SANsurfer FC HBA Manager Readme Page 10 of 13
When the qla_mp_config_required flag is set to 0, the driver reports both persistently-
bound and new targets to the OS. This is equivalent to persistent plus new.
NOTE: After saving the qla_mp_config_required parameter to the configuration file, the
driver ignores the old English-style persistent binding entries. For example:
hba<#>-SCSI-target-id-<#>-fibre-channel
-port-name="<device WWPN>";
