6.10 Resetting Emulex Adapters to Their Default Values
NOTE: The following information pertains to resetting default values:
The reconnect feature is not applicable while configuring the Brocade FA-PWWN, configuring the Brocade Boot
LUN, and selecting trunking, as all these procedures require a system reboot.
Resetting the adapter to its default settings clears all entries made while configuring the boot device, as detailed
in Section 4.5, Configuring Boot Devices.
A system reboot is required after resetting an adapter to its default values.
Resetting the system defaults also clears the NVRAM target list and sets all FC and NVMe boot devices to 0.
Default settings are listed in Table 7.
