Configure Iscsi Host Bus Adapter Firmware Settings - IBM TotalStorage DS300 Best Practices Manual

The second port does not see any devices because there are no devices
configured for this port. This will be done in the next steps.

7.1.10 Configure iSCSI host bus adapter firmware settings

There are two settings which need to be changed in the iSCSI host bus adapter
firmware. These settings are the same for the IBM iSCSI Server Adapter and the
QLogic iSCSI Expansion Card for IBM ^ BladeCenter and are required
for the IP failover of the DS300 controllers. These are:
ARP Redirect — set to enable
Connection keep alive time-out — set to 180 (was 30)
To change these firmware settings perform the following steps:
1. From the SANsurfer utility select on the iSCSI HBA tab the first port of the
iSCSI host bus adapter. Click the Port Options tab. On the Port options tab is
a Firmware tab. Click the firmware tab. Click the Open button to edit
Configured Firmware Values.
