NAME
smp_rep_manufacturer - invoke REPORT MANUFACTURER INFORMATION SMP function
SYNOPSIS
smp_rep_manufacturer [--help] [--hex] [--interface=PARAMS] [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]
DESCRIPTION
Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT MANUFACTURER INFORMATION request function to a 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. With one interface there is one SMP_DEVICE per machine so the SMP_DEVICE,N syntax is needed to differentiate between HBAs if there are multiple present.
OPTIONS
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
| -h, --help | output the usage message then exit. |
| -H, --hex | output the response 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 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. | |
