Table 1: Storport Miniport Driver Parameters (Continued)

Parameter

Definitions

Activation

Requirement

 

 

 

 

 

HardALPA=0xn

HardALPA allows the HBA to use a hard assigned loop address.

Reset

 

Value: 0x00 - 0xEF (hex)

 

 

Default = 0x00 (use soft addressing, or flash stored hard address

 

 

value)

 

 

Note: Only valid AL_PAs may be used.

 

 

 

 

InitTimeout=n

Determines the number of time-out seconds during driver initialization

Reboot

 

for the link to come up. If the link fails to come up by InitTmeout, driver

 

 

initialization exits but is still successful. If the link comes up before

 

 

InitTimeout, the driver sets double the amount for discovery to

 

 

complete.

 

 

Value: 5 -30 seconds or 0x5 - 0x1E (hex)

 

 

Default = 15 seconds (0xF)

 

 

 

 

LinkSpeed=n

LinkSpeed has significance only if the HBA supports speeds other

Reset

 

than one Gbit.

 

 

If set to 0 = auto link speed detection.

 

 

If set to 1 = 1 Gbit.

 

 

If set to 2 = 2 Gbit.

 

 

If set to 4 = 4 Gbit.

 

 

If set to 8 = 8 Gbit.

 

 

Value: 0, 1, 2, 4 and 8

 

 

Default = 0

 

 

Note: Setting this option incorrectly may cause the HBA to fail to

 

 

initialize.

 

 

 

 

LinkTimeOut=n

LinkTimeOut applies to private loop only. A timer is started on all

Dynamic

 

mapped targets using the link timeout value. If the timer expires

 

 

before discovery is re-resolved, commands issued to timed out

 

 

devices will end up returning a SELECTIION_TIMEOUT. The Storport

 

 

driver will also be notified of a Bus change event which will lead to the

 

 

removal of all LUNs on the timed out devices.

 

 

Value: 1 - 500 seconds or 0x0 - 0xFE (hex)

 

 

Default = 30 (0x1E)
