4. To enable or disable the BIOS, click Enable. The button title changes from Enable to Disable.
If you are updating x86 BootBIOS, you must also enable the HBA to boot from SAN using the
BIOS utility; see the documentation that accompanies the boot code for more information.
Setting Driver Parameters
The Driver Parameters tab and Host Driver Parameter tab enable you to modify driver parameters for a
specific HBA or all HBAs in a host.
For example, if you select a host in the discovery-tree, you can globally change the parameters for all
HBAs in that host. If you select an HBA in the discovery-tree, you can change the lpfc_use_adisc,
lpfc_log_verbose and the lpfc_nodev_tmo parameters for only that HBA.
For each parameter, the Driver Parameters tab and Host Driver Parameters tab shows the current value,
the range of acceptable values, the default value, and whether the parameter is dynamic (a dynamic
parameter allows the change to take effect without restarting the HBA or rebooting the system). You can
make parameter changes persistent after a reboot of the system. You can also restore parameters to their
default settings.
You can also apply driver parameters for one HBA to other HBAs in the system using the Driver
Parameters tab. When you define parameters for an HBA, you create a .dpv file. The .dpv file contains
the parameters for that HBA. After you create the .dpv file, the HBAnyware utility enables you to apply
the .dpv file parameters to multiple HBAs in the system, thereby simplifying multiple HBA configuration.
See
Creating the Batch Mode Driver Parameters File on page 64 for more information.
Note: The HBAnyware utility enables you to make dynamic parameter changes with any
version of Solaris. However, changes made by editing the lpfc.conf file and issuing an
update_drv command are only dynamic for Solaris 9 and later.
