Installing the CIM Extension for Microsoft Windows230
• If you have not installed the CIM Extension - Go to the Windows\tools directory on
the CIM Extension CD-ROM.
• If you have installed the CIM Extension - Go to the
<Installation_Directory>\CimExtensions\tools directory on the host running
the CIM Extension.
2. Enter the following at the command prompt: hbatest.exe
The program lists the name and number for all HBA’s that support the SNIA HBA API.
3. (Optional) To obtain additional diagnostics for debugging, enter the following at the command
prompt:
hbatest -v
The -v (verbose) option runs the same commands that the CIM Extension runs to retrieve all HBA
information and displays the output.
Emulex Host Bus Adapters
The Windows CIM Extension requires the SNIA library (HBA API). Previous versions of HBAnyware
provide the SNIA library; however, several later versions of HBAnyware do not ship with the SNIA
library and rely upon Microsoft’s SNIA library.
Your configuration may require you to run the setupelxhbaapi program, which modifies the registry
so that SNIA libraries can be detected by the CIM Extension. To determine if your configuration
requires you to run the setupelxhbaapi program go to the following Web site:
http://www.emulex.com/ts/downloads/windows/rel/hbaapi.
IMPORTANT: If you run the setupelxhbaapi program, you do not need to install HBAnyware. The
setupelxhbaapi program installs the SNIA library, which is required by the CIM Extension. If you do
not run the setupelxhbaapi program, you must install the full HBAnyware package to obtain the
SNIA library.
This program installs the hbaapi.dll and Emulex emulexhbaapi.dll files into the
program files\emulex\hbaapi folder. The installation also creates a registry key with the
absolute path to the emulexhbaapi.dll file.
