lpfc_discovery_threads

32

1

64

Specifies the maximum

No

 

 

 

 

number of ELS commands

 

 

 

 

 

that can be outstanding for

 

 

 

 

 

a discovery.

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: The

 

 

 

 

 

discovery_threads

 

 

 

 

 

parameter will default to a

 

 

 

 

 

value of 64 for private loop

 

 

 

 

 

topologies regardless of the

 

 

 

 

 

configured value. If there

 

 

 

 

 

are multiple ports

 

 

 

 

 

configured on the host the

 

 

 

 

 

value of 64 will only be

 

 

 

 

 

used for those ports that

 

 

 

 

 

are connected in a private

 

 

 

 

 

loop topology. The

 

 

 

 

 

configured value will be

 

 

 

 

 

used for all other ports.

defaults to off (0) which

 

 

 

 

 

prevents the driver from

 

 

 

 

 

creating any virtual ports.

 

 

 

 

 

When enabled (set to 1) it

 

 

 

 

 

enables you to create and

 

 

 

 

 

delete virtual ports (if

 

 

 

 

 

supported by the fabric).
