smp_rep_phy_sata − invoke REPORT PHY SATA SMP function
smp_rep_phy_sata [−−affiliation=AC] [−−help] [−−hex] [−−interface=PARAMS] [−−phy=ID] [−−raw] [−−sa=SAS_ADDR] [−−verbose] [−−version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]
Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT PHY SATA request function to a 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. With one interface there is one SMP_DEVICE per machine so the SMP_DEVICE,N syntax is needed 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 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 127. Default is 0.
−r, −−raw
send the response 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.
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 .
