Driver Parameters
ALPA (Arbitrated Loop Port Address)
This parameter selects the AL_PA that the adapter requests during the loop
initialization. The AL_PA selected has to be a valid value; the default of 17 (hex) is
compatible with previous drivers. The following is the list of all possible AL_PAs. FC
disks typically use values at the high end of the list, and host adapters at the low end.

HARD_ADDRESS_MODE
Boolean parameter: 0 = not selected, 1 = selected. Default is
HARD_ADDRESS_MODE = 0;
If HARD_ADDRESS_MODE is not selected (the default), whenever devices are
discovered/rediscovered (such as after cable disconnect/connect or drive
removal/insertion) the World Wide Port Name and the World Wide Node Name of the
device are compared to verify that the same device is present as was previously there.
If HARD_ADDRESS_MODE is selected, no checking is performed to verify that a
device discovered at one Fibre Channel address is the same as the one previously
found there. HARD_ADDRESS_MODE is used for certain dual−channel RAID arrays
where you do not have the option of retaining the World Wide Port Name and the World
Wide Node Name of the controller when replacing the controller. Using it for any other
situation may cause I/O to be sent to the new device when it shouldn't be.
