✨ NAME ✨

sg_rdac - display or modify SCSI RDAC Redundant Controller mode page 💅

---

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

sg_rdac [-6] [-a] [-f=LUN] [-v] [-V] DEVICE

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so sg_rdac lets you look at or change the RDAC controller settings through the Redundant Controller mode page (0x2C) 🦋 when you're changing stuff, you can transfer ownership of individual drives over to whichever controller you sent the command to. it's giving control, periodt 👑

---

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• -6 — uses the 6 byte cdb variants of the SCSI MODE SENSE and MODE SELECT commands 🙈 if you leave this out, it defaults to the 10 byte cdb variants, so you don't have to do anything 🫶
• -a — transfers all (visible) devices ✨
• -f=LUN — transfers the device identified by LUN 🔥 heads up, this only works if the controller supports 'Dual Active Mode' (aka active/active mode) 😭 LUN is a decimal number, and the limit depends on your cdb: it can't go past 31 if you're using -6, otherwise it can't go past 255 💀
• -v — be verbose 🌈
• -V — prints the version string, then exits 🍓

---

🦋 EXIT STATUS 🦋

ok so the exit status of sg_rdac is 0 when it works 🥹 if it doesn't, check out the sg3_utils(8) man page for the rest of the codes 📖
