IMPORTANT
Future use of the firmware NVRAM file to apply settings will
overwrite and possibly invalidate the changes made above. If you
will later update using a firmware NVRAM file, be sure it is listed
and supports this CX200 series direct-connect cluster configuration.
Note: To restore EMC default adapter settings, either reload the approved
EMC NVRAM file, or return to step 5 and ensure Adapter Hard Loop ID is
set to Disabled.
