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

       See "Examples" section in http://sg.danny.cz/sg/smp_utils.html

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 .
