NAME

       smp_conf_general - invoke CONFIGURE GENERAL SMP function

SYNOPSIS

       smp_conf_general  [--connect=CO]  [--expected=EX] [--help] [--hex] [--inactivity=IN] [--interface=PARAMS]
       [--nexus=NE] [--open=OP] [--power=PD]  [--raw]  [--reduced=RE]  [--sa=SAS_ADDR]  [--ssp=CTL]  [--verbose]
       [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION

       Sends a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) CONFIGURE GENERAL function request to an SMP target. The SMP
       target  is  identified  by the SMP_DEVICE and the --sa=SAS_ADDR. Depending on the interface, the SAS_ADDR
       may be deduced from the SMP_DEVICE.  The mpt  interface  uses  SMP_DEVICE  to  identify  a  HBA  (an  SMP
       initiator) and needs the additional ,N to differentiate between HBAs if there are multiple present.

OPTIONS

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.

       -c, --connect=CO
              sets  the  "update STP maximum connect time limit" flag and the corresponding "STP maximum connect
              time limit" field to CO. Unit of CO is 100 microseconds. A CO of zero is taken to mean no  maximum
              connection time limit.

       -E, --expected=EX
              set  the  'expected  expander  change  count' field in the SMP request.  The value EX is from 0 to
              65535 inclusive with 0 being the default value. When EX is greater than zero  then  if  the  value
              doesn't  match  the  expander  change count of the SMP target (i.e. the expander) when the request
              arrives then the target ignores the request and sets a function result of "invalid expander change
              count" in the response.

       -h, --help
              output the usage message then exit.

       -H, --hex
              output the response (less the CRC field) in hexadecimal.

       -i, --inactivity=IN
              sets the "update STP bus inactivity time limit" flag and the  corresponding  "STP  bus  inactivity
              time  limit"  field  to  IN.  Unit of IN is 100 microseconds. A IN of zero is taken to mean no bus
              inactivity time limit.

       -I, --interface=PARAMS
              interface specific parameters. In this case "interface" refers to the path through  the  operating
              system to the SMP initiator. See the smp_utils man page for more information.

       -n, --nexus=NE
              sets  the  "update STP SMP I_T nexus loss time" flag and the corresponding "STP SMP I_T nexus loss
              time" field to NE. Unit of NE is one millisecond. A NE of zero is taken to mean a vendor  specific
              amount of time; a NE of 65535 means the port shall never recognize an I_T nexus loss.

       -o, --open=OP
              sets  the  "update STP reject to open limit" flag and the corresponding "STP reject to open limit"
              field to OP. Unit of OP is 10 microseconds.

       -p, --power=PD
              sets the "update power done timeout" flag and the corresponding "power doen timeout" field to  PD.
              Unit  of  PD  is  1  second. A PD value of 0 is interpreted as don't change the current value. The
              maximum value of PD is 255 and means the time limit is vendor specific.

       -r, --raw
              send the response (less the CRC field) to stdout in binary. All error messages are sent to stderr.

       -R, --reduced=RE
              sets the "update Initial time to reduced functionality" flag and the corresponding  "Initial  time
              to  reduced  functionality" field to RE.  Unit of RE is 100 milliseconds. The maximum permitted RE
              value is 255 which corresponds to 25.5 seconds.

       -s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
              specifies the SAS address of the SMP target device. Typically this is an expander. This option may
              not be needed if the SMP_DEVICE has the target's SAS address within it. The SAS_ADDR is in decimal
              but most SAS addresses are shown in hexadecimal. To give a number in hexadecimal either prefix  it
              with '0x' or put a trailing 'h' on it.

       -S, --ssp=CTL
              sets the "update SSP time limit" flag and the corresponding "SSP maximum connect time limit" field
              to  CTL.  Unit  of  CTL  is  100 microseconds.  A CTL of zero is taken to meanthat there is no SSP
              connect time limit.

       -v, --verbose
              increase the verbosity of the output. Can be used multiple times

       -V, --version
              print the version string and then exit.
