The Host Driver Parameters Tab

The Host Driver Parameters tab enables you to view and edit the adapter driver

parameter settings contained in a specific host. The host driver parameters are global

values and apply to all adapters in that host unless they are overridden by parameters

assigned to a specific adapter using the adapter Driver Parameters tab. For each

parameter, the tab shows the current value, the range of acceptable values, the default

value, and whether the parameter is dynamic. A dynamic parameter allows the change

to take effect without resetting the adapter or rebooting the system.
For information on changing parameters for a single adapter, see “Setting Driver

Parameters” on page 151. For information on changing parameters for the host, see

“Setting Driver Parameters for All Adapters in a Host” on page 154.

Note: If there are no discovered FC or FCoE ports, the entire Host Driver Parameters

tab is grayed-out. This occurs because there are no drivers to which the host

driver parameters apply.
