protocol modes (FC only, CNA) is associated with each universal HBA configuration. After
you configure the universal HBA into one of the valid configuration options described in
“Universal HBA Features and Specifications” on page 11
, you must verify that the correct
operating protocol mode is associated with the new universal HBA configuration.
If the correct operating protocol mode is associated with the current configuration of the
universal HBA, you do not need to perform any further steps. Otherwise, you must manually
change the operating protocol mode on the system to the correct mode.
To determine and change the operating protocol mode associated with your universal HBA
configuration, use one of the following tools:
