NAME

HBA_GetBindingCapability, HBA_GetBindingSupport, HBA_SetBindingSupport - return and sets binding capabilities on an HBA port  

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -lHBAAPI [ library... ]
#include <hbaapi.h>

HBA_HANDLE HBA_GetBindingCapability(HBA_HANDLE handle, HBA_WWN hbaPortWWN, HBA_BIND_CAPABILITY *pFlags);

HBA_STATUS HBA_GetBindingSupport(HBA_HANDLE handle, HBA_WWN hbaPortWWN, HBA_BIND_CAPABILITY *pFlags);

void HBA_SetBindingSupport(HBA_HANDLE handle, HBA_WWN hbaPortWWN, HBA_BIND_CAPABILITY Flags);  

PARAMETERS

handle an open handle returned from HBA_OpenAdapter(3HBAAPI)

hbaPortWWN the Port WWN of the local HBA through which the binding capabilities implemented by the HBA is returned

pFlags a pointer to an HBA_BIND_CAPABILITY structure that returns the persistent binding capabilites implemented by the HBA

Flags an HBA_BIND_CAPABILITY structure containing the persistent binding capabilites to enable for the HBA

 

DESCRIPTION

The HBA_GetBindingCapability() function returns the binding capabilities implemented by the HBA.

The HBA_GetBindingSupport() function returns the currently enabled binding capabilities for the HBA.

The HBA_SetBindingSupport() function sets the currently enabled binding capabilites for the HBA to a subset of the binding capabilities implemented by the HBA.  

RETURN VALUES

The HBA_GetBindingCapability() and HBA_GetBindingSupport() functions return the following values:

HBA_STATUS_OK

Persistent binding capabilites have been returned.

HBA_STATUS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_WWN

Port WWN hbaPortWWN is not a WWN contained by the HBA referenced by handle.

HBA_STATUS_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

The HBA handle specified by handle does not support persistent binding.

HBA_STATUS_ERROR

An error occurred. The value of pFlags remains unchanged and points to the persistent binding capabilites.

The HBA_SetBindingSupport() function returns:

HBA_STATUS_OK

Persistent binding capabilites have been enabled.

HBA_STATUS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_WWN

Port WWN hbaPortWWN is not a WWN contained by the HBA referenced by handle.

HBA_STATUS_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

The HBA handle specified by handle does not support persistent binding.

HBA_STATUS_ERROR_INCAPABLE

The flags argument contains a capability not implemented by the HBA.

HBA_STATUS_ERROR

An error occurred.
