Troubleshooting the FC/FCoE Driver
1036
The LPFC driver does not discover all
remote ports in the configuration
switch zone. Some initiators or targets
may appear to be missing. Evaluate your switch zone. Count how many entries
there are and add at least seven more (to account
for fabric logins). If the sum exceeds 64, you must
increase the driver's node table size. The following
commands increase it to 128 entries. See “FC and
FCoE Driver Configuration” on page 1010 for more
information on this driver parameter.
Globally:
esxcli system module parameters set -p
“lpfc_nlp_slab_cnt=128� -m lpfc
Per instance:
esxcli system module parameters set -p
“lpfc0_nlp_slab_cnt=128� -m lpfc
Note: A reboot is required to activate it.
