ses(7D) Devices ses(7D)NAMEses - SCSI enclosure services device driver
SYNOPSIS
ses@target,lun
DESCRIPTION
The ses device driver is an interface to SCSI enclosure services
devices. These devices sense and monitor the physical conditions in an
enclosure as well as allow access to the status reporting and configu‐
ration features of the enclosure (such as indicator LEDs on the enclo‐
sure.)
ioctl(9E) calls may be issued to ses to determine the state of the
enclosure and to set parameters on the enclosure services device.
No ses driver properties are defined. Use the ses.conf file to config‐
ure the ses driver.

IOCTLS
The SES driver currently supports the SES, SAFTE and SEN enclosure ser‐
vice chipsets. SEN and SAFTE protocols are translated internally in the
driver into SES compliant data structures. This enables the SES driver
to work seamlessly with different protocols and eliminates the need to
enhance user applications.
SESIOC_GETNOBJ Returns an unsigned integer that represents the
number of SES data structures in the enclosure
services chip.
SESIOC_GETOBJMAP Returns a size array containing ses_object ele‐
ments communicated through SESIOC_GETNOBJ().
ses_object is defined in sesio.h.
SESIOC_INIT Instructs the device to perform a self-diagnostic
test. Currently SES & SEN devices always return
success.
SESIOC_GETENCSTAT Returns an unsigned character that represents sta‐
tus enclosure as defined by Table 25 in Section
7.1.2 of the SES specification NCITS 305-199x.
SESIOC_GETOBJSTAT This ioctl is passed an ses_objarg containing the
obj_id you want to set, then fills in the remain‐
ing fields according to element status page of the
SES specification.
SESIOC_SETOBJSTAT Sets options in the control field. You set control
field options by filling out all fields in
ses_objarg. Field definitions are presented in
Section 7.2.2 of the SES specification.
