Fulfilling the Prerequisites
If your installation failed, you may be missing the following prerequisites. Refer to the information
below on the required maintenance level and file sets.
IMPORTANT: Installation of the devices.common.IBM.fc.hba-api.5.1.0.0 file set is
optional. If you do not install this file set, you will be able to discover the AIX host, but you will not
see any information about your host bus adapters or any information they provide. For example, the
Navigation page for the host will not show results for host bus adapters, HBA ports, or bindings.
Also if you do not install the
devices.common.IBM.fc.hba-api.5.1.0.0 file set, the host is displayed in the topology,
but devices attached to the host are not displayed, such as switches. This information also applies to
the devices.common.IBM.fc.hba-api.5.3.0.0 file set for AIX 5.3.
