SMP_REP_SELF_CONF_STAT(8)	   SMP_UTILS	     SMP_REP_SELF_CONF_STAT(8)

NAME
       smp_rep_self_conf_stat  -  invoke  REPORT SELF-CONFIGURATION STATUS SMP
       function

SYNOPSIS
       smp_rep_self_conf_stat	[--brief]   [--help]   [--hex]	 [--index=SDI]
       [--interface=PARAMS]  [--last]  [--one] [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--ver‐
       bose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION
       Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT SELF-CONFIGURATION	STATUS
       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.

       -b, --brief
	      lessen the amount of header information output and compress each
	      self confuration status descriptor to one line of output.

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

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

       -i, --index=SDI
	      SDI  is the starting self-configuration status descriptor index,
	      an integer in the range 0 to 65535. The default value is 1 .  If
	      SDI is 0 then no descriptors are placed in the response plus the
	      "starting self-configuration status descriptor index" and "total
	      number  of  self-configuration status descriptors" fields in the
	      response are both set to 0. That makes setting SDI to  0	a  lot
	      less useful tha it could have been. SDI may be decimal (default)
	      or hexadecimal prefixed by '0x' (or '0X') or with a 'h' (or 'H')
	      suffix.

       -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.

       -l, --last
	      Sends a REPORT SELF-CONFIGURATION STATUS request to find out the
	      contents	of  the	 "last	self-configuration  status  descriptor
	      index"  field  in the response. If it is different from SDI then
	      it re-issues that request with the "starting  self-configuration
	      status  descriptor  index"  field set to the "last" value. Often
	      only the last (i.e.  most	 recent)  recorded  descriptor	is  of
	      interest	and  that  is  what  this option should show. In cases
	      there may be more than  one  descriptor  starting	 at  the  last
	      index.

       -o, --one
	      If  multiple  self-configuration	status	descriptors are found,
	      then only output the first one.

       -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.

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

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

NOTES
       The "last self-configuration status  descriptor	index"	field  in  the
       response	 may indicate the lowest index of the last recorded (i.e. most
       recent) "clump" of status descriptors placed in the expander's storage.

       This utility  flags  the	 "last	self-configuration  status  descriptor
       index" descriptor in its output with a ">>>" indication. For brief out‐
       put the descriptor line starts with ">>>" while for normal output (i.e.
       when --brief not given) the index has ">>>" placed in front of it.

CONFORMING TO
       The  SMP	 REPORT	 SELF-CONFIGURATION  STATUS function was introduced in
       SAS-2 .
