When you select the HBA Parameters Template option, SANsurfer FC HBA CLI
prompts you to select an HBA port (or All HBAs), and then offers some or all of
the following template types:
EMC (EMC-specific settings)
HP (HP-specific settings)
HPQ (HP-specific settings – 2Gb HP HBAs)
IBM (IBM-specific settings)
QLGC (QLogic-specific settings)
SUN (SUN-specific settings)
Select one of the templates to apply it immediately to the HBA port instance (or All
HBAs.) The following is returned:
Updating HBA Parameters on HBA instance n - QLA2nnn. Please
wait...
HBA Parameters update complete. Changes have been saved and
applied to the HBA instance n.

Using HBA Parameter Templates
Use templates to set OEM-specific storage qualified HBA parameters to a
pre-determined value without using a specific DAT/DEF file for each HBA type
that you might be using.
The following ISP2422/2432 parameters are subject to the template feature:
Execution Throttle specifies the maximum number of commands executing
on any one port. When a port’s execution throttle is reached, no new
commands are executed until the current command finishes executing
Descending Loop ID Search specifies in what order the firmware assigns
the AL_PA (ArbitratedLoop_PhysicalAddress). The firmware searches all
the nodes in a loop topology and assigns the AL_PA in a descending order if
you select 0, ascending order if you select 1.
Maximum LUNs Per Target specifies the maximum number of LUNs per
target. Multiple LUN support is typically for RAID boxes that use LUNs to
map drives.
Port Down Retry Count specifies the number of times SANsurfer FC HBA
CLI retries a command to a port returning port down status.
NOTE:
Settings that are effected by the template apply only to the ISP
2300/2310/23x2 2Gb HBAs and the ISP2422/2432 4Gb HBAs.
