Ar lun .Op Fl r Ar rounds .Ar device .Sh DESCRIPTION RAID device drivers which support management functionality can register their services with the .Xr bio 4 driver. .Nm bioctl then can be used to maintain RAID volumes. .Pp In the first synopsis, RAID controllers are managed. .Ar device specifies either a drive (e.g. sd0) or a RAID controller (e.g. ami0). For operations which will be performed against .Xr ses 4 or .Xr safte 4 enclosures, it is also possible to directly specify the enclosure name (e.g. safte0). .Pp In the second synopsis, .Xr softraid 4 volumes are managed. .Ar device specifies either a volume (e.g. sd0) or the .Xr softraid 4 controller (always softraid0). .Pp The options for RAID controllers are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl a Ar alarm-function Control the RAID card's alarm functionality, if supported. .Ar alarm-function may be one of: .Pp .Bl -tag -width disable -compact .It Cm disable Disable the alarm on the RAID controller. .It Cm enable Enable the alarm on the RAID controller. .It Cm get Retrieve the current alarm state (enabled or disabled). .It Cm silence | quiet Silence the alarm if it is currently beeping. .El .Pp The .Ar alarm-function may be specified as given above, or by the first letter only (e.g. -a e). .It Fl b Ar channel : Ns Ar target Ns Op Pf . Ar lun Instruct the device at .Ar channel : Ns Ar target Ns Op Pf . Ar lun to start blinking, if there is .Xr ses 4 or .Xr safte 4 support in the enclosure. .It Fl H Ar channel : Ns Ar target Ns Op Pf . Ar lun If the device at .Ar channel : Ns Ar target Ns Op Pf . Ar lun is currently marked .Dq Unused , promote it to being a .Dq Hot Spare . .It Fl h Where necessary, produce .Dq human-readable output. Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte, Petabyte, Exabyte in order to reduce the number of digits to four or less. .It Fl i Enumerate the selected RAID devices. This is the default if no other option is given. .It Fl q Show vendor, product, revision, and serial number for the given disk. .It Fl R Ar chunk | channel : Ns Ar target Ns Op Pf . Ar lun Manually kick off a rebuild of a degraded RAID volume, using .Ar chunk or .Ar channel : Ns Ar target Ns Op Pf . Ar lun as a new chunk (with .Xr softraid 4 , a partition of fstype .Dq RAID ) , replacing the offline chunk in the volume; it is not possible to change the number of chunks. The .Ar chunk must be specified as a full path to a device file (e.g. /dev/wd0d). A RAID volume rather than a RAID controller is expected as the final argument. .It Fl t Ar patrol-function Control the RAID card's patrol functionality, if supported. .Ar patrol-function may be one of: .Pp .Bl -tag -width disable -compact .It Cm stop Stop the patrol on the RAID controller. .It Cm start Start the patrol on the RAID controller. .It Cm get Retrieve the current patrol configuration. .It Cm disable Disable the patrol functionality. .It Cm manual Enable the patrol functionality to start/stop manually. .It Cm auto Ns Op Pf . Ar interval Ns Op Pf . Ar start Enable the patrol functionality to start/stop automatically in every .Ar interval seconds, starting the first iteration after .Ar start seconds. .El .It Fl u Ar channel : Ns Ar target Ns Op Pf . Ar lun Instruct the device at .Ar channel : Ns Ar target Ns Op Pf . Ar lun to cease blinking, if there is .Xr ses 4 or .Xr safte 4 support in the enclosure. .It Fl v Be more verbose in output. .El .Pp In addition to the relevant options listed above, the options for .Xr softraid 4 devices are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl C Ar flag Ns Op Pf , Ar ... Pass .Ar flag to .Nm . May be one of: .Pp .Bl -tag -width disable -compact .It Cm force Force the operation; for example, force the creation of volumes with unclean data in the metadata areas. .It Cm noauto Do not automatically assemble this volume at boot time. .El .It Fl c Ar raidlevel Create a new .Xr softraid 4 volume of level .Ar raidlevel . The .Ar device must be .Dq softraid0 ; it supports multiple volumes. .Pp Valid raidlevels are: .Pp .Bl -tag -width 2n -offset 3n -compact .It Cm 0 RAID 0: A striping discipline. .It Cm 1 RAID 1: A mirroring discipline. .It Cm 5 RAID 5: A striping discipline with floating parity chunk. .It Cm C CRYPTO: An encrypting discipline. .It Cm c CONCAT: A concatenating discipline. .It Cm 1C RAID 1 + CRYPTO: An encrypting and mirroring discipline. .El .Pp The CONCAT discipline requires a minimum of one chunk, RAID 0 and RAID 1 disciplines require a minimum of two chunks, RAID 5 requires a minimum of three chunks and the CRYPTO discipline requires exactly one chunk to be provided via .Fl l . .Pp The RAID 1C discipline requires a minimum of two chunks when a new volume is created, and a minimum of one chunk when an existing volume is assembled. Missing RAID 1C chunks will be marked as offline and must be rebuilt before they become part of the array again. .It Fl d Detach volume specified by .Ar device . .It Fl k Ar keydisk Use special device .Ar keydisk as a key disk for a crypto volume. .It Fl l Ar chunk Ns Op Pf , Ar ... Use the .Ar chunk device list to create a new volume within the .Xr softraid 4 framework. Requires .Fl c . .It Fl O Ar chunk | channel : Ns Ar target Ns Op Pf . Ar lun Set the state of .Ar chunk or .Ar channel : Ns Ar target Ns Op Pf . Ar lun to offline. The state of the RAID volume will change in the same way that it would if the disk physically went offline. The .Ar chunk must be specified as a full path to a device file (e.g. /dev/wd0d). A RAID volume rather than a RAID controller is expected as the .Ar device argument. .It Fl P Change the passphrase on the selected crypto volume. .It Fl p Ar passfile Passphrase file used when crypto volumes are brought up. This file must be root owned and have 0600 permissions. .It Fl r Ar rounds The number of iterations for the KDF algorithm to use when converting a passphrase into a key, in order to create a new encrypted volume or change the passphrase of an existing encrypted volume. A larger number of iterations takes more time, but offers increased resistance against passphrase guessing attacks. By default, or if .Ar rounds is specified as .Cm auto , the number of rounds will automatically be based on system performance. The minimum is 16 rounds. .It Fl s Read passphrases from .Pa /dev/stdin rather than .Pa /dev/tty , without prompts, confirmation or retry on mismatch. .El .Sh EXAMPLES Configure a new .Xr softraid 4 volume with four chunks (/dev/sd2e, /dev/sd3e, /dev/sd4e, /dev/sd5e) and a RAID level of 1: .Bd -literal -offset 3n # bioctl -c 1 -l /dev/sd2e,/dev/sd3e,/dev/sd4e,/dev/sd5e softraid0 .Ed .Pp Configure a new .Xr softraid 4 volume with one chunk (/dev/sd2e) and an encrypting discipline: .Bd -literal -offset 3n # bioctl -c C -l /dev/sd2e softraid0 .Ed .Pp .Nm will ask for a passphrase, which will be needed to unlock the encrypted disk. After creating a newly encrypted disk, the first megabyte of it should be zeroed, so tools like .Xr fdisk 8 or .Xr disklabel 8 don't get confused by the random data that appears on the new disk: .Bd -literal -offset 3n # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd3c bs=1m count=1 .Ed .Pp Detaching a softraid volume requires the exact volume name. For example: .Bd -literal -offset 3n # bioctl -d sd2 .Ed .Pp Start a rebuild of the degraded softraid volume sd0 using a new chunk on wd0d: .Bd -literal -offset 3n # bioctl -R /dev/wd0d sd0 .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr bio 4 , .Xr scsi 4 , .Xr softraid 4 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm command first appeared in .Ox 3.8 . .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm interface was written by .An Marco Peereboom Aq Mt marco@openbsd.org .
