MP_SETTPGACCESS(3MPAPI)MP_SETTPGACCESS(3MPAPI)NAME
MP_SetTPGAccess - set a target port group access state
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lMPAPI [ library... ]
#include <mpapi.h>
MP_STATUS MP_SetTPGAccess(MP_OID luOid, MP_UINT32 count,
MP_TPG_STATE_PAIR *pTpgStateList);
PARAMETERS
luOid
An object ID that has type MP_MULTIPATH_LOGICAL_UNIT.
count
The number of valid items in the pTpgStateList.
pTpgStateList
A pointer to an array of data structure
MP_TPG_STATE_PAIR. This array must contain the same
number of elements as count.
DESCRIPTION
The MP_SetTPGAccess() function sets the access state for a list of tar‐
get port groups. This allows a client to force a failover or failback
to a desired set of target port groups. This is only valid for devices
that support explicit access state manipulation (i.e., the field
explicitFailover of data structure MP_TARGET_PORT_GROUP_PROPERTIES must
be true).
This API provides the information needed to set up a SCSI SET TARGET
PORT GROUPS command.
The plugin should not implement this API by directly calling the SCSI
SET TARGET PORT GROUPS command. The plugin should use the MP drivers
API (for example, ioctl) if available.
There are two reasons why this API is restricted to devices supporting
explicit failover commands. Without an explicit command, the behavior
of failback tends to be device-specific.
When the caller is finished using the list it must free the memory used
by the list by calling MP_FreeOidList.
RETURN VALUES
MP_STATUS_ACCESS_STATE_INVALID
The target device returns a status indicating the caller is
attempting to establish an illegal combination of access states.
MP_STATUS_FAILED
The underlying interface failed the command for some reason other
than MP_STATUS_ACCESS_STATE_INVALID.
MP_STATUS_INVALID_OBJECT_TYPE
The luOid does not specify any valid object type. This is most
likely to happen if an uninitialized object ID is passed to the
API.
MP_STATUS_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND
The luOid owner ID or object sequence number is invalid.
MP_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
The pTpgStateList is null, or when one of the TPGs referenced in
the list is not associated with the specified MP logical unit, or
the luOid has a type subfield other than MP_OBJECT_TYPE_MULTI‐
PATH_LU.
MP_STATUS_SUCCESS
The operation is successful.
MP_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED
The API is not supported.
