max_fcp_reqs

max_fcp_reqs defines the maximum number of concurrent Fiber-Channel FCP requests that are to be allowed on any FCP adapter installed in the machine.

Acceptable Values:

Minimum
0
Maximum
1024
Default
512

Specify integer value or use integer formula expression. If you set max_fcp_reqs to a value that is too low for the adapter to function properly, the system will set the value to the minimum required. See Specifying Parameter Values.

Description

max_fcp_reqs specifies the maximum number of concurrent FCP requests that are allowed on an FCP adapter. The default value specified when the system is shipped is 512 requests. To raise or lower the limit, specify the desired value for this parameter. The optimal limit on concurrent requests depends on several different factors such as configuration, device characteristics, I/O load, host memory, and other values that FCP software cannot easily determine.

Related Parameters and System Values

The system allocates memory for use by Tachyon FCP adapters based on the comination of values specified for num_tachyon_adapters and max_fcp_reqs.
