Table 8: Drive Parameters

Parameter

Description

 

 

AbortStatus = 0xn

Values from 0x00 – 0xFF. Controls NT SRB error status

 

for general Abort conditions.

 

Default = SRB_STATUS_BUS_RESET (0x0E) which will

 

not cause the current NT class driver to throttle down I/O

 

performance after four of these errors have been

 

received (on a per-LUN basis).

 

 

ALTOV = n

Values are in milliseconds from 1 to 15. Default = 15.

 

 

ARBTOV = n

Values are milliseconds from 500 to 10000. Default =

 

1000. Represents FC_AL arbitration time-out prior to LIP.

 

 

Class = n

Values from 0 to 2. Default = 2. Controls which Fibre

 

Channel Class will be used: 0 = Class 1, 1 = Class 2, 2 =

 

Class 3.

 

 

EDTOV = n

Values are in milliseconds from 500 to 10000. Default =

 

1000. Represents error detect time-out value prior to LIP.

 

 

EnableDPC = n

Values 0 or 1. Default = 0. 0 = process I/O completion at

 

interrupt level, 1 = process at DPC level.

 

 

FrameSizeMSB = n

Values from 1 – 8. Default = 8. Controls the upper byte of

 

the receive FrameSize if issued in PLOGI. This allows the

 

FrameSize be constrained on 256 byte increments from

 

256 (1) – 2048 (8).

 

 

HardALPA = 0xn

Values from 0x01 – 0xEF. Default = 0x01 allows the HBA

 

use a hard assigned loop address. NOTE: Only valid

 

ALPAs can be used (see Table 9 on page 44).

 

 

LinkTimeOut = n

Values are in seconds from 1 – 500. Default = 60.

 

Controls the time-out at which link no longer busy with

 

requests but issues SELECTION_TIMEOUT error status.

 

 

LogErrors = n

Values 0 or 1. Default = 0. 0 = don’t log general

 

HBA/drive errors. 1 = use Event Log to log general

 

errors.

 

 

NodeTimeOut = n

Values are in seconds from 1–255.

 

Default = 10. Controls the time-out at which a formerly

 

logged-in node will issue SELECTION_TIMEOUT error

 

status to an I/O request.
