Installing and Configuring the HBA and Driver
Example: The following example is a configuration for three
QLA2200F HBAs with separate Hard Loop IDs:
hba0-enable-LIP-reset — Enables/disables the adapter to issue a LIP
reset during Fibre Channel reset.
Note: Only one of variables hba0-enable-LIP-reset,
hba0-enable-LIP-full-login, and hba0-enable-target-reset
should be enabled at the same time.
hba0-enable-LIP-full-login — Enables/disables the adapter to issue
a LIP full login reset during Fibre Channel reset. (See the note below
hba0-enable-LIP-reset.)
hba0-enable-target-reset — Enables/disables the adapter to issue a
LIP target reset during Fibre Channel reset. (See the note below
hba0-enable-LIP-reset.)
hba0-reset-delay — Delay after a reset before sending commands to
the devices on the Fibre Channel bus.
hba0-port-down-retry-count — Number of command retries to be
done when devices are not responding on the Fibre Channel bus.
Large values might cause long delays for fail over software to detect a
failing device.
hba0-port-down-retry-delay — Amount of time to delay between
port down retries.
hba0-maximum-luns-per-target — Maximum number of LUNs to
scan for if the device does not report SCSI Report LUNS command.
hba0-connection-options — Specify the type of connection mode,
FC-AL or FC-SW.
hba0-fc-tape — Enable/Disable the Fibre Channel tape support.
hba0-fc-data-rate — Specify the Fibre Channel data rate.
hba0-pci-latency-timer — Latency timer, 0 to 0xF8.
hba0-pci-x-max-memory-read-byte-count — PCI-X maximum
memory read byte count: 0 (system default), 512, 1024, 2048, or 4096.
