1. Ensure that the HBAs are not connected to the SAN.
2. Invoke the nbftsrv_config -nbhba command and option. The computer enters nbhba mode. The following is an example; output on your system may differ:

   may take some time).
   The following driver aliases need to be removed:
   qlc "pci1077,2312.1077.10a"
   Would you like to run update_drv to remove these now? [y,n] (y)

3. Answer y to remove any driver aliases. The process continues as follows:

   /usr/sbin/update_drv -v -d -i "pci1077,2312.1077.10a" qlc
