FC/FCoE Driver Configuration
The Emulex Storport Miniport driver has many options that you can modify to provide
different behavior. You can set Storport Miniport driver parameters using the
OneCommand Manager application. Refer to the OneCommand Manager Application
User Manual for information on using this utility to configure the driver.

allowable range of values and factory defaults. Parameters can be entered in decimal or
hexadecimal format.
