Use the following formula to calculate the value of the

MaximumSGList:
MaximumSGList = (BlockSize/4096)+1
For example, the MaximumSGList value for a 256k block size is 65, as

follows:
MaximumSGList = (265k/4k) + 1 = 64 + 1 = 65
If you have, for example, three aic78xx based SCSI channels on your

system, change the appropriate ...\Device0, ...\Device1 or ...\Device2

value. If you want to set all adapters at the same time, specify

MaximumSGList for ...\Device\.... Omitting the numerical reference

sets the value for all aic78xx adapters.

The block size can also be changed using the Data Protector management

interface.
