<model>

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 1 (page 20).

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 that an

unintentional change of mode does not happen.

The –f indicates the user is aware of the changes that are being made, and no warning message

or confirmation regarding the mode change is needed.
