2 Check the number of ports on the Converged Network Adapter card.
The number of CNA Names for the Converged Network Adapter card that is displayed represents the
number of ports.
In the following example, the number of ports is "two" since "vmhba1" and "vmhba2" (two underlined
portions) are displayed as the CNA Names of the card.
# esxcfg-scsidevs -a | grep lpfc
vmhba1 lpfc link-up fc.20000000c98df7c4:10000000c98df7c4 (0:2:0.0) ServerEngines Corporation E
mulex OneConnect OCe11100 10GbE, FCoE UCNA
vmhba2 lpfc link-up fc.20000000c98df7c5:10000000c98df7c5 (0:2:0.1) ServerEngines Corporation E

3 Check the default value for the Converged Network Adapter card.
Specify the module name for the Converged Network Adapter card that you recorded in Step 1 and
check the default value.
~ # esxcli system module parameters list -m lpfc | grep lpfc[0-1]_lun_queue_depth
lpfc0_lun_queue_depth int Max number of FCP commands we can queue to a specific LUN
lpfc1_lun_queue_depth int Max number of FCP commands we can queue to a specific LUN
[0-1] indicates that the number of ports is two.
