SMP is the management protocol for Serial Attached SCSI (SAS). Several SAS HBAs have a SMP pass through interface that can be used to initiate SMP requests. SMP targets are typically SAS expanders. This package targets the linux kernel (lk) 2.6 and lk 2.4 series. This is the initial version. Two interfaces are available, the "mptctl" pass through used by MPT Fusion SAS HBAs and the "smp_portal" sysfs attribute pass through used by at least one aic94xx based Linux driver. See the CHANGELOG and README files for more information. A tarball, rpm and deb can be found at (see table 2): http://www.torque.net/sg/smp_utils.html For an overview of smp_utils see the same page.
