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. A SAS Host Bus Adapter (HBA) includes a SMP initiator (along with SSP and STP initiators). A SAS expander contains a SMP target. Many SAS HBAs have a SMP pass through interface that can be used to send SMP requests and receive the responses. This package should work with the linux kernel (lk) 2.6 series, the lk 2.4 series, and builds on FreeBSD. Three interfaces are available: "sgv4", "mptctl" and "smp_portal". The "sgv4" interface uses the bsg driver. This version fixes a problem accessing mpt2sas HBAs when used with the mptctl interface. For an overview and examples of smp_utils see: http://sg.danny.cz/sg/smp_utils.html A tarball, rpm and deb can be found in table 2.
