NOTE:
To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet network. If the DHCP
feature is used when there is not DHCP server, the standard for DHCP requires the interface card wait three
minutes for a response from a DHCP server before timing out.
Some DHCP servers allow an extended lease reservation to be set up for an IP address by providing
the server with the Ethernet MAC address. The DHCP server always provides the same IP address to the
interface card. This setup can be useful for remote management of the interface card via Telnet or VM.
Because the method of setting up an extended lease reservation varies, depending on the DHCP server
being used. Contact the Network Administrator for assistance.

ServerFree Backup Mode:
Number of Controller LUNs: (default: 1) sets the number of controller LUNs reported by the interface
card. The number must be in the range of 0 through 4.
Controller LUNS in auto-assigned map go: settings are First or Last. Setting the choice to Last is
recommended. Setting the choice to First can cause issues with HP-UX. However, if working with an
OVMS host, it should be set to First.
