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 is designed to work with the linux kernel (lk) 2.6 series. Two interfaces are available: "sgv4" and "mptctl". The "sgv4" interface uses the bsg driver. This version is a major upgrade, adding 14 new functions most of which are for SAS-2 zoning. For an overview and examples of smp_utils see: http://sg.danny.cz/sg/smp_utils.html Changelog for smp_utils-0.96 [20110620] [svn:r96] - smp_conf_zone_perm_tbl, smp_conf_zone_man_pass smp_conf_zone_phy_info, smp_ena_dis_zoning, smp_rep_broadcast, smp_rep_phy_event, smp_rep_phy_event_list, smp_rep_self_conf_stat, smp_rep_zone_man_pass, smp_rep_zone_perm_tbl, smp_zone_activate, smp_zoned_broadcast, smp_zone_lock, smp_zone_unlock: add these new utilities - all utilities: sync to SPL-2 (spl2r01) -those with '--phy=ID' option: increase max from 128 to 254 - smp_discover, smp_discover_list: add --adn and --summary - make --summary default if --phy=ID option not given - with --summary show disabled and errored phys - smp_discover: add --my and --zero option - smp_discover_list: add --zpi=FN option - smp_rep_general, smp_rep_manufacturer, smp_rep_phy_err_log, smp_rep_phy_sata: add --zero options - smp_conf_general: add --power option - smp_read_gpio, smp_write_gpio: add --enhanced option - add examples directory, mainly for zoning - remove doc/smp_utils.html , refer readers to web page - remove tpl (ai) interface SAS-2 expanders often include a SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) device. To support this there has been a major rework of the sg_ses utility in the sg3_utils package. A beta of sg3_utils 1.32 is available at http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html Doug Gilbert
