loop
No This variable controls the
Fibre Channel topology
expected by lpfc at boot time.
Fibre Channel offers
point-to-point, fabric, and
arbitrated loop topologies.To
make the adapter operate as
an N_Port, select point-to-
point mode (used for N_Port
to F_Port, and N_Port to
N_Port connections). To make
the adapter operate in a Fibre
Channel loop as an NL_Port,
select loop mode (used for
private loop and public loop
topologies). The driver will
reject an attempt to set the
topology to a value not in the
above list. The auto-topology
settings 0 and 6 will not work
unless the adapter is using
firmware version 3.20 or
higher.
use-adisc Controller
Specific 0 0=Off 1=On Yes This variable controls the ELS
command used for address
authentication during re-
discovery upon link-up.
If set, ADISC is used,
otherwise, PLOGI is used. For
FCP-2 devices, the driver will
always use ADISC.
For re-discovery due to a
RSCN, the driver will always
use ADISC.
xmt-que-size Controller
Specific 256 128 10,240 No This variable specifies the
number of network packets
that can be queued or
outstanding at any time in the
driver. Increase this setting for
better IP performance under
heavy loading.
