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

Menu Interface

To open the menu interface, issue the following command:

#./ql-lun-state-online.sh –interactive

If no offline LUNs are found, the menu interface does not start, the utility informs you that no offline LUNs were found, and the utility closes.

If offline LUNs are found, the utility main menu appears, as shown in the example in Figure 8-21.

Set Device Command Timeout Utility

This utility is a combination command line/menu interface that controls the time that the target device has to execute a command. Increasing the timeout value can improve performance under heavy I/O conditions, when target devices need more time to execute commands, resulting in the Linux SCSI mid-layer driver aborting fewer tasks. However, increasing the timeout value also delays the detection of devices that have gone offline.
