Configuring iSCSI Offload with QConvergeConsole
The iSCSI offload feature provides full iSCSI offloads that include header and data
digest, receive protocol data unit (PDU) parsing, and direct data placement. You
can configure iSCSI offload parameters with the following utilities:
 QConvergeConsole GUI: graphical user interface
 QConvergeConsole CLI: interactive mode (menu driven) and non-interactive
mode (command-line driven)
For the interactive mode of the QConvergeConsole CLI, refer to the
QConvergeConsole CLI User’s Guide (for download instructions, see “Related
Materials” on page xii). For the non-interactive mode of the QConvergeConsole
CLI, refer to the procedures in this section to display and modify the following:
 Adapter-Level iSCSI Parameters
 Port-Level iSCSI Parameters
 Summary of Target Sessions
 Target Session-Level iSCSI Negotiated Parameters
 Target Session-Level Persistent iSCSI Parameters
Adapter-Level iSCSI Parameters
This section shows the commands used to display and to modify adapter-level
iSCSI parameters.
Displaying Adapter-Level iSCSI Parameters
To view the adapter configured settings, issue the -ch command. The positional
parameter, [hba_port_inst], is optional. If an hba_port_inst is specified,
information for only that adapter is shown. If the hba_port_inst is not specified,
information for all adapters in the system is listed.
Command line options:
-ch [hba_port_inst]
