NAME
       smp_conf_zone_man_pass  -  invoke CONFIGURE ZONE MANAGER PASSWORD func‐
       tion

SYNOPSIS
       smp_conf_zone_man_pass [--expected=EX]  [--fpass=FP]  [--help]  [--hex]
       [--interface=PARAMS]  [--new-fpass=NF]  [--new-pass=NP] [--password=PA]
       [--raw]	 [--sa=SAS_ADDR]    [--save=SAV]    [--verbose]	   [--version]
       SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION
       Sends  a	 SAS Management Protocol (SMP) CONFIGURE ZONE MANAGER PASSWORD
       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 addi‐
       tional ,N to differentiate between HBAs if there are multiple present.

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

       -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.

       -F, --fpass=FP
	      where FP is the name of a file which contains the existing pass‐
	      word.  The password may be in ASCII in which case it is  on  one
	      line  surrounded	by  either  single  quotes  are double quotes.
	      Alternatively the password may be given  in  ASCII  hexadecimal;
	      either as bytes separated by space, tab, comma or newline, or as
	      longer strings of hexadecimal bytes in which every 2 digits rep‐
	      resents  a  byte.	 Empty	lines  and those starting with "#" are
	      ignored.	A line starting with '-1' causes all  remaining	 bytes
	      in the password to be filled with 0xff.

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

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

       -N, --new-fpass=NF
	      where  NF is the name of a file which contains the new password.
	      The format of this file  is  the	same  as  the  file  given  in
	      --fpass=FP.

       -n, --new-pass=NP
	      where  NP is the new zone manager password which may be up to 32
	      bytes long.  This	 option	 cannot	 be  give  together  with  the
	      --new-fpass=NF  option.  The  default password is 32 NULLs (zero
	      bytes) and PA is padded with NULLs to the right (to make	it  32
	      bytes long in the request).

       -P, --password=PA
	      where  PA	 is the existing zone manager password which may be up
	      to 32 bytes long. This option cannot be give together  with  the
	      --fpass=FP option. The default password is 32 NULLs (zero bytes)
	      and PA is padded with NULLs to the right (to make	 it  32	 bytes
	      long in the request).

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

       -s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
	      specifies the SAS address of the	SMP  target  device.  The  mpt
	      interface	 needs	this  option  and  it  will  typically	be  an
	      expander's SAS address. The SAS_ADDR is in decimal but most  SAS
	      addresses	 are  shown in hexadecimal.  To give a number in hexa‐
	      decimal either prefix it with '0x' or put a trailing 'h' on it.

       -S, --save=SAV
	      set the 'save' field in the SMP request. SAV may take these val‐
	      ues:  0 for updating the shadow values (default), 1 for updating
	      the saved values, 2 for updating shadow values and if  available
	      the saved values, 3 for updating both saved and shadow values.

       -v, --verbose
	      increase	the  verbosity	of  the	 output.  Can be used multiple
	      times.

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

NOTES
       Hexadecimal bytes (or longer hexadecimal strings)  should  not  have  a
       leading "0x" or trailing "h" decoration.

       The "well known" DISABLE password is 32 bytes of 0xff. The new password
       can only be DISABLED if physical presence is supported and asserted.

CONFORMING TO
       The SMP CONFIGURE ZONE MANAGER  PASSWORD	 function  was	introduced  in
       SAS-2 .
