Description:

The SNIA Common HBA API is an industry standard C language
Application Programming Interface for management of Fibre Channel Host
Bus Adapters and discovery of SAN resources. Developed through the
Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA), the HBA API has been
overwhelmingly adopted by Storage Area Network vendors to help manage,
monitor, and deploy storage area networks. It defines a scope within
which application software can be written without attention to
vendor-specific infrastructure behavior.
