1.11.12 Parameter settings for the Emulex LP8000 on Windows 2000

In Table 1-11 we show the recommended host bus adapter configuration file

parameters for an Emulex LP8000 adapter. The settings are for an IBM ESS

model F20 that is attached through a switch using the fabric, automap SCSI

devices port driver, and an IBM ESS model F20 that is attached directly, using

arbitrated loop, automap SCSI devices port driver.

Table 1-11 Recommended LP8000 settings for Windows 2000

one adapter that requires different parameter settings, you must change the

parameter settings with the port utility and restart your host system.
