12.3.4 Reconfiguring Driver Options
To reconfigure driver options, follow these steps:
Step 1.
Unload all instances of the driver by typing:
unload LSI8XXNW.HAM

unload LSIHINW.HAM
or
unload LSI_U3NW.HAM
Step 2.
Reload each instance of the driver with the desired option
settings by typing:
load LSI8XXNW.HAM slot=
or
load LSIHINW.HAM slot=
or
load LSI_U3NW.HAM slot=
Step 3.
Specify these options in the
STARTUP.NCF
file if the changes
you made to the load options are permanent and the driver is
loaded automatically at bootup.

If you specify an option but the assignment is not valid, then the system
uses the default value. To specify a value, place the option’s characters

SCSI Option on the command line option is desired, the load command
line should look like this:
load LSI8XXNW.HAM wide=off
