This is the only way to set the Preferred Loop ID for most fourth generation controllers that do not contain a hardware switch on the back of the controller enclosure. In addition, you can override or extend the hardware switch settings for fourth generation controllers that do contain a switch.
Important: This option is grayed out until you select a fibre channel host interface in the Host Interfaces table of the Controller Properties dialog.
