Solaris HBA information

On a Solaris system, you can use the command fcinfo to get HBA related information:

# fcinfo hba-port HBA Port WWN: 210000144fe71480 OS Device Name: /dev/cfg/c1 Manufacturer: QLogic Corp. Model: 2200 Type: L-port State: online Supported Speeds: 1Gb Current Speed: 1Gb Node WWN: 200000144fe71480 HBA Port WWN: 10000000c950c6a2 OS Device Name: /dev/cfg/c5 Manufacturer: Emulex Model: LP10000-S Type: N-port State: online Supported Speeds: 1Gb 2Gb Current Speed: 2Gb Node WWN: 20000000c950c6a2 HBA Port WWN: 10000000c950c6b7 OS Device Name: /dev/cfg/c4 Manufacturer: Emulex Model: LP10000-S Type: N-port State: online Supported Speeds: 1Gb 2Gb Current Speed: 2Gb Node WWN: 20000000c950c6b7

In the example above, you can see that the server has three HBAs (one QLogic and two Emulex).

A very nice guide to install NRPE and nagios-plugins on Solaris 10 can be found here. To stop/start the NRPE, you can use the following command:

# svcadm disable svc:/network/nrpe/tcp
# svcadm enable svc:/network/nrpe/tcp

If you keep getting the "CHECK_NRPE: Error – Could not complete SSL handshake." message, see this FAQ comment
