What is "hba0-enable-adapter-hard-loop-ID" and hba0-adapter-hard-loop 1

[vptl]

Hello,

I found these two lines in my sample qla2200.conf. Can you please explain what are they and why they are there ?


/kernel/drv/qla2200.conf:hba0-enable-adapter-hard-loop-ID=0;
/kernel/drv/qla2200.conf:hba0-adapter-hard-loop-ID=0;

Thanks.,
V.

By the way, this is used in FC-AL configs, not fabric.
