The Driver Parameters tab allows you to modify driver parameters either
for an individual adapter or for all adapters, with the same single driver
type and version, that are in one host.
For example, if you set driver parameters on a host that includes two
adapters with the SCSIport Miniport driver installed, you can make changes
to the driver parameters for both adapters simultaneously using the Host
Driver Parameters tab.
For each parameter, the tab displays the current value, the range of
acceptable values, the default value, and whether the parameter is dynamic
(a dynamic parameter allows the change to take effect without restarting
the HBA or rebooting the system).
This page contains instructions for the following:
View Driver Parameters for an Adapter View Driver Parameters for a Host Change a Parameter's Value Restore Parameters to Their Earlier Values Reset All Default Values
View Driver Parameters for an Adapter
To display the driver parameters for an adapter, do the following:
Start HBAnyware. -
Do one of the following:
From the menu bar, click View, then click
Sort by Host Name. From the toolbar, click the  button.
In the discovery tree, click the adapter for which
you want to change a parameter. The General tab is displayed. -
Click the Driver Parameters tab. The Installed Driver Types field
displays the driver that is installed on the adapter.
| Note |
The illustration above is an example.
The driver parameters you see may be different, depending on the installed
driver. |
View Driver Parameters for a Host
| Note |
Use
the Host Driver Parameters tab to set driver parameters on a host
with more than one adapter. |
To display the driver parameters for a host, do the following:
Start HBAnyware. -
Do one of the following:
From the menu bar, click View, then click
Sort by Host Name. From the toolbar, click the button.
In the discovery tree, click the host for which
you want to change a parameter. The Host Attributes tab is displayed. -
Click the Host Driver Parameters tab. The Installed Driver Types
drop-down box displays a list of all driver types and driver versions
that are installed on the adapters in the host. Click the driver for which
you want to make changes.

The illustration above is an example.
The driver parameters you see may be different, depending on the installed
driver. |
Change a Parameter's Value
After you follow the appropriate procedure to display the host or adapter
parameter tab, do the following to change a parameter's value:
In the driver parameters tab, click the parameter
that you want to change. A description of the parameter appears on the
right side of the screen. Enter a new value in the Value field. You must
enter values in decimal or hexadecimal format, depending on how the current
value is presented. If the value is in hexadecimal format, it is prefaced
by "0x", for example 0x2d, and if you change the value you must
enter it in hexadecimal format. If you want the change to be temporary (causing
the parameter to revert to its last permanent setting when the system
is rebooted), check the "Make change temporary" box. This option
is available only for dynamic parameters. If you are making changes to multiple parameters,
and you want all the changes to be temporary, check the "Make all
changes temporary" box. This setting overrides the setting of the
"Make change temporary" box. Only dynamic parameters can be
made temporary. To apply your changes, click Apply.
Restore All Parameters to Their Earlier Values
If you have made changes to parameters and have not saved them by clicking
Apply, and you want to restore the parameters to their last saved values,
click Restore.
Reset All Default Values
If you want to reset all parameter values to their default (out-of-box)
values, click Defaults.
