Using the Maximum LUNs Option
Command line option: max_lun=
Default value:
4
Valid options: 1-8
Function: Specify the maximum number of LUNs each host adapter
board should support per SCSI id.
Possible Impact: If number is reduced, may allow for reduction in memory
used by the driver. Reduction may also result in performance
degradation.
Use this parameter to optimize the use of dynamically allocated memory by the
driver. If less than 8 LUNs are used per Symbios Logic based PCI host adapter SCSI
id, this parameter allows a reduction in the total memory used for the driver.
The Power Management Utilities
Power management support for NetWare is provided by two NLMs, PMMAKE.NLM
and PMSCHED.NLM. Use one or both of these NLMs to activate power
management of disk devices registered with the Netware operating system through
the SDMSNETx.DSK driver.
PMSCHED.NLM allows manual control of power management to individual
devices, while PMMAKE.NLM allows creation of a schedule for power
management. You must not load these two utilities at the same time. If you plan to
use power management regularly, you can have PMSCHED.NLM load from the
AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
SDMS power management is supported only on disk devices. Some disk devices do
not support power management. If such a device is detected, PMSCHED indicates
the device is not power manageable.
Command line options for the PMMAKE.NLM and PMSCHED.NLM utilities are
described in this document.
NOTE: Power management of disk devices connected to Symbios Logic 8XX
controllers and handled by SDMSNETx.DSK is NOT supported in the NetWare
4.10 SFT-III environment.
Installing the Power Management Utilities
Follow these steps to install the Power Management Utilities.
1. Copy PMMAKE.NLM and PMSCHED.NLM to the SYS:\SYSTEM
directory of the NetWare server.
2. Create a subdirectory called SYS:\PM. This is the directory in which the
schedule text and configuration files should reside.
