I finally got some hobby time this afternoon and wrote a small program which displays the temperature, uptime and self-test status of SCSI drives. It can also issue self-tests.

I've tested it on only one drive, so it may not work everywhere -- let me know if something breaks

Example usage:

Code: Select all


> sudo ./scsimon /dev/scsi/sc0d1l0


Inquiry response:       [SEAGATE ST336752LC      0004]


Current temperature:    55C/131F


Maximum temperature:    65C/149F


Drive uptime (total):   524 minutes (= 0d 8h 44m)


Next internal test in:  120 minutes


Self-test data (newest first):


0: at: 8h      type: bg extended       result: completed OK


1: at: 6h      type: bg extended       result: completed OK


2: at: 5h      type: bg short          result: completed OK


3: at: 5h      type: bg short          result: aborted (SEND DIAG.)


4: at: 0h      type: bg short          result: completed OK


5: at: 0h      type: bg short          result: completed OK

Thanks!
I was able to get the temps for hard drives on different controllers without any problem:

Code: Select all


# ./scsimon /dev/scsi/sc0d1l0


Inquiry response: [SEAGATE ST336753LC      0005]

Maximum temperature: 68C/154F

1: uptime=0h  code='bg short'  result='completed OK'


# ./scsimon /dev/scsi/sc0d2l0


Inquiry response: [SEAGATE ST336753LC      0005]


Current temperature: 32C/89F


Maximum temperature: 68C/154F


Self-test data:


0: uptime=0h  code='bg short'  result='completed OK'


1: uptime=0h  code='bg short'  result='completed OK'


# ./scsimon /dev/scsi/sc7d2l0


Inquiry response: [SEAGATE ST373405LC      2203]


Current temperature: 32C/89F


Maximum temperature: 65C/149F


Self-test data:


# ./scsimon /dev/scsi/sc11d2l0


Inquiry response: [SGI     ST373307LC      2743]


Current temperature: 26C/78F


Maximum temperature: 68C/154F


Self-test data:


0: uptime=1h  code='bg short'  result='completed OK'


1: uptime=1h  code='bg short'  result='completed OK'

though the drive on controller 7 didn't return self-test data.

Thanks for testing it

I see my 2nd generation 15k drive runs much hotter than the newer-gen ones.

As for the missing self-test data, it was either cleared or the drive was never instructed to perform a self-test. There is a command which tells it to do that, I'll see if I can implement it.

Seagate drives also store the number of hours they've been powered up (in total), the next version of the program will be able to read that as well

Almost the same disk (72GB Seagate 15K.3), but this one works for me:

O300 :

Code: Select all


# ./scsimon /dev/scsi/sc0d1l0


Inquiry response: [SEAGATE ST373453LC      9507]


Current temperature: 39C/102F


Maximum temperature: 68C/154F


Self-test data:


0: uptime=7h  code='bg extended'  result='completed OK'

Octane2:

Code: Select all


# ./scsimon /dev/scsi/sc0d1l0


Inquiry response: [SEAGATE ST373453LC      9507]


Current temperature: 44C/111F


Maximum temperature: 68C/154F


Self-test data:


0: uptime=7h  code='bg extended'  result='completed OK'

Looks like the O300 does a better cooling job, even though it had a "silent fan mod"

To accentuate the special identity of the IRIS 4D/70, Silicon Graphics' designers selected a new color palette. The machine's coating blends dark grey, raspberry and beige colors into a pleasing harmony. ( IRIS 4D/70 Superworkstation Technical Report )

Many thanks.

This output is from my O2:

An 18 GB Seagate drive. Is it too old? :-(

Update : the new version also displays drive uptime and can trigger self-tests (use the -t option, e.g. "-t short" for a short self-test, you can also use the short notation "-ts" instead)
It can be downloaded from the original post.

Only background self tests ("short" and "extended") plus "abort" are supported.

The temperature readings are currently sourced from the drive's temperature log page, but it appears not all drives have that. There's a second "Informational Exceptions" log page, which also has temperature data, but the program doesn't look at that right now

I'll get to it tomorrow.

Works nifty on the scsi drives tho. Thank you.

Heres's the results of a test run using the updated version with extended test option:

0: uptime=0h  code='bg extended'  result='in progress'

2: uptime=0h  code='bg short'  result='completed OK'

and after the extended tests were completed:

Update: A new version is available (see original post).

I've added the second method of getting drive temperatures, so everyone who got an error regarding that before, please try again now.

I've also polished the self-test output a bit, added some option descriptions (run scsimon without arguments to see it) and a new '-v' option, which displays the program's version and exits.
