Storport Miniport Driver Parameters

The parameter values listed in Table 1 are applicable to driver version 2.00 or later. If you are using a version previous to 2.00, see the Storport Miniport Driver User Manual for parameter information.

Activation Requirements

A parameter has one of the following activation requirements:

Dynamic - The change takes effect while the system is running.

Reset - Requires an HBA reset from the utility before the change takes effect.

Reboot - Requires reboot of the entire machine before the change effect. In this case, you are prompted to do reboot when you exit the utility.

The Driver Parameter table provides information such as the allowable range of values and factory defaults. Parameters can be entered in decimal or hexadecimal format.

Note: If you are creating custom unattended installation scripts, any driver parameter can be modified and included in the script.

Most parameters default to a setting that optimizes HBA performance.

AutoMap=n

AutoMap controls the way targets are assigned SCSI IDs. Discovered

Reboot

 

targets are assigned persistent SCSI IDs according to the selected

 

 

binding method. Persistent bindings do not take effect with the driver

 

 

in stand-alone mode.

 

 

If set to 0 = automap is disabled. Uses the HBAnyware utility to

 

 

persistently set the SCSI address of a discovered FCP capable FC

 

 

node (target).

 

 

If set to 1 = automap by WWNN.

 

 

If set to 2 = automap by WWPN.

 

 

If set to 3 = automap by DID).

 

 

Value: 0 - 3

 

 

Default = 2

 

 

 

 

Class=n

Class selects the class of service on FCP commands.

Dynamic

 

If set to 2, class = 2.

 

 

If set to 3, class = 3.

 

 

Value: 2 - 3

 

 

Default = 3

 

 

 

 

CoalesceMsCnt=n

CoalesceMsCn specifies wait time in milliseconds to generate an

Reset

 

interrupt response if CoalesceRspCnt has not been satisfied. Zero

 

 

specifies an immediate interrupt response notification. A non-zero

 

 

value enables response coalescing at the specified interval in

 

 

milliseconds.

 

 

Value: 0 - 63 (decimal) or 0x0 - 0x3F (hex)

 

 

Default = 0 (0x0)
