Chapter 5. Software/Driver Configuration and Fine-tuning
An entity block begins with a block type (global or target). The content of each entity block is a
list of parameters specified in a "key=value" format. An entity-block ends at the beginning of the
next entity block or at the end-of-file.
The parameter list in an entity block contains both:
iSCSI parameters that override the default values
Parameters that facilitate passing of control information to the iSCSI driver
All lines in the configuration file that begin with "
be ignored. White space is not significant except in key=value pairs.
For the "key=value" parameters the <value> portion can be a single value or a list of multiple
values. When <value> is a list of multiple values, they must be listed on one line with a comma
"," to separate their values. Another way to list the values instead of commas is to list their
values as key=value pairs repeatedly, each on a new line, until they are all listed.
There are three categories of "key=value" parameter, the first category belongs to the global
entity block whereas the second and third categories belong to target entity block:
1. The Chelsio Global Entity Settings of key=value pairs
2. The iSCSI Entity Settings of key=value pairs
3. The Chelsio Entity Settings of key=value pairs
The following sub-sections describe these three categories and list in tables the details of their
key=value parameters.
5.4.1. Chelsio System Wide Global Entity Settings
Description
Chelsio System Wide Global Entity Parameters pass system control information to the iSCSI
software which affects all targets in the same way. More detail of these parameters below can
be found in a later section entitled "System Wide Parameters".
