Configuration
Introduction
The HBAnyware utility is launched directly from your Web browser. The utility is client/server based and
allows you to perform configuration, update and management tasks locally and remotely (inband - host
systems on the same FC SAN or out-of-band - from IP addresses of remote machines). The HBAnyware
Web Launch feature enables you to download and launch the HBAnyware user interface by specifying
the URL of a server that is hosting the HBAnyware Web Launch software. You only need a standard web
browser, or some other application capable of making HTTP requests.
Use the HBAnyware utility to do any of the following:
• Discover local and remote hosts, HBAs, targets and LUNs
• Reset HBAs
• Set HBA driver parameters locally, simultaneously to multiple HBAs (using Batch
Update) and globally
• Update firmware on a single HBA or multiple HBAs using Batch Update
• Update FC boot code (BootBIOS, OpenBoot or EFIBoot) on the local HBA or on remote
HBAs
• Enable or disable the system BIOS
• Run diagnostic tests on HBAs
• Manage local, in-band remote and out-of-band remote HBAs
• Locate HBAs using beaconing
• The Solaris SFS utility allows you to make changes to the driver initialization.
• The Emulex FCA utilities consist of the emlxadm utility and the emlxdrv utility:
• The emlxadm utility provides an interface to the FCIO interface provided by the Sun
StorEdge SFS.
• The emlxdrv utility temporarily associates or binds the Emulex emlxs Solaris SFS driver and
the Solaris lpfc driver to the various models of Emulex FC HBAs during migration from the
Solaris lpfc driver to the Solaris SFS driver.
Note: Only the HBAnyware Web Launch GUI is being exported to the requesting client. All
HBA discovery and remote management operations are performed by resources
running on the remote host that served up the GUI component. Therefore, the SAN
"view" displayed by the GUI is not from the perspective of the client running the GUI,
but rather from the perspective of the host from which this GUI was retrieved.
Note: Remote in-band capabilities of the HBAnyware utility are subject to fabric zoning
configuration. Remote hosts you want to discover and manage using the HBAnyware
utility must be in the same zone or discovered and managed out-of-band through an
Ethernet connection.
