You should use caution while issuing the following commands because some commands (such as forcing 1 Gbit/s operation on a 2 Gbit/s FC loop) could render the bus unusable. 4.7.4.1 select Command Use the select OpenBoot command to choose the adapter entry. This opens the port to bring the port online. ok select /pci@8,700000/IntraServer,fc@1 4.7.4.2 .properties Command Use the .properties command to show the adapter properties. ok .properties firmware-version 1.02.00 mpt-version 1.
4.7.4.3 show-children Command While you have the host adapter or port selected, use the show-children command to display the devices currently connected to this adapter. First, select the port or adapter shown (use the port name your system assigns): ok select /pci@8,700000/IntraServer,fc@1 ok show-children MPT Version 1.00, Firmware Version 1.02.
4.7.5 Interrupt Coalescing The LSI Logic host adapters can complete multiple I/O requests per host interrupt. Interrupt coalescing is used to reduce CPU interrupts by pooling multiple disk command completions (I/O) into one interrupt. This feature may be enabled or disabled. LSI Logic has performed significant testing under multiple I/O conditions and has determined that interrupt coalescing can be very valuable for small transfer lengths or random, transaction-oriented I/O workloads.
Interrupt coalescing timeout selected is 100 (256 decimal) microseconds Interrupt coalescing depth selected is 8 (8 decimal) Interrupt coalescing has been set Change will take effect after system reset Note: 4.7.6 The system must be power cycled before the changes take effect. It is not sufficient to execute the reset-all command. Set FC Link Speed There are two modes of operation for FC: 1 Gbit/s and 2 Gbit/s.
ok show-link-speed Link speed selected is autobaud Current link speed is 1 Gbaud Note: 4.7.7 The system must be power-cycled before the changes take effect. It is not sufficient to execute the reset-all command. Persistent Device Naming One of the most powerful benefits of storage area networks (SANs) is scalability; the freedom to quickly add or delete storage components. To facilitate trouble-free SAN reconfigurations, you can save a list of devices currently connected to the host adapter.
Step 2. From the displayed list, select a device to mark persistent as shown in Figure 4.2. Figure 4.2 Select Device /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,fc@2/disk has been selected. ok select /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,fc@2 ok show-children MPT Firmware Version 1.02.12 Target 0 Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST39173FC 6615 WWN 200000203710c4e8 PortID a3 Step 3. Type ^Y (Ctrl-Y) to insert disk name in the command line as shown in Figure 4.3. Figure 4.3 Note: Figure 4.4 Note: Figure 4.
4.7.8 Manual Selection of FC Topology Under certain configurations, you may want to force the selection of FC topology and disable the auto detect mechanism in the FC adapter. This can be done on a port-by-port basis by using the following procedure. Note: It should not be necessary to change from automatic detection of topology. Also, firmware version 1.00.03 is the earliest version to support this functionality.
ok 1 set-topology Topology selected is NL_Port Topology has been set Change will take effect after system power cycle ok 2 set-topology Topology selected is N_Port Topology has been set Change will take effect after system power cycle ok a set-topology Topology selected is auto Topology has been set Change will take effect after system power cycle Note: 4-18 The system must be power-cycled before the changes take effect. It is not sufficient to execute the reset-all command.
