ABSTRACT:
Method and system for a storage area network is provided. The method includes sending a command from a management application executed in a first host system that executes a first operating system; receiving the command at a host bus adapter installed in a second host system that executes a second operating system, where the second operating system has limited capability compared to the first operating system; parsing the command at the host adapter, wherein a management application interface executed by a processor for the host bus adapter parses the command; and performing a task specified by the command, wherein the management interface forwards the command to a component for executing the task specified by the command.
