11 – NetWare Driver Installation
Driver Parameters
11-6 FC2354601-00 J
Q
/LUNS Instance This parameter tells NetWare to scan for all LUNs when
this driver is loaded. Otherwise, NetWare scans only for
LUN zero devices. The scanned LUN number range is 0
to (n –1), where n is specified by the /MAXLUNS=n option.
/LUNS parameter example:
LOAD QL2300.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS
/GANXT Instance This parameter queries the fabric name server; it is used
instead of a single GNNFT parameter. /GANXT is used
for compatibility with name servers that do not support
GNNFT.
/GANXT parameter example:
LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /GANXT
/ALLPATHS Global This parameter disables failover and reports to NetWare
all devices on all HBA paths, which allows upper layer
modules to do failover across a Netware server's multiple
HBAs.
/ALLPATHS parameter example:
LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /ALLPATHS
/PORTNAMES Global This parameter internally tracks devices by port name
rather than node name, which is required when storage
LUNs do not have a 1:1 correspondence across
port names. Tracking devices by port name allows upper
layer modules to do failover across a storage subsystem's
multiple ports.
/PORTNAMES parameter example:
LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /PORTNAMES
/PORTDOWN=n Global This parameter sets the port down timeout period to
n seconds, which is the timeout period for storage port
down. When the timeout expires, failover is triggered if
multiple ports are available.
/PORTDOWN=n parameter example:
LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /PORTDOWN=n
/LINKDOWN=n Global This parameter sets the link down timeout period to
n seconds, which is the timeout period for adapter link
down. When this timeout expires, adapter path failover is
enabled if multiple ports are available.
/LINKDOWN=n parameter example:
LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /LINKDOWN=n
