Description

 

 

 

 

FW_Fast_Postinga

on, off

n/a

When on, allows posting SCSI command com-

 

 

 

pletions for multiple SCSI commands during a

 

 

 

single system interrupt.

 

 

 

 

FW_Initiator_Modea

on, off

n/a

When on, the HBA is in initiator mode.

 

 

 

 

FW_Markera

on, off

n/a

When on does not require a marker IOCB to

 

 

 

resume IOCB processing after a task manage-

 

 

 

ment mailbox command. When off, the HBA

 

 

 

rejects any IOCB for a target device affected by

 

 

 

a task management command until the driver

 

 

 

issues a marker IOCB to synchronize the SCSI

 

 

 

request queue between the HBA and the driver.

 

 

 

 

FW_Sense_Buffer_

on, off

n/a

When on, the HBA expects the last data seg-

Desca

 

 

ment descriptor of the data descriptor list associ-

 

 

 

ated with a Command Type 3 IOCB to be a

 

 

 

descriptor of a sense buffer.

 

 

 

When off, the HBA passes any sense data from

 

 

 

the target in a status IOCB.

 

 

 

 

FW_ZIO_Enable_Mode

on, off

ZIOE

Enables Zero Interrupt Operation (ZIO) mode.

 

 

 

When on, the firmware minimizes the number of

 

 

 

interrupts it generates to the host driver while it

 

 

 

continues to post completions to the queue.

 

 

 

When the ZIO count threshold is reached, the

 

 

 

firmware interrupts the host driver to notify it that

 

 

 

the queue must be drained. When an I/O com-

 

 

 

pletes before the ZIO count threshold, the host

 

 

 

driver is interrupted so it can drain all the I/O

 

 

 

completions from the queue.

 

 

 

 

IP_Address

IPv4

IPAD

Target IP address.

 

address

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP_ARP_Redirect

on, off

IPARP

When on, MAC addresses are discovered and

 

 

 

bound to IP addresses for hosts to which the

 

 

 

HBA wants to talk.

 

 

 

 

IP_Fragmentationa

on, off

n/a

When on, the HBA cannot fragment IP data-

 

 

 

grams. When this parameter is off, the HBA

 

 

 

fragments IP datagrams as necessary.

 

 

 

 

IP_Gateway

IPv4

IPGW

IP address of the gateway available to the HBA.

 

address

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP_Subnet_Mask

IPv4

IPSM

HBA subnet mask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

 

address
