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 Serial Management Protocol (SMP) ZONE ACTIVATE  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.

       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.
