Hi,
I'm trying to determine which HBA cards are installed on my Solaris 10 (Sun-Fire-V240) machine.
The relevant data I have is below, but from it I cannot ascertain for sure if I have Emulex 10000 or 11000 HBA cards.
Can anyone suggest how to determine my HBA hardware ?
Thanks,
Ron.

NAME
hbaapi - Fibre Channel Storage Network Industry Association Host Bus Adapter Application Programming Interface (FC SNIA HBA API)
DESCRIPTION
The Common HBA API provides a consistent HBA standard interface for accessing information in a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN)
that would be implemented across vendors as a standard 'C' API supported by vendor specific library instances.
This API library is thread-safe, but threads should not be cancelled when execution is in the API.
The following functions are available in the API for managing a Fibre Channel HBA. This API would be exposed to upper level applications
to control SAN functionality.
Please refer to for details on structures used.
