Miscellaneous Planning and Procedures
Emulex HBA API library information
SP1 or later for Windows 2003 is not required for the 1.20xx driver,
but is recommended.
There are two installation scenarios with respect to STORPort
1.20a3/HBAnyware 3.0 and the Emulex HBA API:
◆ If the Microsoft HBA API has been installed (typically with SP1 or
SP2), Emulex does not install the Emulex HBAAPI
(emulexhbaapi.dll). In this case, the Microsoft HBA API
(hbaapi.dll) is used.
◆ If the Microsoft HBA API has not been installed (typically
pre-SP1), Emulex will install the Emulex HBA API in the system
folder. If the server is later upgraded to SP1or later, the Microsoft
HBA API will replace the Emulex HBA API.
The plan behind these scenarios is that Emulex is moving to using the
Microsoft HBA API with HBAnyware and would like customers and
software developers to move in that direction rather than depend on
the Emulex HBA API. The Microsoft HBA API is expected to become
the Windows standard. Emulex is moving away from distributing
and supporting the Emulex HBA API.
EMC ControlCenter Host Agent for Windows 5.2 SP4/SP5 (possibly
older versions as well) may require that users obtain the Emulex
HBAAPI Mini kit which will provide the Emulex HBA API. Use the
