NAME
       smp_rep_phy_err_log - invoke REPORT PHY ERROR LOG SMP function

SYNOPSIS
       smp_rep_phy_err_log  [--help]  [--hex]  [--interface=PARAMS]  [--phy=ID]  [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version]
       SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION
       Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT PHY ERROR LOG 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.

       -p, --phy=ID
              phy identifier. ID is a value between 0 and 127. Default is 0.

       -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.

NOTES
       Similar information is maintained for SAS SSP target phys (e.g. on a SAS disk). It can be obtained from the Protocol Spe-
       cific Port log page with the sg_logs utility.

       Similar  information  may  be  obtained  for  SAS initiator phys (e.g. on a SAS HBA). As an example in Linux 2.6.28 error
       information can be found in this directory /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-4:0 (for the phy 0 in SCSI/SAS host 4).

       Similar information may be obtained for SATA device phys (e.g. on a SATA disk). If there is a SAT layer  between  OS  and
       the SATA device then the sg_sat_phy_event utility can fetch the information.

CONFORMING TO
       The SMP REPORT PHY ERROR LOG function was introduced in SAS-1 .  The "Expander change count" field was added in SAS-2 .
