Hello,

I'm experimenting with the effects of different SCSI queue depth values.

The server has two QLogic QLE2560 FC HBAs connected via multipathing to a storage system. The storage system has allocated to LUNs to the server, each connected through four paths in an active-active-active-active round-robin configuration. All in all, the two LUNs are represented through eight /dev/sdX devices, represented by two devices in /dev/mpath.

Two questions related to that:

 - Is there a way to adjust queue depths without unloading the
   qla2xxx kernel module?

 - If I set the queue depth to 128, is that
    - 128 in total for all devices handled by the qla2xxx
      module?, or
    - 128 for each HBA? (256 in total), or
    - each of the eight /dev/sdX devices (1024 in toal)?, or
    - each of the two /dev/mpath/... devices (256 in total)?
   This is important for me to know so that my server doesn't
   flood the storage system, affecting other servers connected
   to it.
