Driver Parameters
11-6 FC2354601-00 E
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
/GNNFT Instance This parameter uses a single GNNFT command to obtain
a list of ports from the fabric name server without having
to build the list from an iteration sequence of individual
GAN commands (which is time consuming). Most new
fabric switches support the GNNFT command.
/GNNFT parameter example:
LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /GNNFT
/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 adapter link
down and storage port down. When the timeout expires,
failover is triggered if multiple paths/ports are available.
/PORTDOWN=n parameter example:
LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /PORTDOWN=n
/FAILBACK=n Global This parameter sets the failback delay time period to
n seconds. This is the time period that elapses when a
port update event has occurred before any attempt is
made to failback paths/ports.
/FAILBACK parameter example:
LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /FAILBACK=n
