Subject: [Announce] smp_utils-0.98 available
Date: Wed, 28 May 2014 00:07:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <538560E9.1030907@interlog.com> (raw)
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:

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)

- 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.
