    This api give the field of:
    NumberofDiscoveredPorts back as 0 when you expect
    a value of 1 or more for the devices attached.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • When the HBA_GetAdapterPortAttributes() function of the HBA API
    implemented in libHBAAPI.a is used, it may return the value
    of NumberofDiscoveredPorts as 0 even though there are devices
    attached to that FC port.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The HBA API code fixed so that only proper devices are
    considered while finding NumberofDiscoveredPorts and hence
    there is no error in consulting the ODM and proper count is
    reported.
    

Temporary fix
