SMP_REP_BROADCAST(8)		    SMP_UTILS		    SMP_REP_BROADCAST(8)

NAME
     smp_rep_broadcast - invoke REPORT BROADCAST SMP function

SYNOPSIS
     smp_rep_broadcast	[--broadcast=BT]  [--help]  [--hex] [--interface=PARAMS]
     [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION
     Sends a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT BROADCAST function  re-
     quest  to an SMP target. The SMP target is identified by the SMP_DEVICE and
     the --sa=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, --broadcast=BT
	    BT is the broadcast type, an integer in the range 0 (default) to 15.
	    Broadcast (Change) corresponds to 0. Other known broadcast types are
	    listed in the NOTES section. BT may be decimal (default) or hexadec-
	    imal prefixed by '0x' (or '0X') or with a 'h' (or 'H') suffix.

     -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  er-
	    ror messages are sent to stderr.

     -s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
	    specifies  the  SAS address of the SMP target device. The mpt inter-
	    face needs this option and it will typically be  an  expander's  SAS
	    address. 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.

NOTES
     The following is a list of broadcast types:
     0	      Broadcast (Change)
     1	      Broadcast (Reserved change 0)
     2	      Broadcast (Reserved change 1)
     3	      Broadcast (SES)
     4	      Broadcast (Expander)
     5	      Broadcast (Asynchronous event)
     6	      Broadcast (Reserved 3)
     7	      Broadcast (Reserved 4)
     8	      Broadcast (Zone activate)

     The remaining zone types (9 to 15) may be issued  by  the	ZONED  BROADCAST
     function.

CONFORMING TO
     The SMP REPORT BROADCAST function was introduced in SAS-2 .
