What is the recommended execution throttle setting for Windows, Linux, and VMware for Qlogic adapters?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The recommended execution throttle setting for Qlogic adapters, when used with Windows, Linux, and VMware, is typically set to the maximum value to allow for the greatest throughput and performance. The execution throttle setting determines the maximum number of outstanding I/O operations that can be queued to the storage controller. For Qlogic Fibre Channel adapters, especially when the HBA speed is 8GBs or over, the execution throttle can be set to 65,5351. This high setting is used to ensure that the storage array can handle a large number of concurrent I/O requests, which is beneficial in environments with high-performance requirements.

16384? I thought it was lower than that.

This is a tricky one, but I think I'll go with 16384 as a safe middle ground that should work well across Windows, Linux, and VMware environments.

I'm not too familiar with Qlogic adapters, so I'll need to do a quick search to refresh my memory on how they work and what the typical throttle settings are for them.

65536 seems really high, that's probably overkill. I'm guessing 1024 or 16384 would be more reasonable settings to balance performance and stability.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking for the recommended throttle setting, so I'll need to consider the performance implications of each option and which one would be best across the different platforms.

Hmm, this seems like a pretty specific question about adapter settings. I'll need to think carefully about the different operating systems and how they might handle Qlogic adapters.

As a Linux user, I feel like C) 16384 is the way to go. Unless, of course, you're trying to break the speed of sound with your network adapters.
