EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex FC HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Installing and Configuring the Linux Host with the Emulex Driver
Table 7 provides a listing of the EMC-recommended settings for the
driver. These values will be used as default when installing the
driver.
* If PEMC owerPath,
®
Veritas DMP, or Linux native multipath (DM-MPIO) is installed,
lpfc_nodev_tmo must be set to 10.
Descriptions of the Emulex parameters
lpfc_link_speed Specifies link speed selection for the initialization of the FC
connection.
0 = auto negotiate
1 = 1 GB
2 = 2 GB
4 = 4 GB
The auto-negotiation feature may not be suitable in all environments.
In such an environment, EMC recommends explicitly setting the link
speed.
