SMHBA.CONF(5) File Formats and Configurations SMHBA.CONF(5)

NAME

smhba.conf - configuration file for the SMHBAAPI library

DESCRIPTION

The /etc/smhba.conf file is used to specify the Vendor-Specific
Libraries that are installed on the system. This file is used by the
Common Library to load the individual VSLs when
HBA_LoadLibrary(3HBAAPI) is called. If changes are made to the file
while the library is in use, the library should be freed and
reloaded. A version 1 VSL is compatible only with a version 1 Common
Library. A version 2 VSL is compatible with both a version 1 and a
version 2 Common Library.


Each VSL entry is a single line of the form:

"name" "library path"


where:

name
is the description of library. The library name
should be prepended with the domain of the
manufacturer of the library.


library path
is the absolute path to the shared object library
file.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Contents of /etc/smhba.conf

# This file contains names and references to SM-HBA libraries
#
# Format:

# <library name> <library pathname>
#
# The library name should be prepended with the domain of
# the manufacturer or driver author.

NOTES

The SMHBAAPI library is provided in both 32-and 64-bit versions, but
only one configuration file is specified. As a result, both 32- and
64-bit VSL libraries must be specified within the same file. When
using the 32-bit Common Library, the 64-bit VSLs will fail to load.
When using the 64-bit Common Library, the 32-bit VSLs will fail to
load. These failures are silently ignored by the Common Library
during normal usage, but can result in warning messages when running
client applications in a debugger.
