7.11.2 Emulex HBA tools
This section briefly describes the tools used to maintain IBM branded Emulex HBAs.
Emulex offers this software to drive and manage the HBAs, and it includes the following tools:
Driver
A host computer software component that controls the operation of peripheral controllers
or HBAs attached to the host computer. Drivers manage communication and data transfer
between applications and I/O devices, using HBAs as agents.
The HBAnywareutility (HBAnyware)
This utility allows you to perform installation and configuration tasks on remote and local
HBAs.
Security Configurator
The HBAnyware security package allows you to control which HBAnyware systems can
remotely access and manage HBAs on other systems in a Fibre Channel (FC) network.
LightPulse utility (lputilnt)
This driver-specific utility for the Storport Miniport and SCSIport Miniport drivers provides
a user-friendly interface that allows you to examine, manage, and configure installed
HBAs. lputilnt is automatically installed when you install the HBAnyware utility.
