fdmi-on

Global

0

0

2

No

This driver property controls

 

 

 

 

 

 

the FDMI capability of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

LPFC driver. If set to 0

 

 

 

 

 

 

(default), FDMI is disabled. A

 

 

 

 

 

 

value of 1 enables FDMI

 

 

 

 

 

 

without registration of host

 

 

 

 

 

 

name port attribute, while a

 

 

 

 

 

 

value of 2 enables FDMI with

 

 

 

 

 

 

registration of host name port

 

 

 

 

 

 

attribute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ip-class

Controller

3

2

2

Yes

FC is capable of transmitting

 

Specific

 

 

 

 

IP data in Class2 or Class 3.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The LPFC driver defaults to

 

 

 

 

 

 

using Class 3 transmission.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

link-speed

Controller

0

0=auto select

No

Sets link speed.

 

Specific

 

1=1G

 

 

 

 

 

 

2=2G

 

 

 

 

 

 

4=4G

 

 

 

 

 

 

8=8G

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

linkdown-tmo

Controller

30

0

255

Yes

This variable controls how

 

Specific

 

 

 

 

long the driver will hold I/O

 

 

 

 

 

 

(0 - 255 seconds) after the link

 

 

 

 

 

 

becomes inaccessible. When

 

 

 

 

 

 

this timer expires, all I/O

 

 

 

 

 

 

waiting to be serviced is

 

 

 

 

 

 

aborted. For instance, FCP

 

 

 

 

 

 

commands will be returned

 

 

 

 

 

 

back to the target driver with a

 

 

 

 

 

 

failure. The lower the value,

 

 

 

 

 

 

the quicker the driver will fail

 

 

 

 

 

 

commands back to the upper

 

 

 

 

 

 

levels. There is a trade-off

 

 

 

 

 

 

here: small values risk

 

 

 

 

 

 

retrying the commands when

 

 

 

 

 

 

the link is bouncing; large

 

 

 

 

 

 

values risk delaying the

 

 

 

 

 

 

failover in a fault tolerant

 

 

 

 

 

 

environment. linkdown-tmo

 

 

 

 

 

 

works in conjunction with

 

 

 

 

 

 

nodev-tmo. I/O will fail when

 

 

 

 

 

 

either of the two timers

 

 

 

 

 

 

expires.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

log-only

Controller

1

0

1

Yes

When set to 1, log messages

 

Specific

 

 

 

 

are only logged to syslog.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When set to 0, log messages

 

 

 

 

 

 

are also printed on the

 

 

 

 

 

 

console.
