NAME
       sg_stpg - send SCSI SET TARGET PORT GROUPS command

SYNOPSIS
       sg_stpg	[--active]  [--help] [--hex] [--offline] [--optimized] [--raw]
       [--standby] [--state=S,S...] [--tp=P,P...] [--unavailable]  [--verbose]
       [--version] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION
       Send  a SCSI SET	TARGET PORT GROUPS command to DEVICE. This utility has
       different modes depending on whether the	--tp= option is	given.

       If --tp=	is given then the SET TARGET  PORT  GROUPS  command  parameter
       block  is built with a descriptor for each element in the list given to
       --tp=. The corresponding	asymmetric access state	value is either	 taken
       from  the  --state=  list or, if	that is	not given, from	one of the ex-
       plicit state options (e.g. --unavailable), used repeatedly if required.

       If --tp=	is not given then a sequence of	SCSI commands are sent to  the
       DEVICE  leading	up to the SET TARGET PORT GROUPS command. First	an IN-
       QUIRY is	sent to	fetch the device identification	VPD page to  find  the
       (primary)  target port group associated with DEVICE. Then a REPORT TAR-
       GET PORT	GROUPS command is issued to find the current state and whether
       a transition to the requested state is supported. If so the SET	TARGET
       PORT GROUPS command is sent.

       Target  port group access is described in SPC-4 found at	www.t10.org in
       sections	5.8 and	5.16 (in rev 36e dated 2012/8/24). The SET TARGET PORT
       GROUPS command is also described	in section 6.45	of that	document.

OPTIONS
       Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.  The
       options are arranged in alphabetical order based	 on  the  long	option
       name.

       -a, --active
	      set active/non-optimized state.

       -h, --help
	      output the usage message then exit.

       -H, --hex
	      output  response to the REPORT TARGET PORT GROUPS	command	in hex
	      then exit.

       -O, -l, --offline
	      set offline state. This is the appropriate state to set a	target
	      port to prior to removing	the device.  Note that a relative tar-
	      get port identifier should be given with this state (rather than
	      a	target port group identifier that all other states take).

       -o, --optimized
	      set active/optimized state. If no	other state options  or	 --tp=
	      option are given then active/optimized is	the default state.

       -r, --raw
	      output  response to the REPORT TARGET PORT GROUPS	command	in bi-
	      nary to stdout then exit.

       -s, --standby
	      set standby state. Port group shall accept those commands	listed
	      for  "unavailable"  state	 plus  LOG  SELECT/SENSE,   MODE   SE-
	      LECT/SENSE, RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS, SEND DIAGNOSTIC, PERSIS-
	      TENT RESERVE IN/OUT commands.

       -S, --state=S,S...
	      specifies	 a  comma  separated  list  (one  element  of more) of
	      states. Either a number or an abbreviation can be	given. A  num-
	      ber  is  assumed to be a decimal number unless it	is prefixed by
	      "0x" or has a trailing "h" in which case a hexadecimal value  is
	      assumed.	Only the values	0, 1, 2, 3 or 14 are accepted. The ac-
	      cepted abbreviations are "an", "ao", "o",	"s" or "u"; which rep-
	      resent   active/non-optimized(1),	   active/optimized(0),	   of-
	      fline(14), standby(2) or unavailable(3) respectively.

       -t, --tp=P,P...
	      specifies	a comma	separated list (one element of more). Each el-
	      ements is	either a target	port group identifier (when the	corre-
	      sponding	state  is  other  than "offline") or a relative	target
	      port identifier (when the	 corresponding	state  is  "offline").
	      Each element is assumed to be a decimal number unless it is pre-
	      fixed  by	"0x" or	has a trailing "h" in which case a hexadecimal
	      value is assumed.

       -u, --unavailable
	      set unavailable state. Port group	shall only accept INQUIRY, RE-
	      PORT LUNS, REPORT/SET TARGET  PORT  GROUPS,  REQUEST  SENSE  and
	      READ/WRITE BUFFER	commands.

       -v, --verbose
	      increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).

       -V, --version
	      print the	version	string and then	exit.

NOTES
       The  SET	 TARGET	 PORT  GROUPS command should be	supported whenever the
       TPGS value in a standard	INQUIRY	response is 2 or 3. [View with	sg_inq
       utility.]

       Notice  that  the  offline  state is termed as a	"secondary target port
       asymmetric access state"	and takes a relative  target  port  identifier
       (i.e.   acts  on	a single target	port). All the other states are	termed
       as "primary target port asymmetric access states" and each takes	a tar-
       get port	group identifier (i.e. acts on one or more target ports).

       When --tp= is given then	the same number	of elements should be given to
       the --state= option. If more than one list element is  given  to	 --tp=
       and  an equal number of elements	is _not_ given to the --state= option,
       then if only one	state is specified then	it is repeated.

EXIT STATUS
       The exit	status of sg_stpg is 0 when it is  successful.	Otherwise  see
       the sg3_utils(8)	man page.
