Ubuntu Manpage: smp_rep_zone_man_pass - invoke REPORT ZONE MANAGER PASSWORD function

NAME

       smp_rep_zone_man_pass - invoke REPORT ZONE MANAGER PASSWORD function

SYNOPSIS

       smp_rep_zone_man_pass  [--fpass=FP]  [--help] [--hex] [--interface=PARAMS] [--phex] [--raw] [--report=RT]
       [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION

       Sends a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT ZONE MANAGER PASSWORD function  requests  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.

-F, --fpass=FP
where FP is the name of a file which the password will be written to. The default action (in the
absence of this option) is to write the password to stdout.

-h, --help
output the usage message then exit.

-H, --hex
output the response (less the CRC field) in hexadecimal. To only see the password in hexadecimal
use the --phex option.

-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.

-p, --phex
Output the password in comma separated hexadecimal bytes. In the absence of this option the
password is output in ASCII surrounded by single quotes. Note the hexadecimal bytes are output
with a hex indication (i.e. there is nos leading "0x" nor trailing "h").

-r, --raw
send the response (less the CRC field) to stdout in binary. All error messages are sent to stderr.

-R, --report=RT
set the 'report type' field in the SMP request. RT may take these values: 0 for report the current
zone manager password (default); 1 is reserved; 2 for report the saved zone manager password; 3
for report the default zone manager password.

-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.
