# smp\_rep\_phy\_sata(8)

invoke REPORT PHY SATA SMP function

## NAME

smp\_rep\_phy\_sata - invoke REPORT PHY SATA SMP function

## SYNOPSIS

**smp\_rep\_phy\_sata** \[*--affiliation=AC*\] \[*--help*\] \[*--hex*\] \[*--interface=PARAMS*\] \[*--phy=ID*\] \[*--raw*\] \[*--sa=SAS\_ADDR*\] \[*--verbose*\] \[*--version*\] \[*--zero*\] *SMP\_DEVICE\[,N\]*

## DESCRIPTION

Sends a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT PHY SATA request function to an SMP target. 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 an HBA (an SMP initiator) and needs the additional *,N* to differentiate between HBAs if there are multiple present.

- **-a**, **--affiliation**=*AC*

  where *AC* is the affiliation context relative identifier that is placed in request (new in sas2r08). Defaults to 0.

- **-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.

- **-p**, **--phy**=*ID*

  phy identifier. *ID* is a value between 0 and 254. Default is 0.

- **-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.

- **-z**, **--zero**

  zero the Allocated Response Length field in the request. This option also zeros the Request Length field in the request. This is required for strict SAS-1.1 compliance. However this option should not be given in SAS-2 and later; if it is given an abridged response may result.

## EXAMPLES

See "Examples" section in http://sg.danny.cz/sg/smp\_utils.html

## CONFORMING TO

The SMP REPORT PHY SATA function was introduced in SAS-1 . The "Expander change count", "STP I\_T nexus loss occurred" and several other fields were added in SAS-2 .
