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 HBARAID mode

Syntax

saupdate set_mode <controller> <hbaraid> [-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.
