Ubuntu Manpage: smp_rep_broadcast - invoke REPORT BROADCAST SMP function

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 .
