Note
In order for the embedded device driver software
to be loaded, the driver being loaded must
support this setting. If the driver does not
support this setting, the result is the same as if
the setting were disabled, regardless of the
setting. Leaving this option enabled guaranties a
certified combination of software driver and RISC
firmware.
Frame size: This setting specifies the maximum
frame length supported by the Netfinity Fibre Channel
PCI Adapter. The default size is 2048.
IOCB allocation: This setting specifies the maximum
number of buffers from the firmware buffer pool that
are allocated to any one port. The default is 256
buffers.
Loop reset delay: After resetting the loops, the
firmware refrains from initiating any loop activity for
the number of seconds specified in this setting. The
default is 5 seconds.
Extended error logging: This setting provides
additional error and debug information to the
operating system. The default is Disabled.
Port down retry count: This setting specifies the
number of times the software retries a command to a
port returning port down status. The default is 0
retries.
Selectable Boot Settings:
The Selectable Boot
Settings option is accessed from the Configuration Settings
menu. If you enable this option, you can select the node
name from which you want to start up (boot). Once
enabled, this option forces the system to start up from the
selected FC drive, ignoring any IDE drives attached to the
system. If you disable this option, the system looks for an
IDE drive from which to start. If an IDE drive is not found,
the system looks for the first startable FC drive. When this
setting is disabled, the boot ID and boot LUN parameters
have no effect.
Note
This option applies only to disk devices; it does not
apply to CD-ROMs, tape drives, and other nondisk
devices.
Adapter Hard ID Settings:
The Adapter Hard ID
Settings option from the Configuration Settings menu
forces the Netfinity Fibre Channel PCI Adapter to use the
selected hard ID (0–125).
