Modify Diagnostic Driver Parameters in the Windows Registry
This screen provides information about device driver parameters that are maintained
in the Windows registry and allows you to modify those values.
CAUTION: Do not modify the registry parameters unless specifically instructed to do
so by support personnel. Modifying registry parameters can result in an unstable SAN.
The data display lists all available device driver parameters, along with the current,
minimum, maximum, and default values. Parameters that have their value specified in
the system registry are denoted with either a G or an L in the left-most column of the
screen. The G indicates that the value is set in the global registry entry, which applies
to all HBAs that do not have a local registry entry. The L indicates that the value is set
in a registry entry specific to the selected HBA, which overrides the value settings in
the global entry.
Modify the Driver Parameters
From the LightPulse Utility/NT Main menu screen:
1. Select the desired HBA.
2. Expand the category list and select Driver Parameters.
3. Double click a Parameter Name.
4. Enter the desired value in the New Value field.
5. Select the Permanent or Global checkbox:
• Select Permanent to cause the new value to be written to the system registry.
If Permanent is not selected, the parameter reverts to its default value when
the driver is reset.
• Select Global to change the global registry entry. Otherwise, the change is
made to the HBA-specific registry entry.
