Modify Diagnostic Driver Parameters in the Windows Registry

This screen provides information about device driver parameters that are maintained in the Windows registry and allows you to modify those values.

Caution: Do not modify the registry parameters unless specifically instructed to do so by support personnel. Modifying registry parameters can result in an unstable SAN.

The data display lists all available device driver parameters, along with the current, minimum, maximum, and default values. Parameters that have their value specified in the system registry are denoted with either a G or an L in the left-most column of the screen. The G indicates that the value is set in the global registry entry, which applies to all HBAs that do not have a local registry entry. The L indicates that the value is set in a registry entry specific to the selected HBA, which overrides the value settings in the global entry.

Modify the Driver Parameters

From the LightPulse Utility Main menu screen:

1.Choose the desired HBA.

2.Expand the category list and choose Driver Parameters.

3.Double-click a Parameter Name.

4.Enter the desired value in the New Value field.

5.Choose the Permanent or Global checkbox:

■Choose Permanent to cause the new value to be written to the system registry. If Permanent is not selected, the parameter reverts to its default value when the driver is reset.

■Choose Global to change the global registry entry. Otherwise, the change is made to the HBA-specific registry entry.
