NAME

7       tion

SYNOPSIS

10       smp_rep_manufacturer  [--help]  [--hex]  [--interface=PARAMS]   [--raw]
11       [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] [--zero] SMP_DEVICE[,N]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Sends a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT MANUFACTURER INFOR‐
15       MATION function request to an SMP target. The SMP target is  identified
16       by  the  SMP_DEVICE  and  the 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       -h, --help
26              output the usage message then exit.
27
28       -H, --hex
29              output the response (less the CRC field) in hexadecimal.
30
31       -I, --interface=PARAMS
32              interface  specific  parameters. In this case "interface" refers
33              to the path through the operating system to the  SMP  initiator.
34              See the smp_utils man page for more information.
35
36       -r, --raw
37              send  the response (less the CRC field) to stdout in binary. All
38              error messages are sent to stderr.
39
40       -s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
41              specifies the SAS address of the SMP  target  device.  Typically
42              this  is  an  expander.  This  option  may  not be needed if the
43              SMP_DEVICE has the target's SAS address within it. The  SAS_ADDR
44              is  in  decimal but most SAS addresses are shown in hexadecimal.
45              To give a number in hexadecimal either prefix it  with  '0x'  or
46              put a trailing 'h' on it.
47
48       -v, --verbose
49              increase the verbosity of the output. Can be used multiple times
50
51       -V, --version
52              print the version string and then exit.
53
54       -z, --zero
55              zero the Allocated Response Length field in the request. This is
56              required for strict  SAS-1.1  compliance.  However  this  option
57              should  not  be  given  in  SAS-2  and  later; if it is given an
58              abridged response may result.
59

CONFORMING TO

61       The SMP REPORT MANUFACTURER function  was  introduced  in  SAS-1,  with
62       small  additions  in SAS-1.1 . This function remains unaltered in SAS-2
63       and SPL-1.
