If the MF (Multiplication Factor) parameter is OFF, the system will only prefetch the number of blocks
specified by PREFETCH after every read command. If the MF parameter is ON, then the system will
multiply the transfer length of the command by the prefetch value to determine how much data will be
prefetched. A prefetch value of less than 8 is recommended when the MF parameter is ON.
CACHE MF=ON|OFF enables/disables the MF bit on the specified LUN. Default is ON.
The Maximum Prefetch Ceiling parameter sets the maximum prefetch ceiling in blocks for prefetches
on read commands. It sets an upper limit on prefetching when the MF parameter is ON. The system will
automatically limit the amount of prefetching if the system is running low on resources.
CACHE MAX=x (where X is a range from 0...65535) sets the maximum prefetch ceiling in blocks for
prefetches on Read commands for the specified LUN. Valid range is 0 to 65535. Default setting is 65535.
3.3.1.4 Cache Settings Reset
CACHE DEFAULTS loads the default settings for all of the cache parameters for the specified LUNs.
Disk Configuration Settings
The DISK command displays the current disk configuration settings (Figure 3–30).
Figure 3–30 Disk Configuration Setting Screen
The writeback cache and disk timeout settings can be configured manually.
DISK TIMEOUT=x sets the disk timeout for an I/O request in seconds. Valid range is 1 to 512 seconds.
Default setting is 68 seconds.
DISK CMD_TIMEOUT=x sets the Retry Disk timeout (in seconds) for an I/O request. The retry timeout
value indicates the maximum amount of time that is allotted to receive a reply for each retry of an I/O
request. If the I/O request does not complete within this time, it is aborted and potentially retried: if there
is still time remaining in the overall disk timeout to allow for another retry, it is retried; if not, it
completes with an error status.
NOTE :
The DISK CMD_TIMEOUT value must be smaller than or equal to DISK TIMEOUT.
Valid range is 1 to 512 seconds.
