Driver Parameters
FL0054601-00 B
5-7
/PORTNAMES
Global
This parameter internally tracks devices by port name
rather than node name, which is required when storage
LUNs do not have a 1:1 correspondence across
port names. Tracking devices by port name allows upper
layer modules to do failover across a storage subsystem's
multiple ports.
/PORTNAMES parameter example:
LOAD QL2300.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /PORTNAMES
/PORTDOWN=
n
Global
This parameter sets the port down timeout period to
n
seconds, which is the timeout period for storage port
down. When the timeout expires, failover is triggered if
multiple ports are available.
/PORTDOWN=
n
parameter example:
LOAD QL2300.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /PORTDOWN=
n
/LINKDOWN=
n
Global
This parameter sets the link down timeout period to
n
seconds, which is the timeout period for adapter link
down. When this timeout expires, adapter path failover is
enabled if multiple ports are available.
/LINKDOWN=
n
parameter example:
LOAD QL2300.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /LINKDOWN=
n
/FAILBACK=
n
Global
This parameter sets the failback delay time period to
n
seconds. This is the time period that elapses when a
port update event has occurred before any attempt is
made to failback paths/ports.
/FAILBACK parameter example:
LOAD QL2300.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /FAILBACK=
n
/BACKOFF
Global
This parameter disables failback of I/O after a broken link
or a broken port has been restored and made operational.
/BACKOFF parameter example:
LOAD QL2300.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS/BACKOFF
/IGNCFG
Global
This parameter avoids reading the configuration file
QL2X00.CFG, and allows all devices to be reported to
NetWare. The QL2X00.CFG file is located in the default
DOS directory (C:\NWSERVER); this file is written by
QLogic SANsurfer software or the CFG.NLM test tool.
/IGNCFG parameter example:
LOAD QL2300.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /IGNCFG
