mapped.
Query name server for all N-Ports
Enable – Tells the driver to poll the name server for
all connected N-Ports.
Disable – The driver will ask for all registered SCSI
FCP devices.
Note
Emulex adapters register as a SCSI FCP device. If
the only devices on the fibre channel are Emulex
Adapters and storage devices, the same list of
devices will be returned for each of the two choices.
Point to Point
Enable – Causes the adapter to initialize in a point to point configuration. This control
should also be checked if connected to a fabric via an F-Port.
Disable – The adapter will use Loop Initialization to initialize the link.
Allow Multiple paths to SCSI Targets
Enable – Mapped SCSI devices are reported on each connected port.
Disable – Mapped SCSI devices are reported only on the first connected port.
Register for State Change
Enable – When a fabric is present, the driver will register with the fabric to receive
Registered State Change Notification (RSCN) ELS requests from the fabric.
Disable – The driver will not register with the fabric, even if the fabric is present.
Note
Disabling State Change Notification will disable the
automatic discovery of new devices. It will also
prevent the recovery when moving cables on a
switch connected to a storage device.
Use Report LUNs
Enable - For all SCSI devices, the driver will issue a Report LUNs SCSI command to
determine the LUNs present on the storage device. The target device is responsible for
reporting all present LUNs. If this option is enabled and the target device supports Report
