7 – Setting Up Connections
Configuring Targets

Q
For example, if you add targets, update the HBAs firmware configuration
parameter values and save them (see section 11.1), and then add additional
targets, the additional targets will have the new saved HBA configured
firmware default settings. The first set of added targets will have the original
HBA’s configured firmware default settings that existed when they were
added.
2. Select and change the desired parameters. Except for the following parameters,
they are a subset of the firmware configuration parameters. (For descriptions
of the firmware configuration parameters, see section 11.1.)
Bind. When the check box is selected in this read-only field, the target is
bound to the QLA4xxx HBA.
Enable. When the check box is selected in this read-only field, the target is
visible and accessible to the QLA4xxx HBA. When this check box is not
selected, the target is visible, but not accessible, to the QLA4xxx HBA.
Dynamic. When the check box is selected in this read-only field, the target
has been identified, but is not yet visible or accessible to the QLA4xxx HBA.
Default Timeout. This column indicates the timeout interval that the
QLA4xxx HBA firmware uses for timing out commands or PDUs created and
transmitted by the QLA4xxx HBA that are not related to an IOCB. For
example, in session mode the firmware generates Login Command and Text
Command PDUs. These PDUs are not related to an IOCB; therefore, they
have no inherent timeout value. In this case, the firmware uses the value
specified in this column as the timeout interval for the Login Command and
Text Command PDUs. The firmware also uses the timeout interval specified
in this field for timing out Task Management commands that are generated
by the firmware as part of error recovery or in response to a mailbox
command that results in a Task Management command. The default value
for this column is 10 seconds. Valid values are in the range 0–65535.
3. When you are done changing the parameters, click OK. A message displays
indicating that these changes will be saved when you click Save on the Target
Settings tabbed page. Click OK.
