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) Serial 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. Several SAS HBAs have a SMP pass through interface that can be used to send SMP requests and receive the responses. This package is designed to work with the Linux kernel (lk) 2.6 and 3 series, FreeBSD 9.0 (and later) and recent Solaris versions. Three interfaces are available for Linux: "sgv4", "mptctl" and "aac". The "sgv4" interface uses the bsg driver. The "aac" interface is new in this version and requires a recent aacraid driver and firmware in the controller. For an overview, examples and downloads of smp_utils see: http://sg.danny.cz/sg/smp_utils.html Changelog for smp_utils-0.98 [20140526] [svn:r138] - add Linux aacraid support, interface name : aac - device name has form /dev/aac[N[,E_ID]] - smp_discover, smp_discover_list: in 1 line summary use routing attribute "U" instead of "T" if "table to table supported" set in report general response - output device slot (group) number if len > 109 - add 'attached persistent capable' bit (spl3r2) - add pwr_dis_* fields (spl3r3) - add '--cap' option to decode phy capabilities - change 'end device' to 'SAS or SATA device' - smp_discover: '-mm' produces full output for each phy - smp_rep_broadcast: add broadcast type names - smp_general: add 'initiates ssp close' and 'ssp maximum connect time limit' fields (spl3r04) - add support for mpt3ctl (Linux LSI 12 Gbps HBAs) - change binary install from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin since sbin caused problems - examples folder scripts cleanup - make code more C11/C++ friendly Changelog for smp_utils-0.97 [20120120] [svn:r116] ... SAS expanders often include a SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) device. SES devices can be accessed with the sg_ses utility in the sg3_utils version 1.38 package.
