Setting up Risk Analysis
The risk analysis tools flag which HBAs and/or switches are a risk in your environment. The HBA
Risk Analysis and Switch Risk Analysis determine which elements are at risk by checking them
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.
