DESCRIPTION
     The sesmgr command is a user front end to sesdaemon which collects status
     of all supported fibre channel enclosures and allows for configuration
     changes.


COMMANDS
     getversion     This command will report the version level of sesmgr.

     poll           This command will request that the daemon re-scan the SAN
                    for its configuration and also update the status of all
                    known devices.  Typically this should only need to be done
                    if the SAN configuration is manually changed outside of
                    the sesmgr command set.

     topology       This command will print the daemon's understanding of the
                    topology of the SAN.  It will print all of the drive
                    target's worldwide names, port id's, port numbers, and if
                    the controller is in loop mode, the name the device is
                    known by.  A list of all known drive targets which
                    sesdaemon is not able to manage is also printed.  This
                    list would include RAIDS (as its not easily possible to
                    distinguish them from JBODS), targets in unsupported
                    enclosures, and targets in enclosures which do not have
                    working devices in the SES capable slots for the ports
                    reachable by the host running sesdaemon.  Targets which
                    are not disk drives are ignored by sesdaemon.

     getstatus      This command reports status of supported fibre channel
                    drive enclosures.

                    For this option, -v (verbose) alone will print a detailed
                    status of all enclosures, -v with specified channel
                    numbers will print a detailed status for the enclosures on
                    the listed channels.  If enclosure arguments are specified
                    then a detailed status will be printed for only those
                    enclosures (and the -v flag is unnecessary).

                    If the -v flag is not used, and no arguments are
                    specified, then overall summaries of all fibre channel
                    controllers will be printed. Or only for the specified
                    channels if channel arguments are used.

     remove         This command will allow for physical removal of a drive.
                    I.E. it will spin-down the specified disk drive, and
                    prompt the user for removal, then after all the removes
                    have taken place it will SOP_SCAN the effected
                    controllers.

                    Note:  This command issues the spindown command to the
                    drive immediately which locks the drive heads.  However,
                    the drive requires additional time to stop rotating and
                    will still be turning when the exchange prompt is issued.

     insert         This command will allow for inserting a drive into a
                    specified enclosure. I.E. it will prompt for insertion,
                    and after all the inserts have taken place, it will spin
                    it up the drives, SOP_SCAN the effected controllers, and
                    call ioconfig to update the hardware graph.

     ledon          This command will turn "ON" the indicator "LED" associated
                    with the specified disk device.

     ledoff         This command will turn "OFF" the indicator "LED"
                    associated with the specified disk device.

     bypass         This command will perform an enclosure bypass to remove
                    the specified disk on the specified port from the fibre
                    channel loop.

     unbypass       This command will perform an enclosure unbypass to add the
                    specified disk on the specified port onto the fibre
                    channel loop.

     slotbypass     This command operates the same as bypass except that
                    instead of taking a target argument, it takes an enclosure
                    and slot argument.  This command will work on an enclosure
                    slot which does not have a drive in it.

     slotunbypass   This command operates the same as unbypass except that
                    instead of taking a target argument, it takes an enclosure
                    and slot argument.  This command is useful for cases where
                    the WWN of a target is not yet known (such as after a
                    drive swap).

     alarmon        This command will sound the alarm on the specified
                    enclosure.

     alarmoff       This command will turn off the alarm on the specified
                    enclosure provided that the enclosure is clear of any
                    other hardware conditions which also result in the alarm
                    sounding.

     alarmmute      This command will mute the enclosure's alarm.  Generally
                    this will result in a periodic reminder tone instead of
                    totally silencing it.


COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
     -c channel-ID  Use this option to limit a status command to a particular
                    fibre channel controller.

     -e enclosure-ID
                    Use this option to specify a particular enclosure.
                    Enclosures are identified by a 64 bit hex number similar
                    to a world wide name. (Don't forget the 0x prefix on the
                    arguments for this option.)

     -s slot-ID     Use this option for slotbypass and slotunbypass to specify
                    the enclosure's drive slot.  Slots are numbered starting
                    from 0.

     -t target-ID   Use this option to direct an action at a particular drive
                    or set of drives.  Targets are identified by their world
                    wide name, a 64 bit hex number unique to each drive.
                    (Don't forget the 0x prefix.)  If the target is operating
                    on a private loop, it is also possible to specify it by
                    its sc* name in /hw/scsi (eg sc4d65l0).


EXAMPLES
     Obtaining the revision level of the instance of sesmgr running locally

          sesmgr getversion

          sample output:
          sesdaemon version 1.0, Thu May 11 18:46:09 PDT 2000



     Obtaining a brief channel status summary:

          sesmgr getstatus

          sample output:

          CHANNEL | DRIVES    POWER    LCC     FANS     TEMP    ALARM
          --------+--------------------------------------------------
              2   |  NONE     NONE     NONE     NONE     NONE    NONE
              3   |   OK      FAIL      OK       OK       OK      ON
              4   |   OK       OK       OK       OK       OK     NONE

     The example shows that channel 3 has one or more enclosures reporting a
     power supply fault and an alarm is sounding. Channel 2 shows "NONE" which
     indicates a few possibilities.

     o  There are no recognized fibre channel enclosures connect to the
        channel.
     o  There is a communication problem on the channel.
     o  "NONE" can also mean that none of the recognized enclosures support
        that feature.  As on channel 4, the enclosures do not include an
        alarm.

     Obtaining a detailed status of an enclosure:

          sesmgr getstatus -e 0x50050cc00000205c

          sample output:
     Enclosure ID:  0x50050cc00000205c
       Vendor ID: XYRATEX
       Product ID: SS-1202-FCAL
       FRU's (Inst/Max):  11 of 12 drives
                          2 of 3 power supplies
                          1 of 2 recognized lcc's
       Last successful status poll: Tue May 16 17:19:17 2000

       PS0   OK     PS1   OK     PS2  OUT
       TEMP  OK      29 C        ALARM  OK

     The example shows that slot 2/2 does not have a drive in it, and both fan
     2 and power supply 2 are not installed.  Also this enclosure either has
     only one fibre channel loop connection or else only one is visible
     (connected) to the host.

     Illuminating the LEDs associated with disk 1/1 and 2/1:

          sesmgr ledon -t 0x20000020374bab85 -t 0x20000020374bb5e2



LIMITATIONS
     Commands which change the enclosure status will not be reflected by
     getstatus until the next status poll executes (or until a poll command is
     run).

     Currently the only supported enclosures are the Xyratex 12 slot, Xyratex
     16 slot, and Clariion 10 slot enclosures.

     Not all enclosures will support all commands or types of FRU's.  For
     example, the Xyratex 12 slot enclosure does not support enclosure bypass
     and unbypass.  And the Clariion enclosure does not have an alarm.

     The ledon and ledoff commands may indicate differently depending on the
     enclosure's implementation.  For example, the Xyratex 12 will slowly
     blink the activity led when its "on", and leave it lit solidly when
     "off".  Clariion enclosures will solidly indicate on the fault LED.

     Removing a drive can send a controller into error recovery mode as it
     tries to find the target and bring it back online.

     It may take a while for SOP_SCAN and ioconfig to complete depending on
     how large and how busy the SAN is.

     When a device is specified by its sc* loop name, the code will find that
     device.  However commands to that device may use alternate paths.

     On poll updates its possible that failed equipment may disappear and no
     longer be shown as failed.  Failed targets can be dropped from the target
     list, but they should still be printed in their enclosure slot by
     getstatus.  Enclosures which are no longer reachable (and their targets)
     may be dropped entirely.  This is due to a configuration update
     assumption that targets which do not respond were intentionally moved.

     bypass and unbypass can fail if the commands can not be issued on the
     same loop that the specified device's port is on.

     If a drive is bypassed so that the system no longer sees an active
     target, and the daemon is restarted, the target may no longer be seen.
     In this situation it will not be possible to issue an unbypass command to
     the target.  Use the slotunbypass command instead.

     In the event that an enclosure hasnt been heard from during a period
     three times sesdaemn's poll period, getstatus will show OLD for the
     status fields.  If an enclosure has been disconnected, use the poll
     command to update the configuration and status information.  More
     typically, OLD indicates that there is a communications problem.
     Depending on the nature of the problem, error recovery can hold off the
     sequential polling of other controllers.  Be advised however that OLD
     will NOT be listed if the enclosures for a controller can be reached via
     alternate paths.

     In order to run sesmgr under TRIX, the user must have a MAC label of
     dblow and a capability of CAP_PRIV_PORT.


DIFFERENCES FROM FCCLI
     Although the sesdaemon/sesmgr utilities are designed to be similar in
     look and functionality, there are some important differences.  Here are
     some of these:

     Enclosure ID's and target ID's are now 64 bit hex integers.

     insert now takes an enclosure ID, not a target ID.

     An argument id is now required before each one (eg -t) to tell what type
     it is.

     Target lists are no longer restricted to an individual controller.

     bypass and unbypass are enclosure commands only.  Loop commands are not
     attempted.
