ADD ADAPTER Command
AUTOFIRMUP { ON | OFF }
specifies whether the SAC automatically downloads the firmware prior to
downloading the operation code. The firmware is downloaded if the version of the
firmware file is newer than the firmware version on the adapter. The AUTOFIRMUP
option does not apply to MFIOB adapters. The default is ON.
AUTOSTART { ON | OFF }
specifies whether the SAC and its subordinated PIFs automatically start after a
system cold start. The default is ON.
DLFILENAME file-spec
specifies the name of the file that should contain the application microcode to be
downloaded to the subordinated SACs when the SACs are started. This option
does not apply to the MFIOB. The default is listed below.
DUMPFILENAME file-spec
specifies the name of the file in which dump information from the adapter is stored.
Specify the numbers 00 for the last two characters of the file name. 00 allows the
file name to be incremented if more than one dump file is needed. The
DUMPFILENAME option does not apply to the MFIOB. The default is listed below.
FIRMWAREFILENAME file-spec
specifies the name of the file that contains the adapter firmware microcode to be
downloaded to the SAC. This option does not apply to the MFIOB. The default is
listed below.
Considerations

If the AUTODUMP attribute is set to EXTENDED, the dump size will be
approximately 128 megabytes, which is much larger than the 64 megabyte dump
size when AUTODUMP is selected with a setting of ON. The EXTENDED attribute
is supported for G4SAs only.

The ADAPTER object is not started when you use the ADD ADAPTER command
to add the object to the subsystem and the ADAPTER object remains in the
STOPPED state until a START ADAPTER command is issued. The subordinate
SACs and PIFs also are in the STOPPED state and must be started.

The specified ADAPTER name must be unique and not in use by any existing
adapter objects. The name must be from one to eight alphanumeric characters
long and use a leading alphabetic character.

A TYPE, LOCATION, and ACCESSLIST must be specified.
