lun-queue-depth

Global

30

1

128

No

The driver uses this value as

 

 

 

 

 

 

the default limit for the number

 

 

 

 

 

 

of simultaneous commands to

 

 

 

 

 

 

issue to a single logical unit

 

 

 

 

 

 

on a single target on the loop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A single logical unit will never

 

 

 

 

 

 

be sent more commands than

 

 

 

 

 

 

allowed by lun-queue-depth;

 

 

 

 

 

 

however, less may be sent

 

 

 

 

 

 

when sd-max-throttle or

 

 

 

 

 

 

tgt-queue-depth is reached for

 

 

 

 

 

 

the entire target.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

msi-mode

Controller

2

0

2

No

This variable controls whether

 

Specific

 

 

 

 

LPFC uses MSI-based

 

 

 

 

 

 

interrupts or legacy interrupts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If set to 2 (default), the driver

 

 

 

 

 

 

will try to use multiple

 

 

 

 

 

 

message MSI. If multiple

 

 

 

 

 

 

message MSI is not possible

 

 

 

 

 

 

due to an OS or hardware

 

 

 

 

 

 

limitation, then the driver will

 

 

 

 

 

 

attempt single message MSI.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If single message MSI fails,

 

 

 

 

 

 

then the driver will attempt

 

 

 

 

 

 

legacy interrupts. A value of 0

 

 

 

 

 

 

disables MSI and the driver

 

 

 

 

 

 

will use legacy interrupts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

network-on

Controller

0

0

1

No

This variable controls whether

 

Specific

 

 

 

 

LPFC provides IP networking

 

 

 

 

 

 

functionality over FC. This

 

 

 

 

 

 

variable is a Boolean: when

 

 

 

 

 

 

zero, IP networking is

 

 

 

 

 

 

disabled; when non-zero, IP

 

 

 

 

 

 

networking is enabled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

no-device-delay

Global

1

0

30

Yes

This variable (0 to 30

 

 

 

 

 

 

seconds) determines the

 

 

 

 

 

 

length of the interval between

 

 

 

 

 

 

deciding to fail an I/O because

 

 

 

 

 

 

there is no way to

 

 

 

 

 

 

communicate with its

 

 

 

 

 

 

particular device (e.g., due to

 

 

 

 

 

 

device failure or device

 

 

 

 

 

 

removal) and actually failing

 

 

 

 

 

 

the command. A value of zero

 

 

 

 

 

 

implies no delay whatsoever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This delay is specified in

 

 

 

 

 

 

seconds. A minimum value of

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 (1 second) is recommended

 

 

 

 

 

 

when communicating with any

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tachyon based device.
