Welcome to the openSeaChest open source project!

BINARIES and SOURCE CODE files of the openSeaChest open source project have been made available to you under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL). The openSeaChest project repository is maintained at https://github.com/Seagate/openSeaChest.

openSeaChest diagnostics are command line utilities which are available for expert users. These command line tools assume the user is knowledgeable about running software from the operating system command prompt. CLI tools are in the English language only and use "command line arguments" to define the various tasks and specific devices. openSeaChest diagnostics are available for both Linux and Windows environments.

This User Guide file contains important information about openSeaChest LogParser. Please read this entire file before using this software.

NOTE: openSeaChest_LogParser may not be fully functional on non-Seagate drives.

Raw binary logs are usually pulled from the drives using the openSeaChest_Logs tool. openSeaChest_LogParser is used to humanize the data for analysis.

The following table shows the correlation between the names of the logs types and the associated commands for each of the two tools:

Log Name _Logs command _LogParser --logType _Logs output file name

About openSeaChest Command Line Diagnostics

Seagate offers both graphical user interface (GUI) and command line interface (CLI) diagnostic tools for our storage devices. SeaTools for Windows and SeaTools Bootable for end users are the two most popular GUI tools. These tools support 15 languages.

openSeaChest diagnostics are command line utilities which are available for expert users. These command line tools assume the user is knowledgeable about running software from the operating system command prompt. CLI tools are in the English language only and use "command line arguments" to define the various tasks and specific devices. openSeaChest diagnostics are available for both Linux and Windows environments.

Linux versions of openSeaChest tools are available as stand alone 32 or 64-bit executables you can copy to your own system. Windows OS versions of openSeaChest diagnostics are installed through a typical setup wizard and can be removed via the Control Panel.

In addition, Seagate offers a tool to build a bootable USB openSeaChest flash drive which boots to a 32-bit Linux command prompt. This is a Windows executable file which formats a USB Flash drive you provide. It copies over all the files needed to use it as a bootable device for the openSeaChest diagnostic software. All data on the USB Flash drive will be erased so be sure to protect any valuable files.

Technical Support for openSeaChest drive utilities is not available. If you have the time to send us some feedback about this software, especially if you notice something we should fix or improve, we would greatly appreciate hearing from you. To report your comments and suggestions, please use this email seaboard@seagate.com. Please let us know the name and version of the tool you are using.

openSeaChest drive utilities support SATA, SAS and USB interface devices.

openSeaChest Basics - Contains the most important tests and tools.

Other openSeaChest "break out" utilities are available and listed below which offer more in-depth functionality in specific areas. These are:

openSeaChest Configure - Tools to control various settings on the drives are brought together into this one tool. Typical commands, for example, include Write Cache and Read Lookahead Cache enable or disable.

openSeaChest Erase - The focus is on data erasure. There are many different choices for erasing data from simple boot track erase to full cryptographic erasure (when supported). Be sure to back up important data before using this tool. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data. This tool only works on Seagate drives.

openSeaChest Firmware - Seagate products are run by firmware. Having the latest firmware can improve performance and or reliability of your product. Seagate recommends applying new firmware to enhance the performance and or reliability of your drive. Most products may see one or two firmware updates within the early life of the product.

openSeaChest Format - Storage products which utilize the SAS, SCSI or Fibre Channel interfaces are able to perform a full low-level media format in the field. The SCSI Format Unit command offers many specialty options to accommodate a variety of conditions and to fine tune the procedure. This complex command deserves its own "break out" utility.

openSeaChest GenericTests - Read Tests are the original disk drive diagnostic which is to just read every sector on the drive, sequentially. This tool offers several common read tests which can be defined by either time or range. In addition, the Long Generic test has the ability to repair problem sectors, possibly eliminating an unnecessary drive return.

openSeaChest Info - Historical generic activity logs (like total bytes written and power on hours) and performance logs (like temperature) are available for analytical review. Identification and inquiry data stored on the drive is also provided. A view of SMART and device statistics is available when supported by the drive.

openSeaChest PowerControl - Seagate disk drives offer a multitude of options to manage power. This tool manipulates the various power modes.

openSeaChest Security - Various settings are available on modern Seagate disk drives which may be locked and unlocked. These settings may interact with the operating systems and systems BIOS. Options also include cryptographic erase for Self-Encrypting Drives (SED).

openSeaChest SMART - This tool provides a closer look at the collected SMART attributes data. SMART stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology. Short Drive Self Test is included as one of the standard SMART commands. In addition, the DST & Clean test has the ability to repair problem sectors, possibly eliminating an unnecessary drive return.

3.5. Application of Additional Terms

You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any jurisdiction.

  1. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation

If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.

  1. Termination

5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after Your receipt of the notice.

5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions, counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section 2.1 of this License shall terminate.

5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License prior to termination shall survive termination.
