SMP_ZONE_ACTIVATE(8) SMP_UTILS SMP_ZONE_ACTIVATE(8)
NAME
smp_zone_activate - invoke ZONE ACTIVATE SMP function
SYNOPSIS
smp_zone_activate [--expected=EX] [--help] [--hex] [--interface=PARAMS] [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]
DESCRIPTION
Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) ZONE ACTIVATE 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.
This function, if successful, will cause various zoning related shadow values (e.g. zone permission table and zone phy information) to be
copied to the corresponding current values. If the saving to "saved" values option has been selected then the various zoning related shadow
values will also be copied to the corresponding saved values.
OPTIONS
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
-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
