Verifying SNIA HBA API Support
The management server can only talk to host bus adapters (HBAs) that support the SNIA HBA API.
You can run the hbatest program, which is accessible from the CIM Extension CD-ROM. The
program, hbatest, lists the name and number for all HBA's that support the SNIA HBA API. In some
instances hbatest may report it cannot find an HBA driver even though an HBA driver is installed.
Try installing a different version of the HBA driver that is SNIA compliant.
1. Go to the Irix/tools directory on the CIM Extension CD-ROM.
2. Enter the following at the command prompt:./hbatest

# ls
The following is displayed:
/usr/include/hba_api.h
