■Header Split Size. This parameter accounts for packets with split headers
and data. The parameter value specifies the number of bytes at the
beginning of an incoming packet that must be isolated in the first receive
buffer. A value of 0 indicates that the packet header and data are not split.
QLogic recommends a default value of 0.
■Adapter Node Name. This parameter specifies the world wide name (node
name) of the QLA23xx HBA to use for this IP connection. The parameter is
required on systems with more than one QLA23xx HBA. You can use
Fast!UTIL to determine the node names for all QLA22xx/QLA23xx HBAs in
the system (see the Fast!UTIL section that corresponds to your QLA23xx
HBA).
