NAME

       smp_rep_broadcast - invoke REPORT BROADCAST SMP function

SYNOPSIS

       smp_rep_broadcast   [--broadcast=BT]   [--help]   [--hex]   [--interface=PARAMS]   [--raw]
       [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION

       Sends a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT BROADCAST function request to  an  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.

OPTIONS

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.

       -b, --broadcast=BT
              BT is the broadcast type, an integer in the range 0  (default)  to  15.   Broadcast
              (Change)  corresponds  to  0.  Other  known broadcast types are listed in the NOTES
              section. BT may be decimal (default) or hexadecimal prefixed by '0x' (or  '0X')  or
              with a 'h' (or 'H') suffix.

       -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.

NOTES

       The following is a list of broadcast types:
       0        Broadcast (Change)
       1        Broadcast (Reserved change 0)
       2        Broadcast (Reserved change 1)
       3        Broadcast (SES)
       4        Broadcast (Expander)
       5        Broadcast (Asynchronous event)
       6        Broadcast (Reserved 3)
       7        Broadcast (Reserved 4)
       8        Broadcast (Zone activate)

       The remaining zone types (9 to 15) may be issued by the ZONED BROADCAST function.

CONFORMING TO

       The SMP REPORT BROADCAST function was introduced in SAS-2 .
