Chapter 26. Fibre Channel
This section discusses the Fibre Channel API, native Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Fibre Channel drivers, and the Fibre Channel capabilities of these drivers.
26.1. Fibre Channel API
Following is a list of
/sys/class/
directories that contain files used to provide the userspace API. In each item, host numbers are designated by H
, bus numbers are B
, targets are T
, logical unit numbers (LUNs) are L
, and remote port numbers are R
.
Important
If your system is using multipath software, Red Hat recommends that you consult your hardware vendor before changing any of the values described in this section.
- Transport:
/sys/class/fc_transport/targetH:B:T/
port_id
— 24-bit port ID/addressnode_name
— 64-bit node nameport_name
— 64-bit port name
- Remote Port:
/sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-H:B-R/
port_id
node_name
port_name
dev_loss_tmo
: controls when the scsi device gets removed from the system. Afterdev_loss_tmo
triggers, the scsi device is removed.Inmultipath.conf
, you can setdev_loss_tmo
toinfinity
, which sets its value to 2,147,483,647 seconds, or 68 years, and is the maximumdev_loss_tmo
value.In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6,fast_io_fail_tmo
is not set by default, hencedev_loss_tmo
value is capped to 600 seconds.fast_io_fail_tmo
: specifies the number of seconds to wait before it marks a link as "bad". Once a link is marked bad, existing running I/O or any new I/O on its corresponding path fails.If I/O is in a blocked queue, it will not be failed untildev_loss_tmo
expires and the queue is unblocked.Iffast_io_fail_tmo
is set to any value exceptoff
,dev_loss_tmo
is uncapped. Iffast_io_fail_tmo
is set tooff
, no I/O fails until the device is removed from the system. Iffast_io_fail_tmo
is set to a number, I/O fails immediately whenfast_io_fail_tmo
triggers.
- Host:
/sys/class/fc_host/hostH/
port_id
issue_lip
: instructs the driver to rediscover remote ports.
