8–Configuring FCoE in a Linux Environment Configuring FCoE Parameters Using QLogic Utilities

Table 8-2. FCoE Driver Parameters that can be Modified with Sysfs

Sysfs Location

Driver Parameters

 

 

/sys/module/qla2xxx/parameters

ql2xmaxqdepth

 

ql2xplogiabsentdevice

 

ql2xqfullrampup

 

ql2xqfulltracking

 

 

/sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/

zio (operation mode)

 

zio_timer (interrupt delay timer)

 

 

To modify FCoE driver parameters using sysfs:

1.Change to the sysfs location where the driver parameter resides by issuing the following command:

#cd /sys/module/qla2xxx/parameters

2.Modify the sysfs entry for the corresponding driver parameter. The following example sets the maximum queue depth to 64:

#echo 64 > ql2xmaxqdepth

3.Verify the changes. The following example should report 64, if the previous command was successful.

#cat /sys/module/qla2xxx/parameters/ ql2xmaxqdepth

Configuring FCoE Parameters Using QLogic Utilities

Table 8-3describes some of the features and characteristics of the QLogic QConvergeConsole and Fast!Util utilities. These utilities manage the QLogic 8100 Series Adapters in a Linux environment.
