DescriptionName
The number of SCSI IO queue resources the system should allocate.
Enter an integer between 1 and 8. The default is 1.
At this time, the Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card
adapter supports only one SCSI I/O queue.
Note
SCSI I/O Queues field
The number of descriptors in each SCSI I/O queue.
Enter an integer between 64 and 512. The default is 512.
The number of descriptors can affect the performance of the
adapter, so we recommend that you do not change the default
value.
Note
Ring Size field
Step 7
(Optional) In the Options area, adjust the following values:
DescriptionName
Whether the system uses FCP Sequence Level Error Recovery
(FC-TAPE) protocol for sequence level error recovery with tape devices.
This enables or disables the Read Exchange Concise (REC) and
Sequence Retransmission Request (SRR) functions on the VIC firmware.
This can be one of the following:
• Disabled—This is the default.
• Enabled—You should select this option if your system is
connected to one or more tape drive libraries.
This parameter only applies to a server with a Virtual Interface
Card (VIC) adapter, such as the Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual
Interface Card.
Note
FCP Error Recovery field
The number of times that the system tries to log in to the fabric after
the first failure.
Enter any integer. To specify that the system continue to try indefinitely,
enter infinite in this field. We recommend you consult your storage
array documentation for the optimal value for this parameter.
This parameter only applies to a server with a VIC adapter, or
a converged network adapter such as the Cisco UCS M71KR-E
Emulex Converged Network Adapter.
Note
Flogi Retries field
The number of milliseconds that the system waits before it tries to log
in again.
Enter an integer between 1000 and 255000. The default is 4,000. We
recommend you consult your storage array documentation for the
optimal value for this parameter.
This parameter only applies to a server with a VIC adapter or
a converged network adapter.
Note
Flogi Timeout field
