Verifying SNIA HBA API Support
The management server can only talk to host bus adapters (HBAs) that support the SNIA HBA API.
The hbatest program, which is accessible from the CIM Extension CD-ROM, lists the name and
number for all HBAs 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.
IMPORTANT: The Emulex driver does not contain the required library that is required by HP
Storage Essentials. You must install Emulex HBAnywhere software so that HP Storage Essentials can
discover hosts configured with HBAnywhere and hbatest can detect the Emulex host bus adapter.
To run hbatest:
1. Go to the Aix/tools directory on the CIM Extension 1 CD-ROM.
2. Enter the following at the command prompt:
./hbatest
The program runs its diagnostics.
IBM Adapters FCXXXX SNIA comes from the package devices.common.IBM.fc.hba-api. To find its
library, enter the following at the command prompt:
# more /etc/hba.conf
The following is displayed:
com.ibm.df1000f7 /usr/lib/libHBAAPI.a
com.ibm.df1000f9 /usr/lib/libHBAAPI.a
Installing the CIM Extension
IMPORTANT: The following steps assume you know how to use the AIX System Management
Interface Tool (SMIT). If you are unfamiliar with SMIT, refer to the documentation that accompanies
the AIX host.
To upgrade the CIM Extension, first remove the previous version before installing the latest version.
Builds 4.2 and later of the CIM extension are compatible with this build of the management server.
You must upgrade your CIM extension if you want the latest functionality, as described in ”About
Upgrading Your CIM Extensions” on page 189.
To install the CIM Extension for AIX:
