smartctl smartctl controls the self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technology (SMART) system built into most ATA/SATA and SCSI/SAS hard drives and solid-state drives. The purpose of SMART is to monitor the reliability of the hard drive and predict drive failures, and to carry out different types of drive self-tests. smarttool This optional tool is only available on systems using a SmartFusion chip. The SMF controls the PSU, LED control, fan monitoring, and temperature control of the switch. Use the smarttool to get and set the SmartFusion Active regions and version, and to reprogram the SmartFusion FPGA. SmartFusion (SMF) had two upgradable parts - Microcontroller subsystem (MSS) and field programmable gate array (FPGA), as shown. The online upgrade MSS images are in *.bin files. The online upgrade of FPGA image is in a *.dat file. The external upgrade of both MSS and FPGA is a *.pdb file. There are three regions in the MSS: G - Golden, A - Primary, and B - Secondary. In principle, you cannot upgrade the region G and the bootloader. Golden is the default bootable region. If both regions A and B become corrupt, the region G image is used for booting. If A becomes corrupt, select region B and boot from region B.

smartctl
controls the self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technology (SMART) system built into most ATA/SATA and SCSI/SAS
hard drives and solid-state drives. The purpose of SMART is to monitor the reliability of the hard drive and predict drive failures, and to
carry out
different
types of drive self-tests.
smarttool
This optional tool is only available on systems using a SmartFusion chip. The SMF controls the PSU, LED control, fan monitoring, and
temperature control of the switch.
Use the
smarttool
to get and set the SmartFusion Active regions and version, and to reprogram the SmartFusion FPGA.
SmartFusion (SMF) had two upgradable parts — Microcontroller subsystem (MSS) and
field
programmable gate array (FPGA), as shown.
The online upgrade MSS images are in
*.bin
files.
The online upgrade of FPGA image is in a
*.dat
file.
The external upgrade of both
MSS and FPGA is a
*.pdb
file.
There are three regions in the MSS: G — Golden, A — Primary, and B — Secondary. In principle, you cannot upgrade the region G and the
bootloader. Golden is the default bootable region. If both regions A and B become corrupt, the region G image is used for booting. If A
becomes corrupt, select region B and boot from region B.
