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 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. 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.

       -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 .
