Starting HBAnyware from the Command Line

The HBAnyware utility can also be launched with a command line call for both Windows and Unix systems.

Note HBAnyware can only discover and manage remote HBAs on hosts that are running HBAnyware's rmserver.
 

To start the HBAnyware utility from the command line (Windows):

  1. Type  “HBAnyware”  and press <ENTER>.  This starts HBAnyware running in in-band access.  You can also start the utility running in out-of-band access by adding an argument in the form “h=<host>”.  The <host> argument may be either the IP address of the host or its system name.  The call will use a default IP port of 23333, but you can override this by optionally appending a colon (:) and the IP  port number.  

To start the HBAnyware utility from the command line (UNIX):

  1. Type  /usr/sbin/hbanyware/hbanyware.  This starts HBAnyware running in in-band access.  You can also start the utility running in out-of-band access by adding an argument in the form “h=<host>”.  The <host> argument may be either the IP address of the host or its system name.  The call will use a default IP port of 23333, but you can override this by optionally appending a colon (:) and the IP  port number.  

Note Remember that not all HBAs for a specific host may be running in-band. Therefore, running out-of-band for that host may display HBAs that do not appear on that host when running in-band.

Examples of Modifications

  • HBAnyware h=138.239.82.2
    HBAnyware will show HBAs in the host with the IP address 138.239.82.2.

  • HBAnyware h=Util01
    HBAnyware will show HBAs in the host named Util01.

  • HBAnyware h=138.239.82.2:4295
    HBAnyware will show HBAs in the host with the IP address 138.239.82.2 using IP Port 4295.

  • HBAnyware h=Util01:4295
    HBAnyware will show HBAs in the host named Util01 using IP port 4295.

Run this modified command line to launch the HBAnyware utility for a single, remote host in local mode.
