Parameter

Definitions

Activation

Requirement

 

 

 

 

 

LogErrors=n

LogErrors determine the minimum severity level required to enable

Dynamic

 

entry of a logged error into the system event log. Errors are classified

 

 

as severe, malfunction or command level. A severe error requires

 

 

user intervention to correct a firmware or HBA problem. An invalid link

 

 

speed selection is an example of a severe error. A malfunction error

 

 

indicates that the system has problems, but user intervention is not

 

 

required. An invalid fabric command type is an example of a

 

 

malfunction error. A command level error: an object allocation failure

 

 

is an example of a command error.

 

 

If set to 0, all errors regardless of severity are logged.

 

 

If set to 1, command level errors are logged.

 

 

If set to 2, malfunction errors are logged.

 

 

If set to 3, severe errors are logged.

 

 

Value: 0 - 3

 

 

Default = 3

 

 

 

 

NetworkOption=n

NetworkOption controls whether IP over FC is disabled or enabled.

 

 

A value of 1 will enable IP over FC and will allow first time installation

 

 

or startup of the FC LAN driver.

 

 

Value: 0 - 1

 

 

Default = 0

 

 

 

 

NodeTimeout=n

The node timer starts when a node (i.e. discovered target or initiator)

Dynamic

 

becomes unavailable. If the node fails to become available before the

 

 

NodeTimeout interval expires, the OS is notified so that any

 

 

associated devices (if the node is a target) can be removed. If the

 

 

node becomes available before NodeTimeout expires the timer is

 

 

canceled and no notification is made.

 

 

Value: 1 - 255 seconds or 0x0 - 0xFF (hex)

 

 

Default = 30 (0x1E)

 

 

 

 

QueueDepth=n

QueueDepth requests per LUN/target (see QueueTarget parameter).

Dynamic

 

If you expect the number of outstanding I/Os per device to exceed 32,

 

 

then you must increase to a value greater than the number of

 

 

expected I/Os per device (up to a value of 254). If the QueueDepth

 

 

value is set too low, a performance degradation can occur due to

 

 

driver throttling of its device queue.

 

 

Value: 1 - 254 or 0x1 - 0xFE (hex)

 

 

Default = 32 (0x20)

 

 

 

 

QueueTarget=n

QueueTarget controls I/O depth limiting on a per target or per LUN

Dynamic

 

basis.

 

 

If set to 0 = depth limitation is applied to individual LUNs.

 

 

If set to 1 = depth limitation is applied across the entire target.

 

 

Value: 0 -1 or 0x0 - 0x1 (hex)

 

 

Default = 0 (0x0)
