Greetings,

I'm beating my head against the desk trying to use sg_ses to change the cooling control element requested speed code for a fan connected to an LSI SAS2X36 SAS expander.

I have tried the raw->edit<-raw method and tried the --data/--index/--control method and neither seems to work.

Polling status for the cooling element (--index=26) gets me:

Element 26 descriptor:
        Predicted failure=0, Disabled=0, Swap=0, status: OK
        Ident=0, Hot swap=0, Fail=0, Requested on=1, Off=0
        Actual speed=4920 rpm, Fan at lowest speed

Issuing the following command doesn't change the rpm speed:
'sg_ses --page=0x2 /dev/sg1 --index=26 --control --data=70,00,00,27'

Per the SES spec that string should select "Fan at highest speed".

I have also tried taking the raw output, editing the bytes for the element and sending it back and it also does nothing. The sg_ses command succeeds but there are no intended results.

Am I using the command syntax correctly? I want to be sure before I go after the vendor for improper support of the SES specification.


Thanks!

--Jeff
