Hi,

Is it possible to also enumerate the serial number (IEEE number) of HBAs detected on hosts? In addition, can WMI also report on where/which Fiber Channel switch/port the card is connected to?

This would be good feature IMHO.

Thanks

Jason

I know it's been a couple months, but have you had any luck with this? I have a decent size SAN deployment with Fibre Channel and this would be a tremendous help.

Do you have a vbscript that can do this already? I'm dececnt with vbscript, but haven't given this type of thing a go, yet. I'm guessing it might be as easy as looping through the hardware and checking for a known HBA... then kick off a query function to find the info.

If we can get that working, we might be able to extend the audit.vbs to include it.

Well in theory it can be done, and since it is possible to see most of the hardware through WMI I cant think why we would have any trouble seeing the Fiber cards and their details. Only trouble is... I dont have anything to test this on. So, you may have to do a bit of work and tell us what WMI query we need to use to find the information you require. Once we know this, we should be able to work out how to add it to OA fairly easily.

I've found multiple references to a Common HBA API that can be downloaded from Microsoft, but I can't find a download. I did find this:

[url]http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/FCTopology.mspx[/url] and I'm currently working my way through it. But, I keep getting a null return value for the enumSetAdapters array. The system I'm running against has Qlogic QLA23xx installed.

Also, I found this reference...

[url]http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms803430.aspx[/url]

Perhaps someone can put a test script together for queries against the classes.

Quick update...

I've been able to install the fcinfo tool from Microsoft. This installs the needed API to access the HBA WMI classes. After installing the FCInfo tool (with the API), I run this script from the Audit server:
[code]
' (VBScript)
' Functions
Function WWNToString(arrayWWN)
WWNToString = Hex0(arrayWWN(0))
For I = 1 To 7
WWNToString = WWNToString & ":" & Hex0(arrayWWN(I))
Next
End Function

Function Hex0(n)
Hex0 = Hex(n)
If (n < &h10) Then Hex0 = "0" & Hex0
End Function

' Connect to WMI.
strComputer = "afnbrkhds1"
Set oWbemServices = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\wmi")

' Enumerate the FC adapters.
Set enumSetAdapters = oWbemServices.InstancesOf("MSFC_FCAdapterHBAAttributes")
Set enumSetPorts = oWbemServices.InstancesOf("MSFC_FibrePortHBAAttributes")
nIndex = 0
For Each oEltAdapter in enumSetAdapters
For Each oEltPort in enumSetPorts
If (oEltAdapter.InstanceName = oEltPort.InstanceName) Then
sAdapterName = oEltAdapter.MfgDomain & _
"-" & oEltAdapter.Model & "-" & nIndex
WScript.Echo " adapter: " & sAdapterName
WScript.Echo " node_wwn: " & WWNToString(oEltAdapter.NodeWWN)
WScript.Echo " port_wwn: " & _
WWNToString(oEltPort.Attributes.PortWWN)
WScript.Echo
nIndex = nIndex + 1
End If
Next ' oEltPort
Next ' oEltAdapter
[/code]

And... I get pretty output:
[code]
C:\si_scripts>cscript fcquery.vbs
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved.

adapter: com.qlogic-QLA2340-0
node_wwn: 20:00:00:E0:8B:93:EF:11
port_wwn: 21:00:00:E0:8B:93:EF:11
[/code]

So, the next step is figure out how to adjust the audit.vbs from Open-Audit, to check if the SCSI adapter is a FC HBA, then we querie a common value from the WMI storage class and this.
