HBA—The

add

command can be used to create a single HBA (like that of an unregistered UDH),

a host, a VSM, or a DPM. When assigning an HBA to a host, VSM, or DPM, the demo initiator
needs to create the host, VSM or DPM. If this object already exists, it should attach the HBA to
that object. The initiator also needs to assign two access paths through the given DPM, one for
each (simulated) port of the DPM. The options are:

-v -t VSM -d

Creates a VSM. The demo initiator needs to create a host object for this VSM and also a VSM
and domain objects.

-v -t dpm

Creates a DPM and attaches an HBA to it. DPMs must be created first, before all hosts or single
HBAs, because its name is needed as an argument to create the other objects.

-v -t hba -s -ys

Creates an HBA that is visible through the given DPM. For this kind of HBA you need to create
a dummy host.

-v -t HostVendor

Creates a standard host with the given name. This creates both an HBA and a host object
(HBA group) if they do not already exist.

-v -t UdhVendor -s -ys

Creates a host with the given name. This should create both an HBA and a host object (HBA
group) if they do not already exist. If a DPM is not provided, it will create a standard host.

Commands file

A text file that contains a list of commands. Each command contains the operation, object type, and
parameters. The demo initiator will run these commands one by one in a single batch.
