set_mode
IMPORTANT: If you are using HBA mode, do not install any disk that has previously been a part
of a RAID volume into the system.
Use set_mode to change the mode of the controller. If the controller is already in the required
mode the following message appears:
The controller at <seg:bus:dev:func> is already in HBA|RAID mode
Syntax
saupdate set_mode <controller> <hba|raid> [-f]
<controller> can be any one of the strings listed in Table 14 (page 125).
An alert message about the possible data loss is displayed when a mode change command is
issued. A confirmation is required before the actual mode change is made. This ensures unintentional
change of mode does not happen.
The f option indicates the user is aware of the changes that are being made and there is not
need of a warning message or a confirmation regarding the mode change.
