Library Calls for Fibre Channel HBA Added

This kit provide a wrapper library and HBA-specific library for the Emulex adapter, which conforms to the T11 FC-HBA (T11/1568-D Revision 14) specification.

The purpose of this specification is to provide a host bus adapter (HBA) programming interface for Fibre Channel management applications to gather information about devices in the network in a vendor-neutral way through a set of Application Programming Interface (APIs). As a result of this neutrality, applications do not depend on the platform they run on or for a specific HBA, and therefore will not need to be rewritten.

This kit supports the following APIs:

HBA_GetVersion
HBA_LoadLibrary
HBA_FreeLibrary
HBA_RegisterLibraryV2
HBA_GetWrapperLibraryAttributes
HBA_GetVendorLibraryAttributes
HBA_GetNumberOfAdapters
HBA_RefreshInformation
HBA_RefreshAdapterConfiguration
HBA_GetAdapterName
HBA_OpenAdapter
HBA_CloseAdapter
HBA_GetAdapterAttributes
HBA_GetAdapterPortAttributes
HBA_GetDiscoveredPortAttributes
HBA_GetPortAttributesByWWN
HBA_GetPortStatistics
HBA_GetBindingCapability
HBA_GetBindingSupport
HBA_SetBindingSupport
HBA_GetFcpTargetMapping
HBA_GetFcpTargetMappingV2
HBA_GetFcpPersistentBinding
HBA_SendScsiInquiry
HBA_ScsiInquiryV2
HBA_SendReportLUNs
HBA_ScsiReportLunsV2
HBA_SendReadCapacity
HBA_ScsiReadCapacityV2

For information about each of these APIs, see the Storage Management HBA API (SM-HBA) standard (T11/1695-D) available at the www.t11.org Web site:

The API information is listed under FC-HBA Function Calls.
