SMP_ZONE_ACTIVATE(8)		   SMP_UTILS		  SMP_ZONE_ACTIVATE(8)

NAME
       smp_zone_activate - invoke ZONE ACTIVATE SMP function

SYNOPSIS
       smp_zone_activate [--expected=EX] [--help] [--hex] [--interface=PARAMS]
       [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION
       Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) ZONE ACTIVATE 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	 differentiate
       between HBAs if there are multiple present.

       This  function, if successful, will cause various zoning related shadow
       values (e.g. zone permission table and  zone  phy  information)	to  be
       copied  to  the	corresponding current values. If the saving to "saved"
       values option has been selected then the various zoning related	shadow
       values will also be copied to the corresponding saved values.

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.

       -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.

       -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.

CONFORMING TO
       The SMP ZONE ACTIVATE function was introduced in SAS-2 .
