Handles:
handles
or
handle
or
hdl Syntax: handles=[targetIDlist]
Default value: 300 handles
Valid options: Number of handles
Function: Defines the maximum number of bus/device/target handles
This option allows you to set a number of handles for the bus/device/target(s)
present on your system. Larger configurations should increase this value to the
total number of bus/device/target(s) in a system.
Host SCSI ID:
hostscsiid
or
hostid
or
hid Syntax: hostscsiid=[targetIDlist]
Default value: 7
Valid options: Can range between 0–7 for narrow bus; or between 0–15 for
wide bus.
Function: SCSI Identifier of an adapter
This option indicates the SCSI bus host identifier of an adapter. LSI Logic
recommends that the SCSI bus host identification value be set to 7.
LUN:
/lun Syntax: /lun
Default value: off
Valid options: Not applicable
Function: Enables NWPA scan for Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs)
This option allows you to enable NWPA scan for LUNs.
Minimum Timeout:
mintimeout
or
mint Syntax: mintimeout=[targetIDlist]
Default value: 0 (a value of zero disables this feature)
Valid options: 0–1200
Function: Specifies the minimum device timeout in seconds
This option allows you to use a timeout mechanism to support particularly slow
devices. When a drive issues a command to a SCSI device, a timer is started.
If the timer expires before the command completes, the driver assumes
something has gone wrong and takes steps to recover. The minimum setting
is zero (0), which represents no timeout.
Negotiation:
negotiation
or
neg Syntax: negotiation=[targetIDlist]
Default value: None
Valid options: on, off, ppir, sync, wide, syncwide, twostep, threestep
Description of each option: all negotiations on; negotiation off; all negotiation
on; synchronous negotiation only; width negotiation only; sync and wide
negotiation only; sync and width negotiation only, one per I/O; sync, width, and
ppir negotiation, one per I/O.
Function: Enable synchronous, wide, or ppir negotiation with the target ID.
This option allows you to enable/disable all negotiations or just synchronous or
width negotiations with a target ID of a device.
