mptutil(1M)mptutil(1M)NAMEmptutil - Diagnostic utility for Ultra320 SCSI controllers and A7173A
PCI-X Dual channel Host Bus Adapters
SYNOPSIS
[options] <device_file>
DESCRIPTION
The command is a diagnostic tool to be used for Ultra320 SCSI con‐
trollers claimed by the MPT driver. This command provides the ability
to retrieve various configuration information, perform firmware down‐
loads, issue Task Management commands and read accumulated statistics
of the controller and connected target devices.
The utility can be used with various options with a specified device
file. Each device file represents only a single channel on the SCSI
controller. Therefore, commands issued through this utility are chan‐
nel specific and do not affect the whole adapter (except firmware down‐
load).
Prerequisites:
You must be a privileged user in order to run the command. See privi‐
leges(5) for more information on privileged users. In addition, some
of the options are intended for use by HP support personnel and require
detailed knowledge of the Ultra320 SCSI driver or firmware to interpret
the output.
OPTIONS
recognizes the following options. All keywords are case-sensitive and
are position dependent.
<device_file> where specifies the MPT device file associated with one
channel of the Ultra320 SCSI controller.
The device files are created at boot time or during
Online Addition of an adapter. They have the name
/dev/mptX, where X is the instance number of the SCSI
channel, as reported by for the MPT driver and the
When used without any options it provides information
such as the Driver and Firmware version, Vendor ID,
Device ID, Adapter NVRAM size, Vital Product Data (VPD)
along with the driver's current state.
The following driver states are defined:
This state indicates that the hardware has not been ini‐
tialized by the driver. This state could result if the
driver was unable to successfully initialize the chan‐
nel.
This state indicates that the controller initialization
is complete. Driver is in the process of retrieving/set‐
ting various configuration parameters.
This state indicates that driver is online and ready to
perform normal SCSI I/O operation.
This state indicates that driver is currently performing
Task Management commands such SCSI BUS RESET, ABORT
TASK, BUS DEVICE RESET etc.
This state indicates that driver has detected a con‐
troller fault and is currently recovering from that con‐
dition.
This state indicates that controller has been suspended
by the user.
This option is used to display the PCI Configuration data stored on the
card. Information is displayed as hexadecimal data.
This option is used to download the MPT SCSI firmware onto the SCSI
controller
that has an associated Flash ROM. The controller is
specified by the argument. WARNING: This is a DESTRUC‐
TIVE operation. Active I/Os will be aborted. Should be
used by qualified personnel only.
This option is used to perform Task Management commands. The option
specifies the command type. Two types of Task Management
commands are currently supported.
Perform a Bus Device Reset on the device specified by
the
Perform a SCSI Bus Reset. This will reset all the
devices on the SCSI bus.
WARNING: This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation. Active I/Os
will be aborted. Should be used by qualified personnel
only.
This option is used to upload the currently running firmware image to
file specified by the
