Overview

Cisco Unified Computing System

) 2 .1 .2a introduces the fNIC Tunables feature, which provides the capability

™

to tune the fNIC Queue Depth and I/O Throttle Count parameters of the Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) Fibre Channel

network interface card (fNIC) driver in Linux and VMware ESX implementations . This guide provides an overview of these

two parameters and the methodologies and syntax for modifying their values . Prior to Cisco UCS 2 .1 .2a, both of these

parameters were statically set to industry best practice defaults, and these values are still recommended for the vast majority

of architectures . The ability to tune these parameters provides flexibility for those customers whose architectures may require

nondefault values . Modifying default values to specific solutions is beyond the scope of this guide .

This document is intended for Cisco systems engineers and customers involved in systems administration and performance

engineering on Cisco UCS Linux and VMware ESX implementations . It assumes advanced knowledge and understanding of Linux

and VMware operating system configurations in the context of storage technologies .

The two new fNIC tunable parameters introduced in UCSM 2 .1 .2a are Queue Depth and I/O Throttle Count . Definitions for each

of these parameters are as follows:

• Queue Depth: The total number of I/O requests that can be outstanding on a per-logical unit number (LUN) basis .

• I/O Throttle Count: The total number of I/O requests that can be outstanding on a per-virtual host bus adapter (vHBA) basis .

The Queue Depth and I/O Throttle Count tunable parameters are supported on the following operating systems:

• Red Hat Linux 6 .x (RHEL 6 .x)

• Red Hat Linux 5 .x (RHEL 5 .x)

• SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 (SLES 11)

• XenServer (XS)

• VMWare ESX 5 .x (ESX)

• Not Supported: VMware ESX 4 .x
