Ubuntu Manpage: smp_rep_broadcast - invoke REPORT BROADCAST SMP function

NAME

       smp_rep_broadcast - invoke REPORT BROADCAST SMP function

SYNOPSIS

       smp_rep_broadcast   [--broadcast=BT]   [--help]   [--hex]   [--interface=PARAMS]   [--raw]
       [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION

       Sends a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT BROADCAST 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.

OPTIONS

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

-b, --broadcast=BT
BT is the broadcast type, an integer in the range 0 (default) to 15. Broadcast
(Change) corresponds to 0. Other known broadcast types are listed in the NOTES
section. BT may be decimal (default) or hexadecimal prefixed by '0x' (or '0X') or
with a 'h' (or 'H') suffix.

-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.

NOTES

       The following is a list of broadcast types:
       0        Broadcast (Change)
       1        Broadcast (Reserved change 0)
       2        Broadcast (Reserved change 1)
       3        Broadcast (SES)
       4        Broadcast (Expander)
       5        Broadcast (Asynchronous event)
       6        Broadcast (Reserved 3)
       7        Broadcast (Reserved 4)
       8        Broadcast (Zone activate)

       The remaining zone types (9 to 15) may be issued by the ZONED BROADCAST function.

CONFORMING TO

       The SMP REPORT BROADCAST function was introduced in SAS-2 .
