Example:
BASEDEV=CPQARRAY.ADD /V
3. /A:[adapter index] [unit parameters]
This command line switch is a standard command line switch that
causes the driver to modify its behavior towards adapters.
Where [adapter index] = The adapter index is a number used to identify
a controller. The index is based on ‘0’ for the lowest controller order
number associated with the adapter controlled by this ADD. The index
is incremented by one for each controller in the system as you move up
the controller configuration order.
Example: A system that has three adapters that are controlled by the
CPQARRAY.ADD, with the lowest configured adapter being the
secondary controller.

[unit parameters] This ADD only supports the /I parameter, to ignore a
controller. The following unit parameter is available:
4. /I Ignore the specified adapter; do not control the adapter with this
driver. This parameter prevents the ADD driver from recognizing the
specified adapter. Use this parameter when you intend to allow another
driver to control a specific adapter.
CAUTION: Be careful not to ignore the primary controller, or boot
controller, because this would cause the system to be unable to boot.
Example: You are running NetWare on your OS/2 2.x system and you
want a NetWare NLM to control adapter 2 instead of the ADD driver.
The following statement would prevent the ADD driver from claiming
adapter 2.
BASEDEV=CPQARRAY.ADD /A:2 /I
