NAME

       smp_rep_exp_route_tbl - invoke REPORT EXPANDER ROUTE TABLE LIST SMP function

SYNOPSIS

       smp_rep_exp_route_tbl  [--brief]  [--help] [--hex] [--index=IN] [--interface=PARAMS] [--num=NUM] [--phy=ID] [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--ver-
       bose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION

       Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT EXPANDER ROUTE TABLE LIST function request	to  a  SMP  target  and  decodes  or  outputs  the
       response.  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.

       There  are two expander route table types: phy-based and expander-based.  The expander-based route table was introduced in SAS-2 and super-
       sedes the phy-based route tables. The REPORT EXPANDER ROUTE TABLE LIST function is associated with an expander-based route table. There	is
       no corresponding CONFIGURE function because a expander-based route table is self-configured.

OPTIONS

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.

       -b, --brief
	      reduce the decoded response output.

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

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

       -i, --index=IN
	      IN is the starting routed SAS address index. The default value is 0.

       -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.

       -n, --num=NUM
	      maximum number of descriptors to fetch (default is 62). Note that maximum SMP frame size is 1028 bytes (including a trailing 4  byte
	      CRC) so 62 descriptors is the maximum number that can fit in one response.

       -p, --phy=ID
	      starting	phy  identifier  within  bitmap.  ID should be one of 0 (the default), or a multiple of 48. Note there is only one expnder
	      route table per expander, not one per phy.

       -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.

CONFORMING TO

       The SMP REPORT EXPANDER ROUTE TABLE LIST function was introduced in SAS-2 .
