❑ Enable Drivers Load RISC Code. When this setting is enabled, the
host adapter uses the RISC firmware that is embedded in the adapter’s
driver. If this setting is disabled, the adapter’s driver loads the latest
version of RISC firmware found on the system.
NOTE: The driver being loaded must support this setting. If the driver
does not support this setting, the result is the same as disabled
regardless of the setting. Leaving this option enabled assures
support of the software driver and RISC firmware.
❑ Login Retry Count. This setting specifies the number of retries the
adapter uses during a login. This count can be a value from 0 to 255.
❑ Port Down Retry Count. This setting specifies the number of times
the adapter’s software retries a command to a port returning port down
status. Valid range is from 0 to 255.
❑ Enable Extended Error Logging. This setting provides additional
error and debug information to the operating system.
❑ Enable Fast Command Posting. When this setting is enabled,
command execution time is decreased by minimizing the number of
interrupts.
❑ Enable LIP Reset. This setting determines the type of LIP reset that is
used when the operating system initiates a bus reset routine. When this
setting is enabled, the adapter’s driver initiates a global LIP reset to clear
the target drive reservations. When this is disabled, the driver initiates
a global LIP reset with full login.
❑ Enable Target Reset. When this setting is enabled, the adapter’s driver
issues a target reset to all devices on the loop during a SCSI bus reset
function call.
❑ IOCB Allocation. This setting specifies the maximum number of
buffers from the firmware buffer pool that are allocated to any one port.
Valid range is from 1 to 512. If this setting is enabled, the adapter uses
the ID specified in the Hard Loop ID setting.
