Host Bus Adapter API
24 BC0054508-00 J
QLASP provides events through event logs. To inspect or monitor these events,
use either the Event Viewer provided by Windows Server platforms or the CIM.
The QLogic CIM provider also provides event information through the CIM generic
event model. These events are __InstanceCreationEvent,
__InstanceDeletionEvent, and __InstanceModificationEvent, and
are defined by CIM. CIM requires the client application to register the events from
the client application, using queries as the following examples to receive events
properly:
SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent
where TargetInstance ISA “QLGC_NetworkAdapter”
SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent
where TargetInstance ISA "QLGC_ExtraCapacityGroup"
SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent
where TargetInstance ISA "QLGC_NetworkAdapter"
SELECT * FROM __InstanceDeletionEvent
where TargetInstance ISA "QLGC_NetworkAdapter"
SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent
where TargetInstance ISA "QLGC_ActsAsSpare"
SELECT * FROM __InstanceDeletionEvent
where TargetInstance ISA "QLGC_ActsAsSpare"
For detailed information about these events, see the CIM documentation:
http://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0004V2.3_final.pdf
QLogic also implements the SMI-S, which defines CIM management profiles for
storage systems.
Host Bus Adapter API
QLogic supports the SNIA Common HBA API on Windows and Linux operating
systems. The Common HBA API is an application program interface for the
management of Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters.
