istall sas raid HBA internal card
I need to install a raid HBA internal card on a T5240. The reason is I have
more drives and the current mother board controller does not support more
than 4 drives.
My question is I have raidctl set up on current drives. If I install new HBA
card do I have to delete current raidctl and make a new raidctl for new
HBA or will new HBA work with current raidctl?

I have a V490 that has couple internal disks attached to the same dual-port HBA card that I'm planning attach to the SAN for additional storage.
Would I sacrifice performance if I use the same HBA?
Is it better to throw in a new HBA instead? (1 Reply)

HBA_GetBindingCapability, HBA_GetBindingSupport, HBA_SetBindingSupport - return and sets binding capabilities on an HBA port
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lHBAAPI [ library... ]
#include <hbaapi.h>
HBA_HANDLE HBA_GetBindingCapability(HBA_HANDLE handle, HBA_WWN hbaPortWWN, HBA_BIND_CAPABILITY *pFlags);
HBA_STATUS HBA_GetBindingSupport(HBA_HANDLE handle, HBA_WWN hbaPortWWN, HBA_BIND_CAPABILITY *pFlags);
void HBA_SetBindingSupport(HBA_HANDLE handle, HBA_WWN hbaPortWWN, HBA_BIND_CAPABILITY Flags);
PARAMETERS
handle an open handle returned from HBA_OpenAdapter(3HBAAPI)
hbaPortWWN the Port WWN of the local HBA through which the binding capabilities implemented by the HBA is returned
pFlags a pointer to an HBA_BIND_CAPABILITY structure that returns the persistent binding capabilites implemented by the HBA
Flags an HBA_BIND_CAPABILITY structure containing the persistent binding capabilites to enable for the HBA
DESCRIPTION
The HBA_GetBindingCapability() function returns the binding capabilities implemented by the HBA.
The HBA_GetBindingSupport() function returns the currently enabled binding capabilities for the HBA.
The HBA_SetBindingSupport() function sets the currently enabled binding capabilites for the HBA to a subset of the binding capabilities
implemented by the HBA.

HBA_STATUS_OK
Persistent binding capabilites have been returned.
HBA_STATUS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_WWN
Port WWN hbaPortWWN is not a WWN contained by the HBA referenced by handle.
HBA_STATUS_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED
The HBA handle specified by handle does not support persistent binding.
HBA_STATUS_ERROR
An error occurred. The value of pFlags remains unchanged and points to the persistent binding capabilites.
