Fibre Channel Device Scanning Policy Configuration for HP Integrity
Systems
The drvcfg utility is an EFI shell command that can be used to set the Device Scanning Policy in the Fibre
Channel EFI driver.
The -s option for the drvcfg utility provides two enumeration policy options for Fibre Channel: 0 and 1. With
this setting, the Fibre Channel driver only scans devices that are in the current boot order list in NVRAM. If
option 1 is selected, the Fibre Channel driver scans all the devices connected to the Fibre Channel cards
installed on the system. Review the EFIFCScanLevel setting in the drvcfg utility for more information.
NOTE When the setboot command is invoked on a device, that device is added implicitly to the boot
order list as a primary or alternate boot path. When HP-UX is cold installed on a device, that
device is automatically set as the primary path by the implicit invocation of setboot during
the installation process.
For more information on using the drvcfg utility, enter help drvcfg at the EFI shell prompt.
