For example:

qfe = "QFE 83896", "\system32\drivers\storport.sys",

"5.2.1390.176","Win2008"

Setting Up FC Driver Parameters [STORPORT.PARAMS]

This section specifies driver parameters. Parameters are read exactly as they are entered

and are written to the registry. To change driver parameters, modify this section of the

AutoPilot configuration file. Locate the [STORPORT.PARAMS] section in the AutoPilot

configuration file. This section follows Optional Configuration File Changes. Under the

[STORPORT.PARAMS] heading, list the driver parameters and new values for the

driver to use.
For example:

Driver Parameter = "LinkTimeout = 45"

See Table 3-1, Storport Miniport Driver Parameters, on page 580 for a listing of driver

parameters, defaults and valid values.

Setting Up System Parameters [SYSTEM.PARAMS]

To change the system parameters, create a [SYSTEM.PARAMS] section in the

APInstall.cfg file. Create this section under the Optional Configuration File Changes

heading in the [AUTOPILOT.CONFIG] section.
For example, you can adjust the operating system’s global disk timeout. The timeout is

stored in the registry under the key

HKML\CurrentControlSet\Services\disk

and is

specified with the following string:

TimeOutValue = 0x3C (where the number is the timeout value in

seconds.)

path and file

name

This string identifies the file to be checked and its location relative

to the Windows home folder. In most cases, the file to check is the

Microsoft Storport driver, for example,

“\system32\drivers\storport.sys”. This string is also used in

dialogs and log file messages.

file version

This is the minimum version that the file to be checked must have

for the QFE to be considered installed. It is specified as a text

string using the same format as is used when displaying the files

property sheet. For example, “5.2.1390.176”.

applicable OS

This is used to determine if the QFE applies to the operating

system platform present. The acceptable value is “Win2008”.
