How to set target parameters like "MaxBurstLength"
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2005 2:32 pm
Hi there,
while evaluating StarWind with initiators on Linux and Windows boxes I noticed that the StarWind log contains entries with which parameter values the initiators are connecting to the targets.
As far as the Linux initiator is concerned I could quite easily set the parameter values in the initiator's config file.
The initiator connects to the target with these values but the target just takes some default settings and not the ones the initiator want's to use (e.g. "Numeric param 'MaxBurstLength': received 16776192, accepted 262144").
I'm quite sure that setting these params on the target side would result in a noticeable performance boost for the iSCSI connections.
Is there a way to set these parameters, e.g. in the StarWind config file? If so, are these settings being made on a "per server" or a "per target" basis?
Bye

PS:
Are you planning to make all of the advanced settings available via the StarWind GUI, or will I have to type them manually into the config file and restart the service to enable the new settings?
