NAME
FC SNIA HBA API Fibre Channel Storage Network Industry Association
Host Bus Adapter Application Programming Interface
DESCRIPTION
The Common HBA API provides a consistent HBA standard interface for
accessing information in a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network that
would be implemented across vendors as a standard 'C' API supported by
vendor specific library instances.
This API library is thread-safe, but threads should not be cancelled
when execution is in the API.
The following functions are available in the API for managing a Fibre
Channel HBA. This API would be exposed to upper level applications to
control SAN functionality.
Please refer to FC MI Revision 1.6 Annexure A for details on
structures used.
General Vendor-Implemented Functions
01. HBA_GetVersion();
02. HBA_LoadLibrary();
03. HBA_FreeLibrary();
04. HBA_GetNumberOfAdapters();
05. HBA_GetAdapterName();
06. HBA_OpenAdapter();
07. HBA_CloseAdapter();
Informational Functions
08. HBA_GetAdapterAttributes();
09. HBA_GetAdapterPortAttributes();
10. HBA_GetPortStatistics();
11. HBA_GetDiscoveredPortAttributes();
12. HBA_GetPortAttributesByWWN();
FC-3 Management Functions
13. HBA_SendCTPassThru();
14. HBA_GetEventBuffer();
15. HBA_SetRNIDMgmtInfo();
16. HBA_GetRNIDMgmtInfo();
17. HBA_SendRNID();
FCP Information Functions

NOTE: FCP Information Functions require that the applications calling
them have an effective user id as that of the root user (euid = 0).
