/EXCLUDE
or
/X Disables a host adapter so that it is not seen by the SDMS OS/2 device drivers.
This allows a host adapter to be ignored without physically removing the board
from the system. This may be necessary if the adapter in question is causing a
resource conflict.
Note: If you exclude the adapter to which the boot device is attached, then you
will not be able to boot.
Syntax: /EXCLUDE[,]*
where:
chip is a unique identifier that indicates the LSI Logic board type. The Verbose
option displays a table with this value appearing in the CHIP column.
bus represents the PCI bus number into which the adapter is plugged. The
Verbose option displays a table with this value appearing in the BUS column.
dev/func is the number derived by combining the PCI device and function
numbers and functions as a unique board identifier in conjunction with the PCI
bus. The Verbose option displays a table with this hexadecimal value appearing
in the DEV/FUNC column. It may contain an A, B, C, D, E, or F as part of its
value.
To exclude a host adapter with chip type F, PCI bus number 0 and dev/func
number A0, the line in the
CONFIG.SYS file that loads SYM8XX.ADD should look
like this:
BASEDEV=SYM8XX.ADD / EXCLUDE
or
BASEDEV=SYM8XX.ADD /X
