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 Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT BROADCAST 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  iden-
       tify 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 .
