| 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. |

| 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. |

 | 
 | 
| 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  | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | here: small values risk | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | retrying the commands when | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | the link is bouncing; large | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | values risk delaying the | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | failover in a fault tolerant | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | environment.  | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | works in conjunction with | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | either of the two timers |

 | are only logged to syslog. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | When set to 0, log messages | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 |
