Setting Driver Parameters
The Driver Parameters tab for adapters and hosts enable you to modify driver parameters for a specific
adapter or all adapters in a host.
For example, if you select a host in the discovery-tree, you can globally change the parameters for all
adapters in that host. If you select an adapter port in the discovery-tree, you can change the
lpfc_use_adisc, lpfc_log_verbose and the lpfc_nodev_tmo parameters for only that adapter.
For each parameter, the Driver Parameters tabs show the current value, the range of acceptable values,
the default value, and the activation requirement. You can also restore parameters to their default settings.
You can apply driver parameters for one adapter to other adapters in the system using the Driver
Parameters tab, thereby simplifying multiple adapter configuration. See “Creating a Batch Mode Driver
Parameters File” on page 106 for more information.
Setting Driver Parameters for a Single Adapter
To change the driver parameters for a single adapter:
1. Select Host or Fabric view.
2. In the discovery-tree, select the FC or FCoE adapter port whose parameters you want to
change.
3. Select the Driver Parameters tab. The parameter values for the selected adapter are displayed.
Note: VMware supports local and global parameter changes for all driver parameters.
Note: The Linux 2.6 kernel only supports setting some of the driver parameters for
individual adapters. Some driver parameters must be applied to all adapters
contained in the host. See the Emulex Driver for Linux User Manual for more detail.
