to allocate. These buffers

 

 

 

 

are used for Fibre Channel

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

adapter, then you should

 

 

 

 

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.
