handle

HBA_OpenAdapterByWWN()

a pointer to an HBA_HANDLE

HBA_CloseAdapter()

wwn

the WWN to match the Node WWN or Port WWN of the HBA to open

Description

The HBA_OpenAdapter() function opens the adapter specified by adaptername and returns a handle used for subsequent operations on the HBA.

The HBA_OpenAdapterByWWN() function opens a handle to the HBA whose Node or Port WWN matches the wwn argument.

The HBA_CloseAdapter() function closes the open handle.

Return Values

Upon successful completion, HBA_OpenAdapter() returns a valid HBA_HANDLE with a numeric value greater than 0. Otherwise, 0 is returned.

The HBA_OpenAdapterByWWN() function returns the following values:

HBA_STATUS_OK

The handle argument contains a valid HBA handle.

HBA_STATUS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_WWN

The wwn argument is not a valid port WWN on the specified HBA.

HBA_STATUS_ERROR_AMBIGUOUS_WWN

The WWN is matched to multiple adapters.

HBA_STATUS_ERROR
