HP nPartitions (nPars) manual Setmode

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 HBARAID mode

Syntax

saupdate set_mode <controller> <hbaraid> [-f]

<controller> can be any one of the strings listed in Table 14 (page 125).

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 unintentional change of mode does not happen.

The –foption indicates the user is aware of the changes that are being made and there is not need of a warning message or a confirmation regarding the mode change.
