Setting Up the Converged Network Adapter Cards
Use the following command to change the setting values when the driver parameter name is
"lpfcX_lun_queue_depth", the number of I/Os is "8", the module name is "lpfc", and the number of ports
is "2".
# esxcli system module parameters set -p "lpfc0_lun_queue_depth=8 lpfc1_lun_queue_depth=8" -m lpfc
Input the number of I/Os ("8" in this example) for each driver parameter setting.

Reboot VMware ESXi.
# reboot

After rebooting VMware ESXi, check the setting values.
~ # esxcli system module parameters list -m lpfc | grep lpfc[0-1]_lun_queue_depth
lpfc0_lun_queue_depth
lpfc1_lun_queue_depth

Record the module name for the Converged Network Adapter card that is loaded into VMware ESXi.
The underlined portion indicates the loaded module name. In the following example, "lpfc820" is the
module name.
# esxcli system module list | grep lpfc
lpfc820
Module names may vary depending on the Converged Network Adapter card that is used.

Check the number of ports on the Converged Network Adapter card.
The SCSI Host numbers of the Converged Network Adapter card that are displayed represent the number
of ports.
In the following example, the number of ports is "two" since "4" and "5" (two underlined portions) are
displayed as the SCSI Host numbers of the Converged Network Adapter card.
