Tutorial[ Seagate Disks ]: Install Seagate OpenSeaChest Utilities

[tuxd3v]

Thanks for the output..

Indeed this seems to be one of the 2 possibilities..

1) The compiled Binaries have some problem.
2) The pcie controllers in the middle doesn't let Seagate Firmware Commands pass-trough, and blocks them..

Assuming case 1) its ok..

Going with option
 2) "Pass-Trough"

Probably Pcie controller is blocking the commands that openSeaChest is sending to disks..
Probably it doesn't understand them as they are Seagate Own Command specific, and reject them..

Check if you can detect the disks trough one of this flags :

Try:

Code:

openSeaChest_Basics --scan --scanFlags interfaceSCSI interfaceATA interfaceUSB sd ata scsi -V 4

If you don't succeed, try with option.. scan but with 'S' -> --Scan

Code:

    -S, --Scan
        This option is the same as --scan or -s,
        however it will also perform a low level rescan to pick up
        other devices. This low level rescan may wake devices from low
        power states and may cause the OS to re-enumerate them.
        Use this option when a device is plugged in and not discovered in
        a normal scan.
        NOTE: A low-level rescan may not be available on all interfaces or
        all OSs. The low-level rescan is not guaranteed to find additional
        devices in the system when the device is unable to come to a ready state.

Code:

openSeaChest_Basics --Scan --scanFlags interfaceSCSI interfaceATA interfaceUSB sd ata scsi -V 4
