Ubuntu Manpage: smp_ena_dis_zoning - invoke ENABLE DISABLE ZONING SMP function

NAME

       smp_ena_dis_zoning - invoke ENABLE DISABLE ZONING SMP function

SYNOPSIS

       smp_ena_dis_zoning    [--disable]    [--ena-dis=ED]   [--expected=EX]   [--help]   [--hex]
       [--interface=PARAMS]  [--raw]   [--sa=SAS_ADDR]   [--save=SAV]   [--verbose]   [--version]
       SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION

       Sends  a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) ENABLE DISABLE ZONING 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.

       If  neither  --disable  nor  --ena-dis=ED  options  are  given  then  enable  zoning (i.e.
       "--ena-dis=1") is assumed.

       This function does not change the state of the current zoning enabled flag (as seen in the
       REPORT GENERAL response). Such a state change will occur on a subsequent invocation of the
       ZONE ACTIVATE function.

OPTIONS

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

-d, --disable
set the 'enable disable zoning' field in the SMP request to 2 which will disable
zoning.

-e, --ena-dis=ED
set the 'enable disable zoning' field in the SMP request. ED may take these values:
0 for no change, 1 for enable zoning (default) and 2 for disable zoning. If this
option and the --disable option are both given then they cannot contradict one
another.

-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.

-S, --save=SAV
set the 'save' field in the SMP request. SAV may take these values: 0 for updating
the shadow values (default), 1 for updating the saved values, 2 for updating shadow
values and if available the saved values, 3 for updating both saved and shadow
values.

-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 ENABLE DISABLE ZONING function was introduced in SAS-2 .
