Creating the Batch Mode Driver Parameters File
You can 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.
To create the .dpv file:
1. Start the HBAnyware utility.
2. Select the HBA whose parameters you want to apply to other HBAs from the discovery-tree.
3. Select the Driver Parameters tab. Set driver parameters (see Figure 24 on page 61).
4. After you define the parameters for the selected HBA, click Save Settings. The Select Driver
Parameter File dialog box appears. Use the dialog box to select where to save the file or to
rename the file. Click Save. The Save Driver Parameters dialog box appears.

5. The two radio buttons allow you to choose the type of parameters to save. You can save all
parameters or only those parameters whose current values differ from their corresponding
default values.
6. A list of the saved parameters and their current values show in the Saved Parameters box.
7. Click Save.
Assigning Batch Mode Parameters to HBAs
After you create the batch mode parameters (.dpv) file, you can assign its parameters to multiple HBAs.
Assigning batch mode parameters make it easy to configure multiple HBAs. See
Creating the Batch Mode
Driver Parameters File
on page 64 to learn how to create the .dpv file.
To assign batch mode parameters to HBAs:
1. Start the HBAnyware utility.
2. From the HBAnyware utility menu, click Batch and select Update Driver Parameters. (You do
not need to select any discovery-tree elements at this time.) The Select Driver Parameter File
dialog box appears.
