Activation Requirements
A parameter has one of the following activation requirements:
• Dynamic - The change takes effect while the system is running.
• Reset - Requires an adapter reset from the utility before the change takes effect.
• Reboot - Requires reboot of the entire machine before the change takes effect. In this case, you
are prompted to perform a reboot when you exit the utility.
The Host Driver Parameters Tab
The Host Driver Parameters tab enables you to view and edit the adapter driver parameter settings
contained in a specific host. The host driver parameters are global values and apply to all adapters in
that host unless they are overridden by parameters assigned to a specific adapter using the adapter
Driver Parameters tab. For each parameter, the tab shows the current value, the range of acceptable
values, the default value, and whether the parameter is dynamic. A dynamic parameter allows the
change to take effect without resetting the adapter or rebooting the system.
For information on changing parameters for a single adapter, see “Setting Driver Parameters” on
page 102. For information on changing parameters for the host, see “Setting Driver Parameters for All
Adapters in a Host” on page 104.
Note: In Solaris and Linux, you can also specify parameters when loading the driver
manually. (Not available in read-only mode.) Refer to the appropriate driver manual
for instructions.
Note: If there are no discovered FC or FCoE adapters, the entire Host Driver Parameters
tab is grayed-out. This occurs because there are no adapters to which the host driver
parameters apply.
