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

or

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.

12.4 Using the Command Line Options

The

LSI8XXNW.HAM

,

LSIHINW.HAM

, and

LSI_U3NW.HAM

drivers allows the

use of command line options for tuning purposes. A list of these options
is available below that include the default option along with a list of valid
options. Each option has a description of when to use it, the syntax used,
and any impact its use may have on the system.

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
on the load command line for the NWPA driver. For example, if the Wide
SCSI Option on the command line option is desired, the load command
line should look like this:

load LSI8XXNW.HAM wide=off
