Driver Parameters
The NetWare driver has two types of optional parameters:
■
System parameters (specified when the driver is loaded) (see section 5.5.1)
■
NVRAM parameters (stored in the HBA’s NVRAM) (see section 5.5.2)
5.5.1
System Parameters
The optional system parameters are specified on the driver load line. There are two
types of system parameters:
■
Global. The parameter applies to all driver instances; the value specified in the
first instance is used globally for all instances.
■
Instance. The parameter applies only to the individual driver instance specified
by the load line.
The system parameters are described in table 5-1 .
Table 5-1. QL2300.HAM Driver Parameters
Parameter Type Description
SLOT = n Instance This parameters tells NetWare the PCI slot number ( n ) of
the HBA on which to load this driver instance.
SLOT=
n parameter example:
LOAD QL2300.HAM SLOT=3
/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
/GANXT Instance This parameter queries the fabric name server; it is used
instead of a single GNNFT parameter. /GANXT is used
for compatibility with name servers that do not support
GNNFT.
/GANXT parameter example:
LOAD QL2300.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /GANXT
/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 QL2300.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /ALLPATHS
