SMP_CONF_GENERAL(8)		   SMP_UTILS		   SMP_CONF_GENERAL(8)

NAME
       smp_conf_general - invoke CONFIGURE GENERAL SMP function

SYNOPSIS
       smp_conf_general	  [--connect=CO]   [--expected=EX]   [--help]  [--hex]
       [--inactivity=IN]   [--interface=PARAMS]	   [--nexus=NE]	   [--open=OP]
       [--power=PD] [--raw] [--reduced=RE] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--ver‐
       sion] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION
       Sends a	SAS  Management	 Protocol  (SMP)  CONFIGURE  GENERAL  function
       request to a SMP target. The SMP target is identified by the SMP_DEVICE
       and the --sa=SAS_ADDR. Depending on the interface, the SAS_ADDR may  be
       deduced	from  the  SMP_DEVICE.	 The  mpt interface uses SMP_DEVICE to
       identify a HBA (an SMP initiator) and needs the additional ,N  to  dif‐
       ferentiate between HBAs if there are multiple present.

OPTIONS
       Mandatory  arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as
       well.

       -c, --connect=CO
	      sets the "update STP maximum connect time limit"	flag  and  the
	      corresponding "STP maximum connect time limit" field to CO. Unit
	      of CO is 100 microseconds. A CO of zero is taken to mean no max‐
	      imum connection time limit.

       -E, --expected=EX
	      set  the	'expected  expander  change  count'  field  in the SMP
	      request.	The value EX is from 0 to 65535 inclusive with 0 being
	      the  default  value.  When  EX  is greater than zero then if the
	      value doesn't match the expander change count of the SMP	target
	      (i.e.  the  expander)  when  the request arrives then the target
	      ignores the request and  sets  a	function  result  of  "invalid
	      expander change count" in the response.

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

       -H, --hex
	      output the response (less the CRC field) in hexadecimal.

       -i, --inactivity=IN
	      sets  the	 "update  STP  bus inactivity time limit" flag and the
	      corresponding "STP bus inactivity time limit" field to IN.  Unit
	      of  IN is 100 microseconds. A IN of zero is taken to mean no bus
	      inactivity time limit.

       -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.

       -n, --nexus=NE
	      sets the "update STP SMP I_T nexus loss time" flag and the  cor‐
	      responding "STP SMP I_T nexus loss time" field to NE. Unit of NE
	      is one millisecond. A NE of zero is taken to mean a vendor  spe‐
	      cific  amount  of time; a NE of 65535 means the port shall never
	      recognize an I_T nexus loss.

       -o, --open=OP
	      sets the "update STP reject to open limit" flag and  the	corre‐
	      sponding	"STP  reject to open limit" field to OP. Unit of OP is
	      10 microseconds.

       -p, --power=PD
	      sets the "update power done timeout" flag and the	 corresponding
	      "power  doen  timeout" field to PD. Unit of PD is 1 second. A PD
	      value of 0 is interpreted as don't change the current value. The
	      maximum  value  of  PD is 255 and means the time limit is vendor
	      specific.

       -r, --raw
	      send the response (less the CRC field) to stdout in binary.  All
	      error messages are sent to stderr.

       -R, --reduced=RE
	      sets the "update Initial time to reduced functionality" flag and
	      the corresponding "Initial time to reduced functionality"	 field
	      to RE.  Unit of RE is 100 milliseconds. The maximum permitted RE
	      value is 255 which corresponds to 25.5 seconds.

       -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 CONFIGURE GENERAL function was introduced in SAS-2 .
