Data model - HBA element object
An HBA represents a single Host Bus Adapter (HBA) available to a partition in a CPC. An HBA is an access point between a CPC and a Storage Area Network (SAN).
The following table contains the HBA element object properties.
Name | Qualifier | Type | Description of specialization |
---|---|---|---|
element-uri | — | String/ URI | The canonical URI path of an HBA element is of the form
/api/partitions/{partition-id}/hbas/{hba-id}
where {partition-id} represents the
object-id of the Partition object and {hba-id} represents
the element-id of the HBA. |
element-id | — | String (36) | The unique identifier for an HBA element. The string form of a UUID. |
parent | — | String/ URI | The canonical URI path of the Partition object. |
class | — | String | The class of an HBA element is "hba". |
name | (w)(pc) | String (1-64) | The display name of an HBA element. This name must be unique among all of the partition's HBA elements, and it must conform to the length and character requirements of the name property described in the Base managed object properties schema. |
description | (w)(pc) | String (0-1024) | The description of the HBA element. Default: an empty string. |
wwpn | — | String (16) | The worldwide port name of the HBA element. The string form of wwpn is of 16 hexadecimal characters. |
device-number | (w)(pc) | String (4) | Device number of the HBA. The string is in the form of a 4-digit hexadecimal number. The allowed value range is from 0001-FFFF. Default: auto-generated. Constraint: This number must be unique across the device numbers of all other HBA elements and all instances of the objects listed in Channel-based device numbers of the partition. |
adapter-port-uri | (pc) | String/ URI | The canonical URI path of the Storage Port element object to which this HBA is connected. |
