===============================================================================
Welcome to Seagate's SeaChest Basics diagnostic software.
This User Guide file contains important information about SeaChest Basics.
Please read this entire file before using this software.
Tests and commands which are completely data safe will run on any disk drive.
Tests and commands which change the drive (like firmware download or data
erasure or setting the maximum capacity, etc) are limited to Seagate disk
drives (this includes Seagate, Maxtor, Samsung and LaCie). Be careful using
SeaChest because some of the features, like the data erasure options, will
cause data loss. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data.
If this is your drive, you should always keep a current backup of your
important data.
Important note: Many tests in this tool directly reference storage device data
sectors, also known as Logical Block Addresses (LBA). Test arguments may
require a starting LBA or an LBA range. The predefined variable 'maxLBA'
refers to the last sector on the drive. Many older SATA and SAS storage
controllers (also known as Host Bus Adapters [HBA]) have a maximum addressable
limit of 4294967295 [FFFFh] LBAs hard wired into their design. This equates to
2.1TB using 512 byte sectors. This also means accessing an LBA beyond the
2.1TB limitation either will result in an error or simply the last readable LBA
(usually LBA 4294967295 [FFFFh]) depending on the actual hardware. This
limitation can have important consequences. For example, if you intended to
erase a 4TB drive, then only the first 2TB will actually get erased (or maybe
even twice!) and the last 2TB will remain untouched. You should carefully
evaluate your system hardware to understand if your storage controllers provide
support for greater than 2.1TB.
Note: One gigabyte, or GB, equals one billion bytes when referring to hard
drive capacity. This software may use information provided by the operating
system to display capacity and volume size. The Windows file system uses a
binary calculation for gibibyte or GiB (2^30) which causes the abbreviated size
to appear smaller. The total number of bytes on a disk drive divided by the
decimal calculation for gigabyte or GB (10^9) shows the expected abbreviated
size. See this FAQ for more information

Utility Options
===============
--echoCommandLine
Echo the command line entered into the utility on the screen.
--enableLegacyUSBPassthrough
Only use this option on old USB or IEEE1394 (Firewire)
products that do not otherwise work with the tool.
This option will enable a trial and error method that
attempts sending various ATA Identify commands through
vendor specific means. Because of this, certain products
that may respond in unintended ways since they may interpret
these commands differently than the bridge chip the command
was designed for.
--forceATA
Using this option will force the current drive to
be treated as a ATA drive. Only ATA commands will
be used to talk to the drive.
-h, --help
Show utility options and example usage (this output you see now)
Please report bugs/suggestions to seaboard@seagate.com.
Include the output of --version information in the email.
--hideLBACounter
Use this option to suppress the output from
options that show LBA counters without turning
off all output to the screen.
--hours [hours]
Use this option to specify a time in hours
for a timed operation to run.
--license
Display the Seagate End User License Agreement (EULA).
--minutes [minutes]
Use this option to specify a time in minutes
for a timed operation to run.
--noTimeLimit
Use with utility command arguments which have a built in timeout
value. For example, --shortDST has a 10 minute default
timeout. In some cases a good drive may need more time to
complete the test due to other legitimate system activity.
--noBanner
Use this option to suppress the text banner that displays each time
openSeaChest is run.
--onlySeagate
Use this option to match only Seagate drives for the options
provided
-q, --quiet
Run SeaChest_Basics in quiet mode. This is the same as
-v 0 or --verbose 0
--seconds [seconds]
Use this option to specify a time in seconds
for a timed operation to run.
-v [0-4], --verbose [0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4]
Show verbose information. Verbosity levels are:
0 - quiet
1 - default
2 - command descriptions
3 - command descriptions and values
4 - command descriptions, values, and data buffers
Example: -v 3 or --verbose 3
-V, --version
Show SeaChest_Basics version and copyright information & exit
Utility Arguments
=================
-s, --scan
Scan the system and list all storage devices with logical
/dev/sg<#> assignments. Shows model, serial and firmware
numbers. If your device is not listed on a scan immediately
after booting, then wait 10 seconds and run it again.
-S, --Scan
This option is the same as --scan or -s,
however it will also perform a low level rescan to pick up
other devices. This low level rescan may wake devices from low
power states and may cause the OS to re-enumerate them.
Use this option when a device is plugged in and not discovered in
a normal scan.
NOTE: A low-level rescan may not be available on all interfaces or
all OSs. The low-level rescan is not guaranteed to find additional
devices in the system when the device is unable to come to a ready
state.
-i, --deviceInfo
Show information and features for the storage device
--llInfo
Dump low-level information about the device to assist with debugging.
--SATInfo
Displays SATA device information on any interface
using both SCSI Inquiry / VPD / Log reported data
(translated according to SAT) and the ATA Identify / Log
reported data.
--testUnitReady
Issues a SCSI Test Unit Ready command and displays the
status. If the drive is not ready, the sense key, asc,
ascq, and fru will be displayed and a human readable
translation from the SPC spec will be displayed if one
is available.
--fastDiscovery
Use this option to issue a fast scan on the specified drive.
--checkPowerMode
Get the current power mode of a drive.
On SCSI devices, this will only work if the drive has
transitioned from active state to another state.
--displayLBA [LBA]
This option will read and display the contents of
the specified LBA to the screen. The display format
is hexadecimal with an ASCII translation on the side
(when available).
--activateFW
Use this option to issue the command to activate code that was
sent to the drive using a deferred download command. This will
immediately activate the new code on the drive.
You can use this along with a --downloadFW & --downloadMode to
automatically issue the activate command after the download has
completed.
--downloadFW [firmware_filename]
Download firmware to a Seagate storage product. Use only
Seagate authorized firmware data files which are designated
for the specific model drive. Improper use of this option may
harm a device and or its data. You may specify the path (without
spaces) if the firmware data file is in a different location.
This option will use segmented download by default. Use the
--downloadMode option to specify a different download mode.
--showLockedRegions
This option should only be used when performing firmware
updates on legacy products. What this does is it ignores
a failing error code from the OS on the final segment of a
firmware update, but this update is actually successful.
This is needed to workaround hardware or firmware limitations
that were present in some old products.
--shortDST
Execute a short diagnostic drive self test. This test can take
up to 2 minutes to complete. Use the --poll argument to make
this operation poll for progress until complete. Use the
--progress dst command to check on the completion percentage
(%) and test result.
NOTE: Short DST may take longer if there is other disk usage
while the DST is running. If the DST takes longer than 10 minutes
it will automatically be aborted while polling for progress.
To override this behavior, use the --noTimeLimit option.
--poll
Use this option to cause another operation to poll for progress
until it has completed. This argument does not return to the
command prompt and prints ongoing completion percentages (%)
the final test result. Full drive procedures will take a
very long time. Used with --sanitize, or --writeSame (SATA).
--progress [dst]
Get the progress for a test that was started quietly without
the polling option (default). You must specify a test you wish to
get progress from. Ex: "--progress dst" or "--progress sanitize"
The progress counts up from 0% to 100%.
--abortDST
Abort a diagnostic Drive Self Test that is in progress.
--phySpeed [0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5]
Use this option to change the PHY speed to a
new maximum value. On SAS, this option will
set all phys to the specified speed unless the
--sasPhy option is given to select a specific phy.
0 - allow full negotiation (default drive behavior)
1 - allow negotiation up to 1.5Gb/s
2 - allow negotiation up to 3.0Gb/s
3 - allow negotiation up to 6.0Gb/s
4 - allow negotiation up to 12.0Gb/s (SAS Only)
5 - allow negotiation up to 22.5Gb/s (SAS Only)
NOTE: SATA phy speed changes are only available on Seagate drives.
WARNING: Check the minimum phy speed supported by your adapter before
using this option. A phy speed below the adapter's capability
will result in the drive not being seen by the adapter or the
OS.
WARNING: Changing Phy speed may affect all LUNs/namespaces for devices
with multiple logical units or namespaces.
--restoreMaxLBA
Restore the max accessible address of your drive to its native
size. A power cycle is required after this command before
setting a new max LBA.
--setMaxLBA newMaxLBA
Set the max accessible address of your drive to any value less
than the device's default native size. A power cycle is
required after this command before resetting or setting a new
max LBA.
--showConcurrentRanges
Use this option to display the concurrent positioning ranges
supported by a device. Concurrent positioning ranges are used
to inform which actuator is used for a given range in LBA space.
--smartCheck
Perform a SMART check on a device to see if any internal
thresholds have been tripped or if the drive is still operating
within specification.
--spinDown
Removes power to the disk drive motor with the Standby Immediate
command. Use this before moving a hard disk drive. The drive
will spin back up if the operating system selects the drive.
This means that an active drive will not stay spun down.
SATA Only:
=========
--smartAttributes [raw | hybrid | analyzed] (SATA Only)
The drive will display its list of supported SMART attributes.
Some attributes names are commonly standard and most others are
vendor unique. In either case, the attribute thresholds are
always vendor unique. Most attributes are informational and not
used to determine a warranty return. Use the --smartCheck
command to determine if one of the warranty attributes has been
tripped. Seagate Support does not help to analyze SMART
attributes.
Output modes:
raw - All hex output for those that need every single bit.
hybrid - classic table view with some interpretation of some
fields. Partial raw interpretation, but not all drive
and firmware combinations are supported.
analyzed - a full breakdown of all parts of each individual
attribute's data. Full raw data interpretation only
available on select devices.
NOTE: Migration to device statistics is recommended.
SAS Only:
=========
--readyLED [info | on | off | default] (SAS Only)
Use this option to get the current state or change the
behavior of the ready LED.
See the SPL spec for full details on how this changes LED
info - gets the current state of the ready LED.
on - sets the ready LED to usually off unless
processing a command.
off - sets the ready LED to usually on unless
processing a command
default - sets the ready LED to the drive's default value
WARNING: The EPC settings may affect all LUNs/namespaces for devices
with multiple logical units or namespaces.
--provision newMaxLBA
Provision your drive to a new max LBA to any value less
than the device's current max LBA. A power cycle is required
after this command before resetting the max LBA or changing
the provisioning again. This command erases all data between
the new maxLBA specified and the current maxLBA of the device.
using a TRIM/UNMAP command.
================
Tool Usage Hints
================
See Sample Output examples below.
First, run the SeaChest -s option to determine what /dev/sg? or PD? device
handle assignment lines up to your disk drive. This option will also show you
other details about the drive including the current firmware revision.
Linux:
Vendor Handle Model Number Serial Number FwRev
ATA /dev/sg0 ST94813AS 3AA043KP 3.03
SEAGATE /dev/sg1 ST1000NM0011 ZAA15VAS SN03
Windows:
Vendor Handle Model Number Serial Number FwRev
IDE PD0 ST94813AS 3AA043KP 3.03
SEAGATE PD1 ST1000NM0011 ZAA15VAS SN03
You can use SeaChest -s --onlySeagate to limit the display to just Seagate.
All utility arguments will require you to identify the specific drive by
providing the sg or PD device handle (-d, --device).
You may combine multiple tests with a single command line. For example,
in Linux, SeaChest_Basics -d /dev/sg0 -i --smartCheck runs both identify and
SMART. In Windows, SeaChest_Basics -d PD0 -i --smartCheck runs both
identify and SMART.
Multiple device handles can be given by adding -d /dev/sg# for each additional
handle. Devices are processed in sequential order. For example, in Linux,
SeaChest_Basics -d /dev/sg0 -d /dev/sg3 -i runs identify on these two
devices. In Windows, SeaChest_Basics -d PD0 -d PD3 -i runs identify on
these two devices.
Caution: All device handles may be specified. However, great care should be
taken to fully anticipate the consequences of running a command on all storage
devices in a system. For example, a command to erase data on all drives could
be catastrophic or exactly what you want. The shortcut to select all devices is
-d all. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data. Along with the
designation for all devices, you can narrow the tasks to specific types of
drives by using the --onlySeagate, --modelMatch and --onlyFW filters.
If the task is an OFFLINE command like format unit or short DST, meaning that
the drive works on the task in the background and the tool quickly returns to
the command prompt (there is little or no I/O to the system), then you can
expect the system to run normally. If the task has high I/O to the system like
a sequential read of all sectors on the drive, then you can expect the system
to slow down with each additional device.
The discussion above is about starting SEQUENTIAL tests, or one after the
other. When the task does not return to the command prompt for a very long
time, then you have a few options to run tests in PARALLEL, also called
simultaneous, in other words all at the same time. One way is to start
different drives in different Terminal windows, if available. There are other
more sophisticated methods using parallel processing, for information about
these methods please see the information at this link:
https://github.com/Seagate/ToolBin/tree/master/SeaChest/parallel_testing
Tests which take a very long time to complete or erase all user data on the
drive will require a longer command line argument than indicated in the --help
output to the screen. This approach is taken to eliminate the possibility of
accidental data loss or the commitment of long test times. The longer command
arguments are similar to -I-understand-this-command-will-take-a-long-time or
-I-understand-this-command-will-erase-all-data.
Tests which alter the firmware or erase user data on the drive are limited to
Seagate-only products which include Seagate, Maxtor, Samsung and LaCie.
Advanced SAS installations may use dual ports. These are listed as Port 0 and
Port 1 on the device information report. When both ports are active, each one
may have a unique /dev/sg designation. The scan option may indicate that there
are two drives in the system with the same serial number. Dual port
installations will also report two different Worldwide Numbers (WWN).
When drives are in a RAID, the PD device handle is usually not available and
the CSMI handle may provide an alternate way to talk to the drive. Just
because a device has a CSMI handle doesn't mean it is part of a RAID.
If you want to see both handles, add --scanFlags allowDuplicates to the command
line. If you don't want to see any CSMI devices, add --scanFlags ignoreCSMI to
the command line. SeaChest_Info -d csmi:?:?:? --csmiInfo is useful when
troubleshooting CSMI device handles questions.
=========================
Linux General Usage Hints
=========================
Remember that Linux file names and command line arguments are cAsE SeNsiTiVe.
The tool will require root privileges to run using either sudo or su commands.
Also, verify that the tool has executable rights.
Shut down the files system and remove the power with the command:
poweroff
Save a log file by redirecting the screen output to a text file by adding space
&>test.log at the end of your command line. Choose your own file name. To
append the screen output to an existing log file use >>test.log.
To save a log and display results at the conclusion of the tests, you can use
the "tee" command. Tee command writes to the STDOUT and to a file.
For example,
SeaChest --echoCommandLine -d /dev/sg0 -i --smartCheck | tee -a mySeaChestLog.txt
Display a log or text file with the Linux "less" command: less myfile.log
Press the letter q to quit displaying the file. Similarly, you can easily
read the Seagate License agreement by piping the output to the less
command with SeaChest --license |less
sg devices include the following interfaces: SATA, USB, SCSI (SCSI, SAS and FC)
Add the command word 'time' on the same command line before the SeaChest
command to see how much time it takes to run a test.
For example, time ./SeaChest -d /dev/sg0 --shortDST --poll
If your notebook has a Thunderbolt interface connection then you may be able to
test a wide range of devices. External Thunderbolt expansion systems provide a
PCIe slot in a chassis that can hold a SAS, NVMe, or SATA host adapter. The
host adapters would have cables that go out to your test bench where you would
provide the drive and an external power supply for the drives. Thunderbolt 2
expansion systems work in Linux by default. Thunderbolt 3 expansion systems
need to be enabled in the kernel with boot time options before it will be
recognized by the Linux operating system. See
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.14/admin-guide/thunderbolt.html for
information about how to activate the interface.
===========================
Windows General Usage Hints
===========================
The tool will require Administrative privileges to run.
Also, verify that the tool has executable rights.
Save a log file by redirecting the screen output to a text file by adding space
&>test.log at the end of your command line. Choose your own file name. To
append the screen output to an existing log file use >>test.log.
To save a log and display results at the conclusion of the tests, you can use
the powershell "tee" command. Tee command writes to the STDOUT and to a file.
For example:
powershell ".\SeaChest --echoCommandLine -d PD1 --smartCheck | tee -append
mySeaChestLog.txt"
Setup for Windows
-----------------
The SeaChest Utilities Setup places all of the files at "C:\Program
Files\Seagate\SeaChest" and adds an icon on the Desktop. Clicking the icon
will open a Windows command prompt in Administrator mode at this location.
From there you will need to type the full command line for the tool and device
and options to run the test you require. See the various SeaChest Help
documentation for descriptions and examples of the various commands.
This is a command line tool and the requirement is to open a Command Prompt as
Administrator. There are two easy ways to do this:
1. Windows Accessories, right-click the Command Prompt icon and select Run as
Administrator.
2. Click Windows Start. In the Start Search box, type cmd, and then press
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
Then change drives or directory to where the SeaChest utility is located and
run the tool file name from there.
If you force a primary SATA boot drive to download firmware in Windows using a
different --downloadMode setting, then the result will likely be a BSOD (blue
screen of death) system crash. This is because the legacy SATA firmware
download modes require the drive to spin down and then back up and the
momentary disappearance of the drive causes the operating system to crash.
Windows is actually protecting the system when it thinks the drive has stopped
responding (see wikis about Ring 0 Protection).
The 'deferred' mode does not spin down the drive. Instead, the drive waits for
a future reboot of the system and self-activates the firmware at that time.
Other operating systems may utilize the SeaChest --activateFW command to
trigger the switch to the new firmware version.
=============
Sample Output
=============
The drive will display its list of supported SMART attributes. Some attributes
are industry standard and most others are vendor unique. Most attributes are
informational and not used to determine a warranty return. Use the --smartCheck
command to determine if one of the warranty attributes has been tripped.

About SeaChest Command Line Diagnostics
=======================================
Seagate offers both graphical user interface (GUI) and command line interface
(CLI) diagnostic tools for our storage devices. SeaTools for Windows and
SeaTools Bootable for end users are the two most popular GUI tools. These
tools support 15 languages.
SeaChest diagnostics are command line utilities which are available for expert
users. These command line tools assume the user is knowledgeable about running
software from the operating system command prompt. CLI tools are in the
English language only and use "command line arguments" to define the various
tasks and specific devices. SeaChest diagnostics are available for both Linux
and Windows environments.
In addition, Seagate offers a tool to build a bootable USB SeaChest flash drive
which boots to a 64-bit Linux command prompt. This is a Windows executable
file which formats a USB Flash drive you provide. It copies over all the files
needed to use it as a bootable device for the SeaChest diagnostic software.
All data on the USB Flash drive will be erased so be sure to protect any
valuable files.
Technical Support for SeaChest drive utilities is not available. If you have
the time to send us some feedback about this software, especially if you notice
something we should fix or improve, we would greatly appreciate hearing from
you. To report your comments and suggestions, please use this email
seaboard@seagate.com. Please let us know the name and version of the tool you
are using.
SeaChest drive utilities support SATA, SAS and USB interface devices.
Other SeaChest "break out" utilities are available and listed below which offer
more in-depth functionality in specific areas. These are:
SeaChest Erase - The focus is on data erasure. There are many different
choices for erasing data from simple boot track erase to full cryptographic
erasure (when supported). Be sure to back up important data before using this
tool. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data. This tool only works on
Seagate drives.
SeaChest Firmware - Seagate products are run by firmware. Having the latest
firmware can improve performance and or reliability of your product. Seagate
recommends applying new firmware to enhance the performance and or reliability
of your drive. Most products may see one or two firmware updates within the
early life of the product.
SeaChest Format - Storage products which utilize the SAS, SCSI or Fibre
Channel interfaces are able to perform a full low-level media format in the
field. The SCSI Format Unit command offers many specialty options to
accommodate a variety of conditions and to fine tune the procedure. This tool
also support NVMe format and SATA sector size changes a.k.a. Fast Format.
Also in this tool is the ability to depopulate a head from use as it wears out
so that the device can continue being used at a reduced capacity until completely
worn out. These complex commands deserve their own "break out" utility.
SeaChest GenericTests - Read Tests are the original disk drive diagnostic which
is to just read every sector on the drive, sequentially. This tool offers
several common read tests which can be defined by either time or range. In
addition, the Long Generic test has the ability to repair problem sectors,
possibly eliminating an unnecessary drive return.
SeaChest Info - Historical generic activity logs (like total bytes written and
power on hours) and performance logs (like temperature) are available for
analytical review. Identification and inquiry data stored on the drive is also
provided. A view of SMART and device statistics is available when supported by
the drive.
SeaChest NVMe - contains some options specific to NVMe devices. This tool started
as a test tool and many options are present in other SeaChest utilities now.
SeaChest SMART - This tool provides a closer look at the collected SMART
attributes data. SMART stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting
Technology. Short Drive Self Test is included as one of the standard SMART
commands. In addition, the DST & Clean test has the ability to repair problem
sectors, possibly eliminating an unnecessary drive return.
