To change the mode of the controller use saupdate set_mode <controller> <hba |
raid> [-f].
NOTE: A system reset or a reconnect-r is required after changing from HBA to RAID mode.
An alert message about the possible data loss is displayed when a mode change command is
issued. A confirmation is required before the actual mode change is made. This ensures unintentional
change of mode does not happen.
The –f option indicates the user is aware of the changes that are being made and there is not need
of a warning message or a confirmation regarding the mode change.

required when changing from HBA mode to RAID mode.
