NAME

       smp_rep_self_conf_stat - invoke REPORT SELF-CONFIGURATION STATUS SMP function

SYNOPSIS

       smp_rep_self_conf_stat  [--brief]  [--help] [--hex] [--index=SDI] [--interface=PARAMS] [--last] [--one] [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose]
       [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION

       Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT SELF-CONFIGURATION STATUS function request to a 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, --brief
	      lessen the amount of header information output and compress each self confuration status descriptor to one line of output.

       -h, --help
	      output the usage message then exit.

       -H, --hex
	      output the response (less the CRC field) in hexadecimal.

       -i, --index=SDI
	      SDI is the starting self-configuration status descriptor index, an integer in the range 0 to 65535. The default value is 1 . If  SDI
	      is 0 then no descriptors are placed in the response plus the "starting self-configuration status descriptor index" and "total number
	      of self-configuration status descriptors" fields in the response are both set to 0. That makes setting SDI to 0 a  lot  less  useful
	      tha it could have been. SDI may be decimal (default) or hexadecimal prefixed by '0x' (or '0X') or with a 'h' (or 'H') suffix.

       -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.

       -l, --last
	      Sends a REPORT SELF-CONFIGURATION STATUS request to find out the contents of the "last self-configuration status	descriptor  index"
	      field  in  the  response.  If  it  is different from SDI then it re-issues that request with the "starting self-configuration status
	      descriptor index" field set to the "last" value. Often only the last (i.e. most recent) recorded descriptor is of interest and  that
	      is what this option should show. In cases there may be more than one descriptor starting at the last index.

       -o, --one
	      If multiple self-configuration status descriptors are found, then only output the first one.

       -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  "last  self-configuration status descriptor index" field in the response may indicate the lowest index of the last recorded (i.e. most
       recent) "clump" of status descriptors placed in the expander's storage.

       This utility flags the "last self-configuration status descriptor index" descriptor in its output with a ">>>" indication. For brief output
       the descriptor line starts with ">>>" while for normal output (i.e. when --brief not given) the index has ">>>" placed in front of it.

CONFORMING TO

       The SMP REPORT SELF-CONFIGURATION STATUS function was introduced in SAS-2 .
