Description
The Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Application
Programming Interface (HBA API) provides services and interfaces
for SAN management applications. It is defined in FC-HBA (The T11
Technical Committee, Fibre Channel HBA API,
http://www.t11.org).
lib-zfcp-hbaapi is a user-space library and serves as the
implementation of an FC-HBA compliant interface for user
applications. The zfcp host bus adapter driver (included in June
2003 stream 2004-01-30 patches) for zSeries FCP channels is
extended by additional communication paths which are exploited by
the user space library to request and receive SAN management
information. For additional information, please see Linux for zSeries and S/390 Device
Drivers and Installation Commands and the documentation
enclosed in the lib-zfcp-hbaapi package.
Hardware Requirements
The zfcp HBA API support is only available on IBM
eServer zSeries 990 mainframes with a microcode level (MCL) that
includes the enhancements of October 31, 2003. Please ensure to use
the latest available microcode level.
