Summary:
Utilities for SAS management protocol (SMP)
Description:
This is a package of utilities. Each utility sends a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Management Protocol (SMP) request to a SMP target. If the request fails then the error is decoded. If the request succeeds then the response is either decoded, printed out in hexadecimal or output in binary. This package supports multiple interfaces since SMP passthroughs are not mature. This package supports the linux 2.4 and 2.6 series and should be easy to port to other operating systems.
