smp_utils is a package of command line utilities for invoking SMP functions to monitor and manage SAS expanders. SMP is the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Management Protocol (SMP). A SAS Host Bus Adapter (HBA) includes a SMP initiator (along with SSP and STP initiators). A SAS expander contains a SMP target. Several SAS HBAs have a SMP pass through interface that can be used to send SMP requests and receive the responses. This package targets the linux kernel (lk) 2.6 and lk 2.4 series. Three interfaces are available: "sgv4", "mptctl" and "smp_portal". The "sgv4" interface uses the bsg driver and is new in this version. It requires lk 2.6.24 (or maybe some variants on lk 2.6.23) or later. For an overview and examples of smp_utils see: http://www.torque.net/sg/smp_utils.html A tarball, rpm and deb can be found in table 2.
