NAME

       smp_conf_general - invoke CONFIGURE GENERAL SMP function

SYNOPSIS

       smp_conf_general   [--connect=CO]   [--expected=EX]   [--help]  [--hex]	[--inactivity=IN]  [--interface=PARAMS]  [--nexus=NE]  [--open=OP]
       [--power=PD] [--raw] [--reduced=RE] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION

       Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) CONFIGURE GENERAL 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.

       -c, --connect=CO
	      sets the "update STP maximum connect time limit" flag and the corresponding "STP maximum connect time limit" field to CO. Unit of CO
	      is 100 microseconds. A CO of zero is taken to mean no maximum connection time limit.

       -E, --expected=EX
	      set  the	'expected  expander  change  count'  field in the SMP request.	The value EX is from 0 to 65535 inclusive with 0 being the
	      default value. When EX is greater than zero then if the value doesn't match the expander change count of the SMP	target	(i.e.  the
	      expander) when the request arrives then the target ignores the request and sets a function result of "invalid expander change count"
	      in the response.

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

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

       -i, --inactivity=IN
	      sets the "update STP bus inactivity time limit" flag and the corresponding "STP bus inactivity time limit" field to IN. Unit  of	IN
	      is 100 microseconds. A IN of zero is taken to mean no bus inactivity time limit.

       -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, --nexus=NE
	      sets the "update STP SMP I_T nexus loss time" flag and the corresponding "STP SMP I_T nexus loss time" field to NE. Unit	of  NE	is
	      one  millisecond. A NE of zero is taken to mean a vendor specific amount of time; a NE of 65535 means the port shall never recognize
	      an I_T nexus loss.

       -o, --open=OP
	      sets the "update STP reject to open limit" flag and the corresponding "STP reject to open limit" field to  OP.  Unit  of	OP  is	10
	      microseconds.

       -p, --power=PD
	      sets the "update power done timeout" flag and the corresponding "power doen timeout" field to PD. Unit of PD is 1 second. A PD value
	      of 0 is interpreted as don't change the current value. The maximum value of PD is 255 and means the time limit is vendor specific.

       -r, --raw
	      send the response (less the CRC field) to stdout in binary. All error messages are sent to stderr.

       -R, --reduced=RE
	      sets the "update Initial time to reduced functionality" flag and the corresponding "Initial time to reduced functionality" field	to
	      RE.  Unit of RE is 100 milliseconds. The maximum permitted RE value is 255 which corresponds to 25.5 seconds.

       -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.
