Synopsis

   #include <sys/sdi.h>

   HBA_IDATA_STRUCT *sdi_hba_autoconf(char *drvname,
   	HBA_IDATA_STRUCT *idata, int *cntls);

Description

sdi_hba_autoconf allocates a new idata array for the calling HBA driver. The contents of the new array reflect configuration information retrieved from the autoconfiguration resource manager database for each controller associated with the calling driver.

Arguments

drvname: the module name for the driver
idata: pointer to original idata array
cntls: pointer to integer into which the number of controllers associated with the calling driver is stored

Return values

A new idata structure reflecting resource manager database information.
