In computing, the FC-HBA API (also called the SNIA Common HBA API) is an Application Programming Interface for Host Bus Adapters connecting computers to hard disks via a Fibre Channel network.
It was developed by the Storage Networking Industry Association[1] and published by the T11.5 committee of INCITS[2] An "early implementers version" was published in 2000, and the current version was completed in 2002.
According to the FAQ,[3] "the HBA API has been overwhelmingly adopted by Storage Area Network vendors to help manage, monitor, and deploy storage area networks in an interoperable way."
[4] Windows Server 2003, AIX 5, HPUX and Solaris include support for FC-HBA API and it is being added to Linux.
