Driver Parameter

Description

 

 

ql2xplogiabsentdevice

Enables (1) or disables (0) PLOGI (port login) to

 

devices that are not present after a fabric scan.

 

Enabling this parameter is required to work around

 

some Fibre Channel switch defects. The default is 0.

 

 

ql2xqfullrampup

Number of seconds to wait before increasing the

 

queue depth for a device after a queue-full condition

 

has been detected. The default is 120 seconds.

 

 

ql2xusedefmaxrdreq

PCIe maximum read request size. Adjust the PCIe

 

maximum read request size (0); use system default

 

(1). The default 0.

 

 

ql2xusedrivernaming

Enables (1) or disables (0) the consistent device nam-

 

ing feature. The default is 0.

 

 

qlport_down_retry

Maximum number of command retries for a port that

 

returns PORT-DOWNstatus. This parameter deter-

 

mines how long the driver internally queues I/O before

 

returning the DID_NO_CONNECT status to the SCSI

 

mid layer. Multiply this parameter by two to determine

 

the number of seconds that the driver holds the I/O

 

request. Default is 15.
