NodeTimeout=n

The node timer starts when a node (that is, a
discovered target or adapter) becomes
unavailable. If the node fails to become available
before the NodeTimeout interval expires, the
operating system is notified so that any
associated devices (if the node is a target) can be
removed. If the node becomes available before
NodeTimeout expires the timer is canceled and no
notification is made.
Value: 1–255 seconds or 0x0–0xFF (hex)
Default = 30 (0x1E)

Dynamic

QueueDepth=n

QueueDepth requests per LUN/target (see
QueueTarget parameter). If you expect the
number of outstanding I/Os per device to exceed
32, then you must increase to a value greater
than the number of expected I/Os per device (up
to a value of 254). If the QueueDepth value is set
too low, a performance degradation can occur
due to driver throttling of its device queue.
QueueDepth supports more than 1000 outstanding
commands per port.
Value: 1–254 or 0x1–0xFE (hex)
Default = 32 (0x20)

Dynamic

QueueTarget=n

QueueTarget controls I/O depth limiting on a per
target or per LUN basis.
If set to 0 = depth limitation is applied to
individual LUNs.
If set to 1 = depth limitation is applied across the
entire target.
Value: 0–1 or 0x0–0x1 (hex)
Default = 0 (0x0)

Dynamic

RmaDepth=n

RmaDepth sets the remote management buffer
queue depth. The greater the depth, the more
concurrent management controls can be handled
by the local node.
Value: 8–64, or 0x8–0x40 (hex)
Default = 16 (0x10)
Note: The RmaDepth driver parameter pertains to
the functionality of the OneCommand Manager
application.
