I am trying to configure a cambex hba so it will work efficiently with our Xiotech SAN. Xiotech needs this to be setup on the AIX box per their website...
# smitty devices
* Select Fixed Disk
* Select Change / Show Characteristics of a Disk
* Select the hdisk to modify Change the following:
Queue Depth = 8
Queue Type = Simple Read/Write
Time Out Value = 90
Apply Change to DATABASE Only = yes
The server must be rebooted for these changes to take place.
The settings in the table below are applied within smitty:
I can get to hdisk0 and hdisk1 settings just fine. My problem is that the
Queue Depth = 8
Queue Type = Simple Read/Write
Time Out Value = 90
Apply Change to DATABASE Only = yes
are nowhere to be seen. I tried googling to find a command line alternative and i tried this command for queue depth
# chdev hdisk0 -a queue_depth=8
and got this error...
chdev: 0514-500 Usage error - hdisk0
Usage:
chdev -l Name [-a Attribute=Value]...[-p ParentName][-P|-T]
[-q][-w ConnectionLocation][-f File]
chdev -h
What am I doing wrong here or is Xiotech doing something wrong?
