EnableDPC =
n
level, 1 = process at DPC level.
FrameSizeMSB =
n
Values from 1 - 8. Default = 8. Controls the upper byte of receive
FrameSize if issued in PLOGI. This allows the FrameSize to be
constrained on 256 byte increments from 256 (1) - 2048 (8).
HardALPA = 0x
n
Values from 0x01 - 0xEF. Default = 0x01. Allows the adapter to
use a hard assigned loop address.
Note
: ONLY VALID ALPAs may
be used (
see ALPA table
).
LinkTimeOut =
n
Values are in seconds from 1 - 500. Default = 60. Controls the time-
out at which link no longer BUSY's requests but issues
SELECTION_TIMEOUT error status.
LogErrors =
n
Values 0 or 1. Default = 0. 0 = do not log general adapter/disk
errors. 1 = use Event Log to log general errors.
NodeTimeOut =
n
Values are in seconds from 1 - 255. Default = 10. Controls the time-
out at which a formerly logged in node will issue
SELECTION_TIMEOUT error status to an I/O request.
QueueDepth =
n
Values from 1-64 (decimal). Default = 32. Requests per
LUN/Target (see Queue Target parameter).
QueueTarget =
n
Values 0 or 1 (decimal). Default = 0. 0 = QueueDepth applies on a
per LUN basis 1 = QueueDepth applies on a per Target basis.
RATOV =
n
Values are in seconds from 2 to 120. Default = 2. This value is the
ELS request time-out.
ReadCheck =
n
Values 0 or 1. Default = 1. 0 = do not enable byte counting for read
operations. 1 = enable byte counting. If bytes counted are less than
requested transfer count, issue underrun.
ResetFF =
n
Values 0 or 1. Default = 1. 0 = ResetBus translates to LIP(F7). 1 =
ResetBus translates to LIP (FF). Used for WolfPack to force
reservations to be freed when ResetBus issued. Only meaningful for
FC_AL topology and Seagate native FC disk drives.
ResetTPRLO =
n
Values 0 or 1. Default = 1. 0 = ResetBus translates to LIP( ). 1 =
ResetBus translates to ThirdPartyProcess LIP ( ). Used for
WolfPack to force reservations to be freed when ResetBus is issued.
RetryInterval =
n
Values are in seconds from 2-255. Default = 45. Used for time-out
interval if RetryIoTimeOut = 1. Must be shorter than Class driver
TimeOutInterval.
RetryIoTimeOut =
n
Values 0 or 1. Default = 1. 1 = allow adapter to time-out I/O prior to
port driver's time-out which will cause a LIP/Link Reset.
