Emulex 3.4 user manual LPFC.conf Parameters

Table 3: LPFC.conf Parameters (Continued)

Property Name	Scope	Default	Min	Max	Dynamic	Comments
extra-io-tmo	Controller	0	0	255	Yes	Extra timeout value, in
	Specific					seconds, to be applied to
						each FCP command sent.
						When connecting through a
						large fabric, certain devices
						may require a longer timeout
						value.
fcp-bind-DID	Global	Inactive	N/A	N/A	No	Setup persistent FCP
						bindings based on a target
						device’s Port ID. This binding
						guarantees that target
						assignments will be preserved
						between reboots. The format
						for a bind entry is
						“NNNNNN:lpfcXtY” where
						NNNNNN is a 6 digit
						representation of the targets
						Port ID, X is the driver
						instance number and Y is the
						target assignment. Multiple
						entries must be separated by
						a comma (,) with the last entry
						terminated with a semi-colon
						(;). A sample entry follows:
						fcp-bind DID="0000ef:lpfc0t0";
						(all on one line.)
fcp-bind-method	Controller	2	1	4	No	Specifies the method of
	Specific					binding to be used. This
						binding method is used for
						persistent binding and
						automapped binding. A value
						of 1 will force WWNN binding,
						value of 2 will force WWPN
						binding and value of 3 will
						force DID binding. A fcp-bind-
						method value of 4 will cause
						target ID assignment in a
						private loop environment to be
						based on the ALPA array
						(hard addressed). If a binding
						method is not specified for a
						port, WWPN binding will be
						used. Any persistent binding
						whose method does not
						match with the bind method of
						the port will be ignored. A
						sample entry follows:
						lpfc0-fcp-bind-method=1;
						lpfc1-fcp-bind-method=2;
