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 Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT MANUFACTURER INFORMATION function
request to a 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.
