Manageengine HBA agents for Windows, Linux, SUN Solaris, HP-UX and IBM AIX servers

Heterogeneous management tool for storage area networks

Manageengine HBA Agent is vendor neutral and is built on SNIA Common HBA API specification. The agent is capable of working with SNIA compliant HBAs such as QLogic, Emulex, JNI, and HP Tachyon.

HBA agents available for following OS

  • Windows
  • Linux
  • SUN Solaris
  • HP-UX

Note: Manageengine HBA agents will work only on SNIA compliant HBA drivers.

Steps to check whether HBA driver is SNIA compliant:

  • Windows: Check for the registry key under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> SNIA --> HBA
  • Linux /Solaris /HP-UX: Check for the file /etc/hba.conf
  • If entries not present then first install SNIA compliant HBA driver before installing Manageengine HBA agent

Note: For Emulex, if the installed HBA drivers are with HBAAnyware v3.0 or later, the above mentioned registry key entry will not be available. In this case, download and install a copy of HBA API libraries from the following URL. On doing so, the registry is modified to reflect the location of the library.

Steps to run HBA agents on Windows 2003/2008 server
  • Unzip the HBA agent service zip ( jhbaservice.zip).
  • This will create a set of files under the directory hbaservice.
  • Go to directory hbaservice/
  • Open wrapper.conf
  • JRE is present in Windows servers under C:\Program Files\Java directory.
  • Set the path of java bundled as part of JRE to the wrapper.java.command property.

    For example, if the path is C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin\java then set the property value as follows
    wrapper.java.command
    =C:\Progra~1\Java\j2re1.4.2_04\bin\java

    Note :
    a. Specify JRE 1.4.2 and higher versions
    b. In the above, "Program Files" is to be abbreviated as Progra~1

  • Save this wrapper.conf with the above changes.
  • Run HBAService.bat -i to install and register the HBA agent as a windows service.
  • Run HBAService.bat -t to start the HBA agent service

Note: The above procedure holds good when installing the HBA Agents on 64 bit machines.
