HBA_GetPortStatistics(3HBAAPI)

Name

HBA_GetPortStatistics, HBA_GetFC4Statistics, HBA_GetFCPStatistics, HBA_ResetStatistics - Access Port statistics for a specific HBA port.

Synopsis

cc [ flag… ] file–lHBAAPI [ library… ]
#include <hbaapi.h>

HBA_STATUS HBA_GetPortStatistics(HBA_HANDLE handle,
     HBA_UINT32 portindex, HBA_PORTSTATISTICS *portstatistics);
HBA_STATUS HBA_GetFC4Statistics(HBA_HANDLE handle, HBA_WWN portWWN,
     HBA_UINT8 FC4type, HBA_FC4STATISTICS * statistics);
HBA_STATUS HBA_GetFCPStatistics(HBA_HANDLE handle,
     const HBA_SCSIID * lunid, HBA_FC4STATISTICS * statistics);
void HBA_ResetStatistics(HBA_HANDLE handle, HBA_UINT32 portindex);

Parameters

handle

an open handle returned from HBA_OpenAdapter(3HBAAPI)

portindex

the index of a specific port on the HBA as returned by a call to HBA_GetAdapterAttributes(3HBAAPI). The maximum value specified should be (HBA_ADAPTERATTRIBUTES.NumberOfPorts - 1).

portstatistics

a pointer to an HBA_PORTSTATISTICS structure. Upon successful completion, this structure contains the specified port attributes.

portWWN

the Port WWN of the local HBA for which FC-4 statistics is being returned

FC4type

FC-4 protocol Data Structure Type as defined in FC-FS for which statistics are being requested

statistics

a pointer to an HBA_FC4STATISTICS structure where the specified statistics is being returned

lunid

a pointer to an HBA_SCSIID structure specifying the OS SCSI logical unit where statistics are being requested

Description

The HBA_GetPortStatistics() function retrieves the statistical information from a given HBA port.

The HBA_GetFC4Statistics() function retrieves the traffic statistics for a specific FC-4 protocol.

The HBA_GetFCPStatistics() function retrieves the traffic statistics for a specific FC-4 protocol on the specified OS SCSI logical unit through that port.

The HBA_ResetStatistics() function sesets the statistical counters to zero for a given HBA port.

Return Values

Upon successful completion, HBA_GetPortStatistics() returns HBA_STATUS_OK. Otherwise, an error value is returned from the underlying VSL and the values in portstatistics are undefined. If the VSL does not support a specific statistic, that statistic will have every bit set to 1.

Upon successful completion, HBA_GetFC4Statistics() and HBA_GetFCPStatistics() return HBA_STATUS_OK. Otherwise, an error value is returned from the underlying VSL and the values in statistics are undefined. If the VSL does not support a specific statistic, that statistic will have every bit set to 1.

Errors

See libhbaapi(3LIB) for general error status values.
