NAME
       sg_stpg - send SCSI SET TARGET PORT GROUPS command

SYNOPSIS
       sg_stpg	[--active]  [--help] [--hex] [--offline] [--optimized] [--raw]
       [--standby] [--state=S,S...] [--tp=P,P...] [--unavailable]  [--verbose]
       [--version] DEVICE

DESCRIPTION
       Send  a SCSI SET TARGET PORT GROUPS command to DEVICE. This utility has
       different modes depending on whether the --tp= option is given.

       If --tp= is given then the SET TARGET  PORT  GROUPS  command  parameter
       block  is built with a descriptor for each element in the list given to
       --tp=. The corresponding asymmetric access state value is either	 taken
       from  the  --state=  list  or,  if  that	 is not given, from one of the
       explicit	 state	options	 (e.g.	--unavailable),	 used  repeatedly   if
       required.

       If  --tp= is not given then a sequence of SCSI commands are sent to the
       DEVICE leading up to the SET  TARGET  PORT  GROUPS  command.  First  an
       INQUIRY is sent to fetch the device identification VPD page to find the
       (primary) target port group associated with DEVICE. Then a REPORT  TAR‐
       GET PORT GROUPS command is issued to find the current state and whether
       a transition to the requested state is supported. If so the SET	TARGET
       PORT GROUPS command is sent.

       Target  port group access is described in SPC-4 found at www.t10.org in
       sections 5.8 and 5.16 (in rev 36e dated 2012/8/24). The SET TARGET PORT
       GROUPS command is also described in section 6.45 of that document.

OPTIONS
       Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.  The
       options are arranged in alphabetical order based	 on  the  long	option
       name.

       -a, --active
	      set active/non-optimized state.

       -h, --help
	      output the usage message then exit.

       -H, --hex
	      output  response to the REPORT TARGET PORT GROUPS command in hex
	      then exit.

       -O, -l, --offline
	      set offline state. This is the appropriate state to set a target
	      port to prior to removing the device.  Note that a relative tar‐
	      get port identifier should be given with this state (rather than
	      a target port group identifier that all other states take).

       -o, --optimized
	      set  active/optimized  state. If no other state options or --tp=
	      option are given then active/optimized is the default state.

       -r, --raw
	      output response to the REPORT  TARGET  PORT  GROUPS  command  in
	      binary to stdout then exit.

       -s, --standby
	      set standby state. Port group shall accept those commands listed
	      for   "unavailable"   state   plus   LOG	 SELECT/SENSE,	  MODE
	      SELECT/SENSE,  RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS, SEND DIAGNOSTIC, PER‐
	      SISTENT RESERVE IN/OUT commands.

       -S, --state=S,S...
	      specifies a comma	 separated  list  (one	element	 of  more)  of
	      states.  Either a number or an abbreviation can be given. A num‐
	      ber is assumed to be a decimal number unless it is  prefixed  by
	      "0x"  or has a trailing "h" in which case a hexadecimal value is
	      assumed. Only the values 0, 1, 2, 3  or  14  are	accepted.  The
	      accepted	abbreviations  are  "an", "ao", "o", "s" or "u"; which
	      represent	 active/non-optimized(1),  active/optimized(0),	  off‐
	      line(14), standby(2) or unavailable(3) respectively.

       -t, --tp=P,P...
	      specifies	 a  comma  separated  list (one element of more). Each
	      elements is either a target port group identifier (when the cor‐
	      responding  state	 is other than "offline") or a relative target
	      port identifier (when the	 corresponding	state  is  "offline").
	      Each element is assumed to be a decimal number unless it is pre‐
	      fixed by "0x" or has a trailing "h" in which case a  hexadecimal
	      value is assumed.

       -u, --unavailable
	      set  unavailable	state.	Port  group shall only accept INQUIRY,
	      REPORT LUNS, REPORT/SET TARGET PORT GROUPS,  REQUEST  SENSE  and
	      READ/WRITE BUFFER commands.

       -v, --verbose
	      increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).

       -V, --version
	      print the version string and then exit.

NOTES
       The  SET	 TARGET	 PORT  GROUPS command should be supported whenever the
       TPGS value in a standard INQUIRY response is 2 or 3. [View with	sg_inq
       utility.]

       Notice  that  the  offline  state is termed as a "secondary target port
       asymmetric access state" and takes a relative  target  port  identifier
       (i.e.   acts  on a single target port). All the other states are termed
       as "primary target port asymmetric access states" and each takes a tar‐
       get port group identifier (i.e. acts on one or more target ports).

       When --tp= is given then the same number of elements should be given to
       the --state= option. If more than one list element is  given  to	 --tp=
       and  an equal number of elements is _not_ given to the --state= option,
       then if only one state is specified then it is repeated.

EXIT STATUS
       The exit status of sg_stpg is 0 when it is  successful.	Otherwise  see
       the sg3_utils(8) man page.
