The Configuration File (lpfc.conf)
The lpfc.conf file contains all the variables that control driver initialization.
Note
Utilities such as HBAnyware expect to find lpfc.conf
installed in /etc directory. If documented install procedures
are followed, a link to lpfc.conf file is automatically created
in the /etc directory.
In the lpfc.conf file, all adapter-specific parameters have lpfcX_ prefix (where X is the
driver instance number); e.g., setting lpfc0_num_iocbs = 2000 allocates 2000 I/O control
blocks for the driver interface lpfc0. A value of -1 for an adapter specific parameter will
assign the default value for that parameter as denoted by lpfc_param.
Changes to the /etc/lpfc.conf file require a driver rebuild and reload for the changes to take
effect.
Note
If you want to override a driver parameter for a single
driver-loading session, you can specify it as a parameter to
the insmod command. For example:
# insmod ./lpfcdd.o lpfc_automap=0
This will load Emulex's SCSI support driver with
lpfc_automap set to 0 for this session.
If you load the driver with the help of /etc/modules.conf, you can also specify changes to
driver parameters in /etc/modules.conf. For example:
options lpfcdd lpfc_automap=0 lpfc_bind_entries=1 \
lpfc_fcp_bind_WWPN=50060482c33ed60f:lpfc1t1
would bind device with WWPN 50060482c33ed60f to target 1, with no other device
mapped.
