SMP_REP_PHY_SATA(8)                                         SMP_UTILS                                        SMP_REP_PHY_SATA(8)



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] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

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

       -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 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.

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 .
