NAME
smp_rep_general - invoke REPORT GENERAL SMP function
SYNOPSIS
smp_rep_general [--brief] [--changecount] [--help] [--hex] [--inter-
face=PARAMS] [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] [--zero]
SMP_DEVICE[,N]
DESCRIPTION
Sends a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT GENERAL function
request to an SMP target. The SMP target is identified by the
SMP_DEVICE and the SAS_ADDR. Depending on the interface, the SAS_ADDR
may be deduced from the SMP_DEVICE. The mpt interface uses SMP_DEVICE
to identify a HBA (an SMP initiator) and needs the additional ,N to
differentiate between HBAs if there are multiple present.
OPTIONS
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as
well.
-b, --brief
reports (prints to stdout) only a few important fields from the
response.
-c, --changecount
reports (prints to stdout) the value of the expander change
count field from the response. The value is printed in decimal
and is in the range 0 to 65535. Only expanders compliant with
SAS-1.1 (and earlier) should yield 0. [Expanders compliant with
SAS-2 (and later) should set the "long response" bit in the
REPORT GENERAL response to 1.]
-h, --help
output the usage message then exit.
-H, --hex
output the response (less the CRC field) in hexadecimal.
-I, --interface=PARAMS
interface specific parameters. In this case "interface" refers
to the path through the operating system to the SMP initiator.
See the smp_utils man page for more information.
-r, --raw
send the response (less the CRC field) to stdout in binary. All
error messages are sent to stderr.
-s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
specifies the SAS address of the SMP target device. Typically
this is an expander. This option may not be needed if the
SMP_DEVICE has the target's SAS address within it. The SAS_ADDR
is in decimal but most SAS addresses are shown in hexadecimal.
To give a number in hexadecimal either prefix it with '0x' or
put a trailing 'h' on it.
-v, --verbose
increase the verbosity of the output. Can be used multiple times
-V, --version
print the version string and then exit.
-z, --zero
zero the Allocated Response Length field in the request. This is
required for strict SAS-1.1 compliance. However this option
should not be given in SAS-2 and later; if it is given an
abridged response may result.
EXAMPLES
See "Examples" section in http://sg.danny.cz/sg/smp_utils.html
CONFORMING TO
The SMP REPORT GENERAL function was introduced in SAS-1, with small
additions in SAS-1.1 . There have been a large number of additions in
SAS-2 .
