kernel source file +.IR include/linux/cciss_ioctl.h . +.TP +.BR CCISS_DEREGDISK ", " CCISS_REGNEWDISK ", " CCISS_REGNEWD +These operations +all do exactly the same thing, which is to cause the driver to re-scan +for new devices. +This does exactly the same thing as writing to the +.BR smartpqi -specific +host +.I rescan +attribute. +.TP +.B CCISS_GETPCIINFO +This operation returns the PCI domain, bus, +device, and function and "board ID" (PCI subsystem ID). +.TP +.B CCISS_GETDRIVVER +This operation returns the driver version in four bytes, encoded as: +.IP +.in +4n +.EX +(major_version << 28) | (minor_version << 24) | + (release << 16) | revision +.EE +.in +.TP +.B CCISS_PASSTHRU +Allows BMIC

+.BR disable_heartbeat= { 0 | 1 } +Disables support for the controller's heartbeat check. +This parameter is used for debugging purposes. +The default value is 0, leaving the controller's heartbeat check active. +.TP +.BR disable_ctrl_shutdown= { 0 | 1 } +Disables support for shutting down the controller in the +event of a controller lockup. +The default value is 0. +.TP +.BR lockup_action= {

+and the RAID controller via the SCSI generic driver +.RI ( sg ), +with device nodes named +.IR /dev/sd *, +.IR /dev/st *, +and +.IR /dev/sg *, +respectively. +.SS SmartPQI-specific host attribute files in \f[BI]/sys\fP +.TP +.IR /sys/class/scsi_host/host * /rescan +The host +.I rescan +attribute is a write-only attribute. +Writing to this attribute will cause the driver to scan for new, +changed, or removed devices (e.g., hot-plugged tape drives, or newly +configured or deleted logical drives) and notify the SCSI mid-layer of +any changes detected. +Usually this action is triggered automatically by configuration +changes, so the user should not normally have to write to this file. +Doing so may be useful when hot-plugging devices such as tape drives or +entire storage boxes containing pre-configured logical drives. +.TP +.IR /sys/class/scsi_host/host * /version +The host +.I version +attribute is a read-only attribute. +This attribute contains the driver version and the controller firmware +version. +.IP +For example: +.IP +.in +4n +.EX +$ \c +.B cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/version +driver: 1.1.2\-126 +firmware: 1.29\-112 +.EE +.in +.TP +.IR /sys/class/scsi_host/host * /lockup_action +The host +.I lockup_action +attribute is a read/write attribute. +This attribute will cause the driver to perform a specific action in the +unlikely event that a controller lockup has been detected. +See +.B OPTIONS +above +for an explanation of the +.I lockup_action +values. +.TP +.I /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/driver_version +The +.I driver_version
