to allocate. These buffers

 

 

 

 

are used for FC Extended

 

 

 

 

Link Services (ELS) and one

 

 

 

 

for each FCP command

 

 

 

 

issued in SLI-2 mode. If you

 

 

 

 

want to queue lots of FCP

 

 

 

 

commands to the HBA, then

 

 

 

 

increase num-bufs for better

 

 

 

 

performance. These buffers

 

 

 

 

consume physical memory

 

 

 

 

and are also used by the

 

 

 

 

device driver to process loop

 

 

 

 

initialization and rediscovery

 

 

 

 

activities. Important: The

 

 

 

 

driver must always be

 

 

 

 

configured with at least

 

 

 

 

several dozen ELS

 

 

 

 

command buffers; Emulex

 

 

 

 

recommends at least 128.
