Setting Up the Converged Network Adapter Cards
1.2.4.1
For VMware vSphere 5.5
1
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, "lpfc" is the mod-
ule name.
# esxcli system module list | grep lpfc
lpfc
Module names may vary depending on the Converged Network Adapter card that is used.
2
Check the number of ports on the Converged Network Adapter card.
The number of CNA Names for the Converged Network Adapter card that is displayed represents the
number of ports.
In the following example, the number of ports is "two" since "vmhba1" and "vmhba2" (two underlined
portions) are displayed as the CNA Names of the card.
# esxcfg-scsidevs -a | grep lpfc
vmhba1
lpfc
mulex OneConnect OCe11100 10GbE, FCoE UCNA
vmhba2
lpfc
mulex OneConnect OCe11100 10GbE, FCoE UCNA
3
Check the default value for the Converged Network Adapter card.
Specify the module name for the Converged Network Adapter card that you recorded in
check the default value.
~ # esxcli system module parameters list -m lpfc | grep lpfc[0-1]_lun_queue_depth
lpfc0_lun_queue_depth
lpfc1_lun_queue_depth
[0-1] indicates that the number of ports is two.
4
Change the setting values of the parameter for the Converged Network Adapter card driver.
Driver parameter
lpfcX_lun_queue_depth
*1: Recommended value = 512 ¸ (number of FCoE 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.
When the value for this setting is changed, refer to "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX Configuration
