NAME
       smp_zone_unlock - invoke ZONE UNLOCK SMP function

SYNOPSIS
       smp_zone_unlock	[--activate]  [--expected=EX]  [--help]  [--hex]  [--interface=PARAMS]	[--raw]  [--sa=SAS_ADDR]  [--verbose]  [--version]
       SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION
       Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) ZONE UNLOCK 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.

       If this function is successful then a Broadcast (Change) is sent from either each zone group whose zone permission table  entries  or  zone
       phy  information  has changed; or from zone group 1. Broadcast (Change) should cause a management application client behind a SMP initiator
       port (e.g. a SAS HBA) to start a discover process.

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

       -a, --activate
	      sets the ACTIVATE REQUIRED bit in the function request. When it is set the function call will fail with a  function  result  of  NOT
	      ACTIVATED if the expander has not "processed the activate step".

       -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, --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.

CONFORMING TO
       The SMP ZONE UNLOCK function was introduced in SAS-2 .
