=head1 NAME

ledctl - Intel(R) LED control application for a storage enclosures.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<ledctl> [I<OPTIONS>] I<pattern_name>=I<list_of_devices> ...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The ledctl is an user space application designed to control LEDs associated with each
slot in an enclosure or a drive bay. The LEDs of devices listed in I<list_of_devices>
are set to the given pattern I<pattern_name> and all other LEDs are turned off.
User must have root privileges to use this application.

There are two types of systems: 2-LEDs systems (Activity LED, Status LED)
and 3-LEDs systems (Activity LED, Locate LED, Fail LED).
The ledctl application uses SGPIO and SES-2 protocol to control LEDs.
The program implements IBPI patterns of SFF-8489 specification for SGPIO.
Please note some enclosures do not stick close to SFF-8489 specification.
It might happen that enclosure's processor will accept an IBPI pattern but it will
blink the LEDs at variance with SFF-8489 specification or it has limited number
of patterns supported.

LED management (AHCI) and S<SAF-TE> protocols are not supported.

The ledctl application has been verified to work with Intel(R) storage
controllers (i.e. Intel(R) AHCI controller and Intel(R) SAS controller).
The application might work with storage controllers of other vendors
(especially SCSI/SAS controllers). However, storage controllers of other
vendors have not been tested.

The ledmon application has the highest priority when accessing LEDs.
It means that some patterns set by ledctl may have no effect if ledmon is running
(except Locate pattern).

The ledctl application is a part of Intel(R) Enclosure LED Utilities.

=head2 Pattern Names

The ledctl application accepts the following names for I<pattern_name> argument
according to SFF-8489 specification.

translation is being done.

I<locate> is translated to I<ses_ident> 

=item B<locate_off>

I<locate_off> is translated to I<~ses_ident>

=item B<normal> or B<off>

I<normal> or I<off> is translated to I<ses_ok>

=item B<failure> or B<disk_failed>

I<failure> or I<disk_failed> is translated to I<ses_fault>

=head2 List of Devices

The application accepts a list of devices in two formats. The first
format is a list with comma separated elements. The second format is S<a
list> in curly braces and elements are separated by space. See examples
section below for details.

A device is a path to file in /dev directory or in /sys/block directory.
It may identify a block device, a RAID device or a container device.
In case of a RAID device or a container device a state will be set for all
block devices associated, respectively.

The LEDs of devices listed in I<list_of_devices> are set to the given
pattern I<pattern_name> and all other LEDs are turned off (unless --listed-only
option is given).

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 8

=item B<-l> or B<--log>=I<path>

Sets a path to local log file. If this option is specified the global log
file F</var/log/ledctl.log> is not used.

=item B<-h> or B<--help>

Prints this text out and exits.

=item B<-v> or B<--version>

Displays version of ledctl and information about the license and exits.

=item B<-L> or B<--list-controllers>

Prints information (system path and type) of all controllers detected by
ledmon and exits.

=item B<-x> or B<--listed-only>

With this option ledctl will change state only on devices listed in CLI. The
rest of devices will not be touched.

=item B<--quiet> or B<--error> or B<--warning> or B<--info> or B<--debug> or B<--all>

Verbose level - 'quiet' means no logging at all and 'all' means to log
everything. The levels are given in order. If user specifies more then one
verbose option the last option comes into effect. The default level is
'warning'. Verbose level also can be set by B<--log-level>=I<level>.

=back

=head1 FILES

=over 8

=item F</var/log/ledctl.log>

Global log file, used by all instances of ledctl application. To force logging
to user defined file use I<-l> option switch.

=back

=head1 EXAMPLES

The following example illustrates how to locate a single block device.

    ledctl locate=/dev/sda

The following example illustrates how to turn Locate LED off for the same block device.

    ledctl locate_off=/dev/sda

The following example illustrates how to locate disks of a RAID device and
how to set rebuild pattern for two block devices at the same time. This example
uses both formats of device list.

     ledctl locate=/dev/md127 rebuild={ /sys/block/sd[a-b] }

The following example illustrates how to turn Status LED and Failure LED off for
the given device(s).

     ledctl off={ /dev/sda /dev/sdb }

The following example illustrates how to locate a three block devices. This
example uses the first format of device list.

     ledctl locate=/dev/sda,/dev/sdb,/dev/sdc
