Adapter Installed in Itanium®-Based System

If the HP A6828A HBA is installed in a supported Itanium®-based system, use the following procedure to set maximum data transfer rate:

Step 1. At the EFI Shell prompt, issue the drivers command as illustrated in the following example:

Step 2. Find the driver handle designation <drvr_handle>.

For the A6828A HBA, the <drvr_ handle> designation will be in the DRV column that corresponds to the LSI Logic Ultra160 SCSI Driver listing in the DRIVER NAME column.

In the preceding example, there are two versions of the LSI Logic Ultra160 SCSI Driver. The <drvr_handle> designations that correspond to the two LSI Logic Ultra SCSI Drivers are 20 and 21.

Step 3. Find the controller handle designation, <cntrl_handle>.

At the EFI Shell prompt, issue the drvcfg command as illustrated in the following example:
