Warning:
Please update the HBA parameters with extreme care.
Incorrectly updating the HBA parameters may render the HBA inoperable.
If you currently have boot device information set up in the HBA
parameters, updating the HBA parameters from a file may result in
changing that information.
If you wish to preserve the boot device information, please either
update the file with the correct boot device settings before the
HBA parameters update or re-configure the boot settings after
the update.
Do you want to proceed with the operation?

HBA Parameters Template (Per Adapter or All HBAs)
(Command Line Option -n and OEM Name)
10: Utilities 5: HBA Parameters Template
Use templates to set OEM-specific storage qualified adapter parameters to a
pre-determined value without using a specific DAT/DEF file for each adapter type
that you might be using.
The following ISP2422/2432 parameters are subject to the template feature:
Execution Throttle specifies the maximum number of commands executing
on any one port. When a port’s execution throttle is reached, no new
commands are executed until the current command finishes executing.
Descending Loop ID Search specifies in what order the firmware assigns
the AL_PA (ArbitratedLoop_PhysicalAddress). The firmware searches all
the nodes in a loop topology and assigns the AL_PA in a descending order if
you select 0, ascending order if you select 1.
