Configurating the HBA

FC2354601-00 E 15-23

n Persistent Bind HBA. Select this check box to bind the selected HBA in the

configuration file. The SANblade Control FX Application binds the HBA's OS

instance number with the world wide node name and world wide port name of

the HBA. By default, this check box is cleared.

n Fast Error Reporting. This option enables/disables the OS’ control of the rate

at which errors are returned. Select this check box to set the value of the

fast-error-reporting parameter in the configuration file to 1 (enabled). By default,

this option is cleared (the fast-error-reporting parameter in the configuration file

is 0).

n Link Down Error. Select this check box to disable driver error reporting during

link down conditions (default).

n Loop Down Timeout. This option specifies the amount of time the driver waits

for a Fibre Channel loop to come up before reporting the failure. Setting the

timeout to small values may report transient errors that should be ignored. The

default value is 60 seconds. Enter a value in the range 0–240 seconds.

n Enable Target Reset. When you select this check box, the drivers issue a Target

Reset command to all devices on the loop when a SCSI Bus Reset command

is issued. By default, this check box is cleared.

n Enable Fast Command Posting. Select this check box to decrease command

execution time by minimizing the number of interrupts. For the QLA23xx HBAs,

this check box is cleared.

n Enable 4GB addressing. Select this check box if the system has more than

4 GB of memory available. By default, this check box is cleared.

n Maximum LUNs per Target. This setting specifies the number of LUNs per

target. Multiple LUN support is typical for RAID boxes that use LUNs to map

drives. The valid options for this setting are: 0, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256. If you

do not need multiple LUN support, set this option to 0.

After configuring the Advanced Host Parameters, continue with another selection

(Host Parameters or Advanced Firmware Parameters), or click one of the buttons

at the bottom of the page to save the new configuration (see section 15.6.1).
