iSCSI Driver Configuration

Table 3-12 lists the user-configurable iSCSI driver options available on Windows

Server. It includes a description of the parameters, their default values, and their

configuration limits.

Note: If the value given for a parameter is outside the supported range, the driver logs

an error in the Event Log and continues to load by using the parameter’s default

value.

Configuring iSCSI Driver Options

The OneConnect Windows iSCSI driver parameters can be configured using the

Advanced tab of the Device Manager Property Page. To modify a configuration

parameter:
1. Select the Emulex OneConnect iSCSI CNA in the Windows Device Manager under

Storage Controllers.

2. Right click and select Properties. The Device Manager Property page opens.
3. Select the Advanced tab and make appropriate changes to the parameter as

required.

4. Reboot the system for the changes to take effect.

Notes:

The modifications to the driver parameters made using the Device Manager

Property page are not immediately applied. Instead they take effect during the

next driver load sequence; either during the next reboot or a driver unload or

load operation.

Although the Advanced Tab of the Device Manager Property page can be

accessed from any OneConnect iSCSI adapter, the parameter changes are

uniformly applied to all the OneConnect iSCSI adapter PCIe functions on the

system. Individual iSCSI PCIe functions cannot have their own set of

parameters.

Table 3-12 gives a description of the different iSCSI driver options and their possible

values.
