NAME¶
smp_zone_activate - invoke ZONE ACTIVATE SMP function
SYNOPSIS¶
smp_zone_activate [
--expected=EX] [
--help] [
--hex]
[
--interface=PARAMS] [
--raw] [
--sa=SAS_ADDR] [
--verbose] [
--version]
SMP_DEVICE[,N]
DESCRIPTION¶
Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) ZONE ACTIVATE function request to a SMP
target. The SMP target is identified by the
SMP_DEVICE and the
--sa=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.
This function, if successful, will cause various zoning related shadow values
(e.g. zone permission table and zone phy information) to be copied to the
corresponding current values. If the saving to "saved" values option
has been selected then the various zoning related shadow values will also be
copied to the corresponding saved values.
OPTIONS¶
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
- -E, --expected=EX
- set the 'expected expander change count' field in the SMP
request. The value EX is from 0 to 65535 inclusive with 0 being the
default value. When EX is greater than zero then if the value
doesn't match the expander change count of the SMP target (i.e. the
expander) when the request arrives then the target ignores the request and
sets a function result of "invalid expander change count" in the
response.
- -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. The mpt
interface needs this option and it will typically be an expander's SAS
address. 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.
The SMP ZONE ACTIVATE function was introduced in SAS-2 .
