zfcp HBA API library
This page is the 'homepage' of the Linux on IBM Z lib-zfcp-hbaapi "zfcp HBA API library" package. (HBA is short for "Host Bus Adapter".)
Introduction
zfcp HBA API library, Version 2, is part of an implementation of FC-HBA for the ZFCP device driver to be used with the Linux on Z distributions.
Note: Version 2.0 is a complete re-implementation:
- zfcp HBA API Version 2 works only with the "Development stream" as of kernel 2.6.27 or later.
- Version 1 of lib-zfcp-hbaapi did not have a shared version of the library; libzfcphbaapi was linked statically against the san_disc tool. With Version 2, the shared version of the library is available again.
- The device file for the communication with the zfcp kernel module is not needed any more. The only interfaces utilized now are the sysfs and the generic scsi devices.
