27.Sh INTERFACE LEVEL
28.Sy Evolving -
29This interface is still evolving in illumos.
30API and ABI stability is
31not guaranteed.
32.Sh PARAMETERS
33.Bl -tag -width Fa
34.It Fa dip
35Pointer to
36.Vt dev_info
37structure.
38.It Fa port
39The name of the iport to add.
40.El
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Fn scsi_hba_iport_register
44function is used to create a new iport.
45For more information on iports and their uses, see
46.Xr iport 9 .
47This interface is generally used then there are a fixed, static set of
48iports that exist in the system.
49If the set of iports is dynamic or related to phys coming online and
50offline, then the driver should instead consider using the
51.Xr iportmap 9
52abstraction.
53.Pp
54The iport will be created as a child of the device represented by
55.Fa dip .
56The iport will be bound to the same driver.
57To distinguish nodes, the driver should use the
58.Xr scsi_hba_iport_unit_address 9F
59function.
60.Pp
61The name of the iport, specified by
62.Fa port ,
63must be unique for a given parent.
64The iport will not be created if the name is already in use.
65While names generally are based on unit addresses, they may be synthetic
66names.
67.Sh CONTEXT
68The
69.Fn scsi_hba_iport_register
70function is generally called during the
71.Xr attach 9E
72entry point and may be called from
73.Sy user
74or
75.Sy kernel
76context.
77.Sh RETURN VALUES
78Upon successful completion, the
79.Fn scsi_hba_iport_register
80function returns
81.Dv DDI_SUCCESS .
82Otherwise,
83.Dv DDI_FAILURE
84is returned.
