SMP_REP_GENERAL(8) SMP_UTILS SMP_REP_GENERAL(8) 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_DE- VICE 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 iden- tify a HBA (an SMP initiator) and needs the additional ,N to differen- tiate 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 RE- PORT 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 ad- ditions in SAS-1.1 . There have been a large number of additions in SAS-2 . AUTHORS Written by Douglas Gilbert. REPORTING BUGS Report bugs to <dgilbert at interlog dot com>.
