And to verify that the value has been reprogrammed:
~ # esxcfg-module -g lpfc
lpfc enabled = 1 options = 'lpfc_lun_queue_depth=8'
Once verification has completed, reboot the server to activate the command and burn
the new driver parameters into the initial ram disk.
Ethernet Driver Example
This example assumes a single OCe10100 or OCe11100-series adapter in the host, since
the max_vfs parameter receives the number of VFs for each PF.
Before upgrading to ESXi 5.5, you would enter the following command:
~ # esxcfg-module -g be2net
be2net enabled = 1 options = ‘max_vfs=2,2’
After upgrading to ESXi 5.5, when the server administrator runs this command for the
out-of-box native mode Ethernet driver for the OCe10100 or OCe11100-series adapter,
there are no module parameters. Note that the driver binary name is now elxnet for the
native mode Emulex Ethernet driver for the OCe10100 and OCe11100-series adapter.
~# esxcfg-module -g elxnet
elxnet enabled = 1 options = ‘’
The server administrator must then run the following command to set the driver
module parameters:
~ # esxcfg-module -s max_vfs=2,2 elxnet
And to verify that the value has been reprogrammed:
~ # esxcfg-module -g elxnet
elxnet enabled = 1 options = 'max_vfs=2,2'
Once verification has completed, reboot the server to activate the command and burn
the new driver parameters into the initial ram disk.
