NAME¶
smp_rep_manufacturer - invoke REPORT MANUFACTURER INFORMATION SMP function
SYNOPSIS¶
smp_rep_manufacturer [--help] [--hex]
[--interface=PARAMS] [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR]
[--verbose] [--version] [--zero] SMP_DEVICE[,N]
DESCRIPTION¶
Sends a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT MANUFACTURER INFORMATION
function request to an 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. The mpt interface
uses SMP_DEVICE to identify a HBA (an SMP initiator) and needs the
additional ,N to differentiate between HBAs if there are multiple
present.
OPTIONS¶
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
- -h, --help
- output the usage message then exit.
- -H, --hex
- output the response (less the CRC field) 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 (less the CRC field) 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.
- -z, --zero
- zero the Allocated Response Length field in the request. This is required
for strict SAS-1.1 compliance. However this option should not be given in
SAS-2 and later; if it is given an abridged response may result.
The SMP REPORT MANUFACTURER function was introduced in SAS-1, with small
additions in SAS-1.1 . This function remains unaltered in SAS-2 and SPL-1.
