32-bit SNIA Common HBA API required on Windows hosts

For proper discovery of Fibre Channel attached devices - including discovery of HBA and its target ports - Veritas Operations Manager requires installation of the 32-bit SNIA Common HBA API on all Windows managed hosts running HBA controllers.

The Common HBA API is typically available as part of your HBA vendor's driver kit, or you can download it from your HBA vendor's site.

Follow these steps to determine if the SNIA Common HBA API is already present on your Windows host.

To verify that the 32-bit SNIA Common HBA API is installed on a Windows host

  1. Open the registry editor on the managed host using the regedit command.
  2. Check the following location to get the SNIA library information:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SNIA\HBA\hba_model

On 64-bit platforms, Veritas Operations Manager requires 32-bit libraries installed as a pre-requisite. For more information, see your HBA vendor documentation.
