Table 9-3. Advanced Settings Window Parameters

Parameter

Description

 

 

Execution Throttle

The maximum number of commands that can run on one

 

port. When the number of commands executing on a port

 

reaches the execution throttle value, no new commands can

 

be initiated until the current command finishes. This parame-

 

ter can be 1–65,535. The default is 65,535.

 

 

LUNs per Target

The maximum number of LUNs per Fibre Channel port or

 

FCoE target device. Multiple LUN support is typically for RAID

 

servers that map drives with LUNs. The default is 128.

 

 

Enable Target Reset

Enables or disables the adapter FCoE device drivers to issue

 

a Target Reset command to all devices on the loop when a

 

SCSI Bus Reset command is issued. The default is Yes.

 

 

Login Retry Count

The number of times that the software will try to log in to a

 

device. The default is 8.

 

 

Port Down Retry Count

The number of seconds that the software waits before resub-

 

mitting a command to a port that was down. The default is

 

30 seconds. When the QLogic adapter is connected to a stor-

 

age enclosure with a large number of drives, this parameter

 

can be increased. For recommended values, consult the stor-

 

age array product documentation.

 

 

Link Down Timeout

The number of seconds that the software waits for a down link

 

to recover before reporting it to the upper layers. The default

 

is 30 seconds.

 

 

Operation Mode

The reduced interrupt operation (RIO) mode, which enables

 

posting multiple command completions to the host in a single

 

interrupt. The default mode is 0. Operation Mode values are:

 

0—Interrupt for every command completion

 

5—Interrupt when the Interrupt Delay Timer expires

 

6—Interrupt when the Interrupt Delay Timer expires or

 

when there are no active commands.

 

 

Interrupt Delay Timer

The number of 200-microsecond increments that the software

 

waits between accessing (DMA) a set of handles and gener-

 

ating an interrupt. This setting works in conjunction with the

 

Operation Mode parameter. The default is 0.

 

 

Enable Interrupt

Enables or disables the use of the interrupt request queue

 

(IRQ) assigned to the adapter ASIC. When this parameter is

 

disabled, the BIOS polls for ISP mailbox command comple-

 

tion status. The default is No.
