NAME
     smp - Serial Attached Management Protocol target driver

SYNOPSIS
     smp@wsas_addr:smp

DESCRIPTION
     The smp target driver binds to SMP target  devices  such  as
     SAS switches or SAS expanders. Unlike a SCSI target  device,
     SMP target devices do not respond to a SCSI inquiry command.
     The  SCSA  framework can not enumerate SMP target devices by
     using  the standard SCSI probe  methods.  To  enumerate  SMP
     target devices the SAS HBA driver must support target device
     self-discover and self-enumeration.


     The smp  driver  exports  the  usmp(7I)  interface  to  user
     processes.   With  the  interface,  SMP request and response
     frames are transported between the  management  applications
     and SMP target devices.

  Security
     The access is restricted and device nodes created by the smp
     driver  are readable and writable only by processes with the
     PRIV_SYS_DEVICES privilege exclusively.

  Device Special Files
     The SMP target devices have device minor nodes created under
     the  corresponding HBA path in /devices. Convenient links in
     the /dev/smp directory are  created  for  the  device  minor
     nodes.

FILES
     /kernel/drv/smp.conf    Driver configuration file.


     /dev/smp/expdX          smp device file, where X indicates a
                             SMP target device instance.
