Common Storage Management HBA information library
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lSMHBAAPI [ library... ]
#include <smhbaapi.h>
DESCRIPTION
The functions in this library access Fibre Channel and/or Sereal
Attached SCSI HBA data depending on vendor provided implementation
underneath.
HBA information is provided through a standard interface in a vendor
independent manner. This common interface provides access to the fol‐
lowing information:
o Local HBA attributes
o Local HBA port attributes and statistics
o Mapping between discovered devices and operating system SCSI
information
o Discovered devices port attributes
o SCSI commands for discovered devices (Report LUNS, Read
Capacity, and Inquiry)
o Storage Managment Protocol commands to discover Serial
Attached SCSI configuration details
o Common Transport commands to discover Fibre Channel Fabric
details
INTERFACES
The shared object libSMHBAAPI.so.1 provides the public interfaces
defined below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object
interfaces.

Client applications link with the Common Library (using -lSMHBAAPI) to
access the interfaces. The Common Library dynamically loads individual
Vendor-Specific Libraries (VSL) listed in /etc/smhba.conf and described
on smhba.conf(4).
Using the libSMHBAAPI involves the following steps:
1. Optionally determining the version of the library by calling
SMHBA_GetVersion().
2. Initializing the Common Library by calling HBA_LoadLi‐
brary().
3. Determine the number of HBAs known to the common library by
calling HBA_GetNumberOfAdapters().
4. Determine each HBA name in turn by calling HBA_GetAdapter‐
Name().
5. Open each HBA in turn by calling HBA_OpenAdapter().
6. Operate on a given HBA by calling the following:
o SMHBA_GetAdapterAttributes()
o SMHBA_GetAdapterPortAttributes()
o SMHBA_GetDiscoveredPortAttributes()
o SMHBA_GetPortAttributesByWWN()
o SMHBA_GetNumberofPorts()
o SMHBA_GetPortType()
o SMHBA_GetProtocolStatistics()
o SMHBA_GetPhyStatistics()
o SMHBA_GetBindingCapability()
o SMHBA_GetBindingSupport()
o SMHBA_SetBindingSupport()
o SMHBA_GetTargetMapping()
o SMHBA_GetPersistentBinding()
o SMHBA_SetPersistentBinding()
o SMHBA_RemoveAllPersistentBindings()
o SMHBA_GetLUNStatistics()
o SMHBA_SendScsiInquiry()
o SMHBA_SendReportLuns()
o SMHBA_SendReadCapacity()
o SMHBA_RegisterForAdapterAddEvents()
o SMHBA_RegisterForAdapterEvents()
o SMHBA_RegisterForAdapterPortEvents()
o SMHBA_RegisterForAdapterPortStatEvents()
o SMHBA_RegisterForAdapterPhyStatEvents()
o SMHBA_RegisterForTargetEvents()
o HBA_RegisterForLinkEvents()
o HBA_RemoveCallback()
For Serial Attached HBA
o SMHBA_GetSASPhyAttributes()
o SMHBA_SendSMPPassThru()
For Fibre Channle HBA
o SMHBA_GetFCPhyAttributes()
o HBA_SendCTPassThruV2()
o HBA_SetRNIDMgmtInfo()
o HBA_GetRNIDMgmtInfo()
o HBA_SendRNIDV2()
o HBA_SendRPL()
o HBA_SendRPS()
o HBA_SendSRL()
o HBA_SendLIRR()
o HBA_SendRLS()
o HBA_SendTEST()
o HBA_SendECHO()
7. Close open HBAs by calling HBA_CloseAdapter().
8. Unload the library by calling HBA_FreeLibrary().
