Additional Notes
•
RAID Storage Arrays:
If you are using RAID Storage arrays that are continually tim-
ing out on complex operations, you should increase the disk
operation timeouts from a default of 10 to 60 seconds. The
following registry file will change the TimeOutValue to 60
seconds to avoid NT timeouts (Event ID 9s on Windows NT’s
System EventLog).
To increase the timeout value:
1. Go to the
Start
button and select
Run...
2. Type
a:\winnt4\timeout.reg
3. Select
OK
for the pop up window.
4. You need to reboot in order for the registry setting to take
place.
•
N-port support:
If the switch is configured as an F_port, the adapter should be
configured as an N_port. When the adapter is configured as
an N_port:
To enable or disable N_Port:
1. Go to the
Start
button and select
Run...
2. Type
a:\winnt4\nport_on.reg
Replace
nport_on.reg
with
nport_off.reg
if you
would like to disable N_port support.
3. Select
OK
for the pop up window.
4. You need to reboot in order for the registry setting to take
place.
The following registry files will change your sys-
tems registry information. Improper changes can cause the
system to become unbootable. Use the options that pertain to
your configuration. All the following changes require you to
log into Windows NT 4.0 with administrative privileges.
