NAME

       smp_zone_activate - invoke ZONE ACTIVATE SMP function

SYNOPSIS

       smp_zone_activate   [--expected=EX]   [--help]   [--hex]   [--interface=PARAMS]  [--raw]  [--sa=SAS_ADDR]
       [--verbose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]

DESCRIPTION

       Sends a SAS Serial Management Protocol (SMP) ZONE ACTIVATE 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.

       This function, if successful, will cause various zoning related shadow values (e.g. zone permission table
       and  zone  phy  information)  to  be copied to the corresponding current values. If the saving to "saved"
       values option has been selected then the various zoning related shadow values will also be copied to  the
       corresponding saved values.

OPTIONS

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

       -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, --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.

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

       -s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
              specifies  the  SAS  address  of the SMP target device. The mpt interface needs this option and it
              will typically be an expander's SAS address. 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.

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

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