against predefined profiles you created. Before you run either of these tools, create profiles for your

environment, as described in the following steps.

1.

Go to the %JBOSS4_DIST%\server\appiq\remotescripts\advisors directory and

open one of the following files in a text editor, such as Notepad:
HBA Risk Analysis - hba_risk_analysis.conf
Switch Risk Analysis - switch_risk_analysis.conf

2.

In the configuration file, do one of the following:
• If you are editing hba_risk_analysis.conf, define a profile for each type of HBA in

your environment.

• If you are editing switch_risk_analysis.conf, define a profile for each type of switch

in your environment.

The profile name can be any name you want, and the number and type of fields in the profile is

defined by you. For example, assume you want to check that all HBAs in Solaris hosts are a

certain model (LP-9000). The profile would be in hba_risk_analysis.conf and it would

resemble the following:

any profile name

the 'OS' field = Solaris

the 'Model' field = LP-9000

Let's expand that analysis to verifying that those HBA's also have a certain driver version and a

certain firmware level, as shown in the following example profile:

any profile name

the 'OS' field = Solaris

the 'Model' field = LP-9000

the 'DriverVersion' field = whatever

the 'FirmwareVersion' field = whatever

IMPORTANT:

The use of 'special' characters in the field values are interpreted as regular

expressions (or wildcards) by the search. For example, "Model LP900[02]" will match the

values "LP-9000" or "LP-9002". "FirmwareVersion 3.90A[0-9]" will match any firmware

version 3.90A0 through 3.90A9.

3.

Once you have your profiles configured, run HBA Risk Analysis or Switch Risk Analysis. The tool

compares every HBA or switch against the profiles and flag any HBA or switch that does not

match at least one profile.
