The environmental services class generally are enclosure devices that provide environmental information such as number of power supplies (and state), temperature, device slots, and so on. .Pp A .Tn SCSI Host adapter must also be separately configured into the system before a .Tn SCSI Environmental Services device can be configured. .Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION It is only necessary to explicitly configure one .Nm device; data structures are dynamically allocated as devices are found on the .Tn SCSI bus. .Pp A separate option, .Va SES_ENABLE_PASSTHROUGH , may be specified to allow the .Nm driver to perform functions on devices of other classes that claim to also support .Nm functionality. .Sh IOCTLS The following .Xr ioctl 2 calls apply to .Nm devices. They are defined in the header file .In cam/scsi/scsi_ses.h (\fIq.v.\fR). .Bl -tag -width SESIOC_GETENCSTAT .It Dv SESIOC_GETNOBJ Used to find out how many .Nm objects are driven by this particular device instance. .It Dv SESIOC_GETOBJMAP Read, from the kernel, an array of SES objects which contains the object identifier, which subenclosure it is in, and the .Nm type of the object. .It Dv SESIOC_GETENCSTAT Get the overall enclosure status. .It Dv SESIOC_SETENCSTAT Set the overall enclosure status. .It Dv SESIOC_GETOBJSTAT Get the status of a particular object. .It Dv SESIOC_SETOBJSTAT Set the status of a particular object. .It Dv SESIOC_GETTEXT Get the associated help text for an object (not yet implemented). .Nm devices often have descriptive text for an object which can tell you things like location (e.g., "left power supply"). .It Dv SESIOC_INIT Initialize the enclosure. .El .Sh EXAMPLE USAGE The files contained in .In usr/share/examples/ses show simple mechanisms for how to use these interfaces, as well as a very stupid simple monitoring daemon. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /dev/rsdXXXXX -compact .It Pa /dev/ses Ns Ar N The .Em Nth .Nm SES device. .El .Sh DIAGNOSTICS When the kernel is configured with .Tn DEBUG enabled, the first open to an SES device will spit out overall enclosure parameters to the console. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr sesutil 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver was written for the .Tn CAM .Tn SCSI subsystem by Matthew Jacob. This is a functional equivalent of a similar driver available in Solaris, Release 7.
