EFIBoot Advanced Adapter Settings Field Definitions

Device Path – Makes the Fibre driver appear as a SCSI driver.

Fibre (default)

SCSI

Boot Target Scan – This option is available only if none of the eight boot entries
are configured to boot via DID or WWPN.

NVRAM Targets (default) – Discovers only LUNs that are saved to the
adapter Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM).

Discovered Targets – Discovers all devices that are attached to the FC port.
Discovery can take a long time on large SANs.



EFIBootFCScanLevel: NVRAM Targets and EFIBootFCScanLevel:
Discovered Targets – Allows 3rd party software to toggle between Boot Path
from NVRAM and Boot Path from Discovered Targets by manipulating an
EFI system NVRAM variable.

Maximum LUNs per Target – Sets the maximum number of LUNs that are
polled during device discovery. The range is 1 to 4096. The default is 256.

Reset Delay Timer in seconds – Sets a value for delay device discovery. The
range is 0 to 255. The default is 0.

PLOGI Retry Timer – Sets the interval for the PLOGI (port log in) retry timer.
This option is especially useful for Tachyon-based RAID arrays. Under very
rare occasions, a Tachyon-based RAID array resets itself and the port goes
offline temporarily in the loop. When the port comes online again the PLOGI
retry interval scans the loop to discover this device.
