Table 3-28. Pm Sweep Parameters
Parameter
Default
Value
Description
ErrorClear 2 This controls when the PM clears PMA
Error counters. Clearing the counters
sooner can result in more accurate running
totals and information in iba_report.
Clearing the counters later can allow
other tools and switch captures to have
more information when counters are
modest in value.
The values are as follows:
0 = clear when non-zero.
1 = clear when 1/4 of individual counters
max.
2 = clear when 2/4 of individual counters
max.
3 = clear when 3/4 of individual counters
max.
EhcaPmaAvoid 1 Provides control over how the PM
accesses the PMAs on the IBM eHCA
Logical Channel Adapter. The IBM eHCA
may be avoided if they are known not to
support a PMA. The QLogic Vendor PMA
provides increased efficiency in the PM
and additional statistics when used with
QLogic QDR switches at level 6.0 or later,
and/or QLogic HCAs with QLogic OFED+
level 6.0 or later.
If 1, avoid PMA on eHCA Logical Channel
Adapter.
CaPmaAvoid 0 Provides control over how the PM
accesses the PMAs on Channel Adapters.
Channel Adapters may be avoided if
they are known not to support a PMA.
The QLogic Vendor PMA provides
increased efficiency in the PM and additional
statistics when used with QLogic
Host Channel Adapters with QLogic
OFED+ level 6.0 or later.
If 1, avoid PMA on all Channel Adapters.
