NAME

6       smp_rep_general - invoke REPORT GENERAL SMP function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       smp_rep_general [--change_report] [--help] [--hex] [--interface=PARAMS]
10       [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT GENERAL  request  function
14       to a SMP target. The SMP target is identified by the SMP_DEVICE and the
15       SAS_ADDR. Depending on the interface, the SAS_ADDR may be deduced  from
16       the  SMP_DEVICE. With one interface there is one SMP_DEVICE per machine
17       so the SMP_DEVICE,N syntax is needed to differentiate between  HBAs  if
18       there are multiple present.

OPTIONS

21       Mandatory  arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as
22       well.
23
24       -c, --change_report
25              reports (prints to stdout) the  value  of  the  expander  change
26              count  field  from the response. The value is printed in decimal
27              and is obtained from a 16 bit field.
28
29       -h, --help
30              output the usage message then exit.
31
32       -H, --hex
33              output the response in hexadecimal.
34
35       -I, --interface=PARAMS
36              interface specific parameters. In this case  "interface"  refers
37              to  the  path through the operating system to the SMP initiator.
38              See the smp_utils man page for more information.
39
40       -r, --raw
41              send the response to stdout in binary. All  error  messages  are
42              sent to stderr.
43
44       -s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
45              specifies  the  SAS  address of the SMP target device. Typically
46              this is an expander. This  option  may  not  be  needed  if  the
47              SMP_DEVICE  has the target's SAS address within it. The SAS_ADDR
48              is in decimal but most SAS addresses are shown  in  hexadecimal.
49              To  give  a  number in hexadecimal either prefix it with '0x' or
50              put a trailing 'h' on it.
51
52       -v, --verbose
53              increase the verbosity of the output. Can be used multiple times
54
55       -V, --version
56              print the version string and then exit.
