Turning On the Devices

The setting value for X depends on the ETERNUS DX/AF model. Refer to the following tables.
Driver parameter
ql2xmaxqdepth
*1: Recommended value = 1024 ¸ (number of Fibre Channel ports that are connected to a single CA
port) ¸ number of LUNs
(Round the result down)
Use the value of "8" if the actual result is lower. Use the maximum value if the actual result ex-
•
ceeds the maximum value for the driver.
• To achieve maximum system performance, this value can be changed according to the server
load and the peak operating times.
• The number of simultaneous command executions per CA port for the ETERNUS DX/AF is limited
to 1024. This value is used by multiple servers that share the CA port. A maximum of 1024 com-
mands can be executed per CA port.
Example (when "8" is set for "ql2xmaxqdepth")
options qla2xxx ql2xmaxqdepth=8
• After the driver parameter settings are complete for XenServer 7.0, create an initial RAM disk.
Create an initial RAM disk image file to match the kernel being used. Refer to the QLogic Fibre
Channel card manual for details on the creation method.
• Creating an initial RAM disk is not required for XenServer 7.1 and later.
