NAME

6       smp_rep_broadcast - invoke REPORT BROADCAST SMP function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       smp_rep_broadcast    [--broadcast=BT]    [--help]   [--hex]   [--inter‐
10       face=PARAMS]   [--raw]    [--sa=SAS_ADDR]    [--verbose]    [--version]
11       SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION

14       Sends  a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT BROADCAST function
15       request to  an  SMP  target.  The  SMP  target  is  identified  by  the
16       SMP_DEVICE  and  the  --sa=SAS_ADDR.  Depending  on  the interface, the
17       SAS_ADDR may be deduced from the SMP_DEVICE.  The  mpt  interface  uses
18       SMP_DEVICE  to  identify  a  HBA (an SMP initiator) and needs the addi‐
19       tional ,N to differentiate between HBAs if there are multiple present.

OPTIONS

22       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options  as
23       well.
24
25       -b, --broadcast=BT
26              BT is the broadcast type, an integer in the range 0 (default) to
27              15.  Broadcast (Change) corresponds to 0. Other known  broadcast
28              types  are  listed  in  the  NOTES  section.  BT  may be decimal
29              (default) or hexadecimal prefixed by '0x' (or '0X')  or  with  a
30              'h' (or 'H') suffix.
31
32       -h, --help
33              output the usage message then exit.
34
35       -H, --hex
36              output the response (less the CRC field) in hexadecimal.
37
38       -I, --interface=PARAMS
39              interface  specific  parameters. In this case "interface" refers
40              to the path through the operating system to the  SMP  initiator.
41              See the smp_utils man page for more information.
42
43       -r, --raw
44              send  the response (less the CRC field) to stdout in binary. All
45              error messages are sent to stderr.
46
47       -s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
48              specifies the SAS address of the  SMP  target  device.  The  mpt
49              interface  needs  this  option  and  it  will  typically  be  an
50              expander's SAS address. The SAS_ADDR is in decimal but most  SAS
51              addresses  are  shown in hexadecimal.  To give a number in hexa‐
52              decimal either prefix it with '0x' or put a trailing 'h' on it.
53
54       -v, --verbose
55              increase the verbosity of  the  output.  Can  be  used  multiple
56              times.
57
58       -V, --version
59              print the version string and then exit.

NOTES

62       The following is a list of broadcast types:
63       0        Broadcast (Change)
64       1        Broadcast (Reserved change 0)
65       2        Broadcast (Reserved change 1)
66       3        Broadcast (SES)
67       4        Broadcast (Expander)
68       5        Broadcast (Asynchronous event)
69       6        Broadcast (Reserved 3)
70       7        Broadcast (Reserved 4)
71       8        Broadcast (Zone activate)
72
73       The remaining zone types (9 to 15) may be issued by the ZONED BROADCAST
74       function.
