XP256 and HBA LP8000 settings

[richierich_1]

Hi,

I have HP256 used for storage. On 2000 Windows machine we have Emulux LP8000 HBA card.

We see that our Exchange performance is little poor. Where can I find HP256 recommended performance settings for LP8000 emulux card?

Normall what parameters of HBA card I should take a look at , for better I/O performance?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hey Richie.
You should go to SPOCK.

Look for Array streams, in your case XP256 and operating system Windows 2K.
You can find there tuning params as well.

Hey again.
I found only that :
HBA Driver Parameters for Emulex and Emulex OEM HBAs
HP recommends ResetTPRLO = 2 parameter setting for the Emulex HBA for XP Array connectivity,
which is the default for driver version 5-4.82a16 or later.
More: W2K should be SP3 or SP4.
