HP Smart Array P410i controller - change mode from RAID to HBA mode

This is the easiest way I found to do this on i2 (and maybe i4/i6) bl860c i2 blades:

launch the efi shell

drivers

# in first column, find the driver that corresponds to Smart Array SAS Driver

# in my case it was A3

devices

# in first column, find the device, Smart Array P420i Controller

# in my case it was A1

drvcfg -s a3 a1

sometimes you get a "drvcfg: Driver image handle [A3] does not support Driver Configuration Protocol"

that is most likely the version of the EFI driver, v3.54 supports this, but at least v3.50 does not

ftp issue HPUX to windows

if you are transferring file from HPUX to windows and you get this error:
ftp R:ICMP port unreachable

the transfer says complete, but the file does not show up in windows.

it's likely the file you're transferring contains a colon (common with ignite archive image) or other character(s) that are permissible in Unix, but not windows
