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.
IMPORTANT: If you have an Emulex host bus adapter (HBA) on the host, you must install the full
HBAnywhere package. If you do not install the full HBAnywhere package, hbatest will still detect the
Emulex HBA but the installation for the CIM Extension will fail with the message that it cannot find
any supported HBAs on the host. Contact Emulex at
http://www.emulex.com for more information on how to obtain the full HBAnywhere package.
To run hbatest:
1. Open a command prompt window and go to the Windows\tools directory on the CIM
Extension CD-ROM.
2. Enter the following at the command prompt: hbatest.exe
The program runs its diagnostics.
