NAME
smp_rep_general - invoke REPORT GENERAL SMP function
SYNOPSIS
smp_rep_general [--change_report] [--help] [--hex] [--interface=PARAMS]
[--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]
DESCRIPTION
Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT GENERAL request function
to a 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. With one interface there is one SMP_DEVICE per machine
so the SMP_DEVICE,N syntax is needed to differentiate between HBAs if
there are multiple present.
OPTIONS
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as
well.
-c, --change_report
reports (prints to stdout) the value of the expander change
count field from the response. The value is printed in decimal
and is obtained from a 16 bit field.
-h, --help
output the usage message then exit.
-H, --hex
output the response 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 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.
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
