LinkSpeed=n LinkSpeed has significance only if the adapter
supports speeds other than one Gb/s.
Value: Auto-select, 1 Gb/s, 2 Gb/s, 4 Gb/s, 8
Gb/s
Default = Auto-select
Notes:
• Setting this option incorrectly can cause the
adapter to fail to initialize.
• If you configure the link speed in a BIOS utility,
the link speed may be overwritten by the
Windows operating system according to its
own configuration settings. To avoid this issue,
configure the link speed in both the operating
system driver and the Boot BIOS or UEFI driver.
Reset FC Only
LinkTimeOut=n LinkTimeOut applies to a private loop only. A
timer is started on all mapped targets using the
link timeout value. If the timer expires before
discovery is re-resolved, commands issued to
timed out devices returns a SELECTION_TIMEOUT.
The Storport driver is notified of a bus change
event which leads to the removal of all LUNs on
the timed out devices.
Value: 1–500 seconds or 0x0–0xFE (hex)
Default = 30 (0x1E) Dynamic
LogErrors=n LogErrors determine the minimum severity level
required to enable entry of a logged error into
the system event log. Errors are classified as
severe, malfunction or command level.
A severe error requires user intervention to
correct a firmware or adapter issue. An invalid
link speed selection is an example of a severe
error.
A malfunction error indicates that the system has
issues, but user intervention is not required. An
invalid fabric command type is an example of a
malfunction error.
An object allocation failure is an example of a
command error.
If set to 0 = all errors are logged.
If set to 1 = command level errors are logged.
If set to 2 = malfunction errors are logged.
If set to 3 = severe errors are logged.
Value: 0–3
Default = 3 Dynamic
