function call ... yet).
5.5 Why was the HBA_ResetStatistics call removed?
The HBA_ResetStatistics call was removed because it was decided that resetting statistics counters is an undesirable
function. Because any application accessing the HBA API could reset statistics, this could potentially confuse other
software monitoring statistics counters. (We did not implement this feature for obvious reasons).

7.1. What happens if the HBA API runtime is not installed on this system?
If you run the software with either the -fc , -fcping , or any other option that starts with "fc", the software will
just report that there are non SNIA-supported HBAs attached to your system. All of the other functionality relating to
direct-attached fibre channel devices will be unaffected.
7.2. What if I have more than one make and/or model of HBA in my system?
