NAME

6       smp_zone_activate - invoke ZONE ACTIVATE SMP function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       smp_zone_activate [--expected=EX] [--help] [--hex] [--interface=PARAMS]
10       [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Sends a SAS Serial Management Protocol  (SMP)  ZONE  ACTIVATE  function
14       request  to  an  SMP  target.  The  SMP  target  is  identified  by the
15       SMP_DEVICE and the  --sa=SAS_ADDR.  Depending  on  the  interface,  the
16       SAS_ADDR  may  be  deduced  from the SMP_DEVICE. The mpt interface uses
17       SMP_DEVICE to identify a HBA (an SMP initiator)  and  needs  the  addi‐
18       tional ,N to differentiate between HBAs if there are multiple present.
19
20       This  function, if successful, will cause various zoning related shadow
21       values (e.g. zone permission table and  zone  phy  information)  to  be
22       copied  to  the  corresponding current values. If the saving to "saved"
23       values option has been selected then the various zoning related  shadow
24       values will also be copied to the corresponding saved values.
25

OPTIONS

27       Mandatory  arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as
28       well.
29
30       -E, --expected=EX
31              set the 'expected  expander  change  count'  field  in  the  SMP
32              request.  The value EX is from 0 to 65535 inclusive with 0 being
33              the default value. When EX is greater  than  zero  then  if  the
34              value  doesn't match the expander change count of the SMP target
35              (i.e. the expander) when the request  arrives  then  the  target
36              ignores  the  request  and  sets  a  function result of "invalid
37              expander change count" in the response.
38
39       -h, --help
40              output the usage message then exit.
41
42       -H, --hex
43              output the response (less the CRC field) in hexadecimal.
44
45       -I, --interface=PARAMS
46              interface specific parameters. In this case  "interface"  refers
47              to  the  path through the operating system to the SMP initiator.
48              See the smp_utils man page for more information.
49
50       -r, --raw
51              send the response (less the CRC field) to stdout in binary.  All
52              error messages are sent to stderr.
53
54       -s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
55              specifies  the  SAS  address  of  the SMP target device. The mpt
56              interface  needs  this  option  and  it  will  typically  be  an
57              expander's  SAS address. The SAS_ADDR is in decimal but most SAS
58              addresses are shown in hexadecimal.  To give a number  in  hexa‐
59              decimal either prefix it with '0x' or put a trailing 'h' on it.
60
61       -v, --verbose
62              increase  the  verbosity  of  the  output.  Can be used multiple
63              times.
64
65       -V, --version
66              print the version string and then exit.
