# NAME

`safte` — SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosure

# SYNOPSIS

`safte* at scsibus?`

# DESCRIPTION

The `safte` driver provides support for monitoring the various environmental sensors present in SCSI enclosures using the SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosure command set. The hardware monitor is used with the sysctl(8) interface.

SAF-TE compliant devices can provide an arbitrary set of sensors from the following types:

Sensor | Units | Typical Use
`temp` | uK | temperature
`fan` | RPM | fan
`psu` | On/Off | power supply
`doorlock` | On/Off | door lock
`alarm` | On/Off | enclosure alarm

Sensor data is updated every 10 seconds.

An enclosure may provide environmental information using an alternative to the SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosure command set used by this driver. Enclosures using the SCSI Enclosure Services command set may be monitored by the ses(4) driver.
