-.sp
-The first option is a bit mask of units for which you want to enable full
-duplex mode.
-This typically would only make sense if fabric support is
-enabled and you are directly connected to a switch.
-The second defines whether Fibre Channel Fabric support should be enabled.
-The third defines whether whether the first level SCC lun support should
-be enabled- this converts the normal 16 Logical Unit support to support for
-65536 Logical Units.
-The last option should be a string that defines an
-overriding World Wide Node Name (WWNN) should you wish to override NVRAM
-settings.
-It is recommended that you compile in firmware if you select
-any of these options.
