Emulex Drivers for VMware ESXi User Guide
lpfc_enable_rrq Enables Reinstate Recovery
Qualifier functionality.
0x0 = Disabled,
XRI/OXID use not
tracked.
0x1 = XRI/OXID reuse is
timed with the resource
allocation timeout
(R_A_TOV), Reinstate
Recovery Qualifier sent.
0x2 = XRI/OXID reuse is
timed with R_A_TOV;
no reinstate recovery
qualifier is sent.
This parameter requires a
system reboot.
Default = 2
Min. = 0
Max. = 2
lpfc_enable_SmartSAN Enables SmartSAN
functionality. The function
works with FDMI-2 to provide
enhanced fabric diagnostics.
This parameter requires a
system reboot.
Default = 0
disable
Min. = 0 disable
Max. =1 enable
lpfc_external_dif Enables external DIF support
on select devices.
This parameter requires a
system reboot.
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
(default)
External DIF is not available for
LPe12000-series adapters.
lpfc_fcp_class Selects the FC class of
service for FCP sequences.
This parameter requires a
system reboot.
Default = 3
Min. = 2
Max. = 3
lpfc_fdmi_on Controls FDMI support.
0 = FDMI support off.
1 = FDMI support on.
This parameter requires a
system reboot.
Default = 1
Min. = 0
Max. = 1
If enable_SmartSAN is set 1, the driver
automatically supports FDMI-2. If
enable_SmartSAN is set 0, the driver uses
the current value of fdmi_on to provide
FDMI support – 0 meaning no support or 1
meaning FDMI-1 support.
If FDMI-2 fails, the driver falls back to
FDMI-1. If enable_SmartSAN is set to 1,
the driver ignores the fdmi_on value and
goes directly to FDMI-2 support.
Traditional FDMI support means the driver
will assume FDMI-2 support; however, if that
fails, it falls back to FDMI-1.
lpfc_first_burst_size First burst size for targets
that support first burst.
This parameter is
dynamically updated.
Default = 0
Min. = 0
Max. = 65,536
