How to configure a FC HBA in "initiator mode"?

Hi all,
I have a p520 machine running 5.2ML9 with a 2Gb FC HBA from IBM, i.e.

# lscfg -vl fcs0
fcs0 U787A.001.DNZ06YM-P1-C3-T1 FC Adapter

Part Number.................80P4543
EC Level....................A
Serial Number...............1F4270A0B6
Manufacturer................001F

Our network administrator is trying to get the host to see some shared storage on our SAN, but reports that the switch sees the host as "UNKNOWN", and states that the HBA needs to be in "initiator mode". However, going into SMIT, I can't see obvious configuration options to use.

The device is seen as "AVAILABLE" as per lsdev -C. Has anyone any idea how this mode should be configured?

Many thanks,
Bookie
