This sample consists of utilities to allow a host in a Fibre Channel network to register information about itself with the Fibre Channel fabric. The scripts/programs are to be used as follows: additab: This is a script to add an inittab entry so that the platform registration is performed at boot time. register_platform: This is the script that performs the platform registration. It first checks to see if a Fibre Channel fabric environment is present, and then it calls the hba_reg_platform program to gather the platform information and send it to the fabric through the HBA. hba_reg_platform: This is an executable that uses the HBA API to gather the platform information, and then send it to the fabric. prtserialnum: This is a script used by the hba_reg_platform program to return the serial number of the machine.
