reporting all present LUNs. If this option is enabled and the target device supports Report
LUNs, then the Maximum number of LUNs is ignored for the target device.
Disable - If the target does not support the Report LUNs SCSI command or the option is
disabled, then the driver will poll each device for the present LUNs. The driver will start
with LUN 0 and proceed for each LUN up to the Maximum LUN value.
Use Name Server after RSCN
Enable - The driver will ignore the payload of the RSCN and query the name server for the
latest list of devices.
Disable - The driver relies on the data in the RSCN payload to update the list of devices.
Note
This option should be selected if using a switch with
FL ports or soft zoning (check your switch
manufacturers user guide). If neither FL ports or
soft zoning is being used, disable this option for
faster recovery after faults.
LUN Mapping
Enable - All LUNs behind all targets are mapped. Since Fibre Channel targets support a
LUN number 64 bits long and the port driver under NT only supports 8 bits, some sort of
mapping is required. Unmapped LUNs are not accessable by NT.
Disable - There is a one to one correspondence of Fibre Channel LUNs to NT LUNs.
In the case where LUN Mapping is not used, the Fibre Channel LUN is created as follows:
00xx00000000
where the xx is the NT LUN number.
Automatic LUN Mapping
Enable - LUNs are automatically mapped by the driver as they are discovered.
Note
Automatic mapping may cause LUN numbers to
"change". For example, the LUN indicated by the
SCSI Applet on the control panel may be different
from the actual LUN number on the device. The
mapping can be viewed by clicking on the LUN
Mapping button.
Disable - LUNs must be manually mapped.
Use SLI-1 mode
