NAME

       smp_conf_route_info - invoke CONFIGURE ROUTE INFORMATION SMP function

SYNOPSIS

       smp_conf_route_info    [--disable]    [--expected=EX]    [--help]   [--hex]   [--index=IN]
       [--interface=PARAMS] [--phy=ID] [--raw] [--routed=R_SAS_ADDR] [--sa=SAS_ADDR]  [--verbose]
       [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION

       Sends  a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) CONFIGURE ROUTE INFORMATION 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.

       There   are   two   expander   route  table  types:  phy-based  and  expander-based.   The
       expander-based route table was introduced in SAS-2  and  supersedes  the  phy-based  route
       tables.  The  CONFIGURE  ROUTE  INFORMATION  function is associated with a phy-based route
       table. The REPORT ROUTE INFORMATION function is provided to report phy-based  route  table
       entries.

       Each  phy  in  a  SAS  expander  that has an associated routing attribute of "table" has a
       router table. The number of rows (or entries)  in  each  router  table  is  given  by  the
       "expander route indexes" field in the response of the REPORT GENERAL function.

OPTIONS

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

       -d, --disable
              set the "disable expander route entry" flag in a row of the router table associated
              with --phy=ID of the given SMP target (e.g. an expander).  Within the router  table
              the  row  that  is  disabled  is  identified  by  the expander route index given by
              --index=IN.

       -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, --index=IN
              expander route index. IN is a value between  0  and  65535.  Default  is  0.   More
              precisely the maximum index value is (expander_route_indexes - 1).

       -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, --phy=ID
              phy identifier. ID is a value between 0 and 254. Default is 0.

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

       -R, --routed=R_SAS_ADDR
              specifies the SAS address to be placed in a row (given by --index=IN) of the router
              table  associated  with --phy=ID. Default value is 0.  The R_SAS_ADDR is in decimal
              but most SAS addresses are given in hexadecimal. To give a  number  in  hexadecimal
              either prefix it with '0x' or put a trailing 'h' on it.

       -s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
              specifies  the SAS address of the SMP target device. Typically this is an expander.
              This option may not be needed if the SMP_DEVICE has the target's SAS address within
              it.  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.

CONFORMING TO

       The  SMP  CONFIGURE  ROUTE  INFORMATION  function was introduced in SAS-1 .  The "Expander
       change count" field was added in SAS-2 .
