NAME

       smp_rep_phy_sata - invoke REPORT PHY SATA SMP function

SYNOPSIS

       smp_rep_phy_sata    [--affiliation=AC]   [--help]   [--hex]   [--interface=PARAMS]   [--phy=ID]   [--raw]
       [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] [--zero] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION

       Sends a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT PHY SATA request function to an SMP target.  The  SMP
       target  is identified by the SMP_DEVICE and the SAS_ADDR. Depending on the interface, the SAS_ADDR may be
       deduced from the SMP_DEVICE. The mpt interface uses SMP_DEVICE to identify an HBA (an SMP initiator)  and
       needs the additional ,N to differentiate between HBAs if there are multiple present.

       -a, --affiliation=AC
              where  AC  is  the  affiliation  context  relative  identifier  that  is placed in request (new in
              sas2r08). Defaults to 0.

       -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.

       -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.

       -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.

       -z, --zero
              zero the Allocated Response Length field in the request. This option also zeros the Request Length
              field in the request. This is required for strict SAS-1.1 compliance. However this  option  should
              not be given in SAS-2 and later; if it is given an abridged response may result.

EXAMPLES

CONFORMING TO

       The  SMP  REPORT PHY SATA function was introduced in SAS-1 .  The "Expander change count", "STP I_T nexus
       loss occurred" and several other fields were added in SAS-2 .
