SMP_CONF_ZONE_MAN_PASS(8)	   SMP_UTILS	     SMP_CONF_ZONE_MAN_PASS(8)

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  Serial  Management Protocol (SMP) CONFIGURE ZONE MANAGER
       PASSWORD function request to an SMP target. The SMP target  is  identi‐
       fied  by	 the SMP_DEVICE and the --sa=SAS_ADDR. Depending on the inter‐
       face, the SAS_ADDR may be deduced from the SMP_DEVICE. The  mpt	inter‐
       face uses SMP_DEVICE to identify a HBA (an SMP initiator) and needs the
       additional ,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 .
