Fast!UTIL

Selectable Boot Settings

This option enables you to select the node name from which you want to boot. Once enabled, this option forces the system to boot on the selected FC hard disk, ignoring any IDE hard disks attached to your system. If you disable this option, the system looks for a boot device (as selected in the system BIOS). In disabled mode, the Boot ID and Boot LUN parameters have no effect.

Some new system BIOS support selectable boot, which supersedes the Fast!UTIL selectable boot setting. To boot from an FC hard disk attached to the HBA, select the HBA Fibre Channel hard disk on the system BIOS.

Note: This option applies only to hard disks; it does not apply to tape drives and other nondisk devices.

Restore Default Settings

This option restores the HBA default settings.

Raw NVRAM Data

This option displays the adapter’s NVRAM contents in hexadecimal format. This is a troubleshooting tool; you cannot modify the data.

Advanced Adapter Settings

From the Configuration Settings menu in Fast!UTIL, select Advanced Adapter Settings. Table 7 lists the default settings for the HBA:
