Caching parameters (page code = 8)
The following parameters are used to optimize HDD Read-Ahead caching operations under the
system environments. Refer to Chapter 2 "Data Buffer Management" of the SCSI Logical
Interface Specifications for further details.
• IC: Initiator control
• RCD: Disabling Read-Ahead caching operations
• WCE: Write Cache Enable
• MF: Specifying the multipliers of "MINIMUM
PRE-FETCH" and "MAXIMUM PRE-
FETCH" parameters
• DISC: Prefetch operation after track switching during
prefetching
• DISABLE PRE-FETCH TRANSFER LENGTH
• MINIMUM PRE-FETCH
• MAXIMUM PRE-FETCH
• MAXIMUM PRE-FETCH CEILING
• NUMBER OF CACHE SEGMENTS
Notes:
1. When Read-Ahead caching operations are disabled by the caching parameter, these
parameter settings have no meaning except write cache feature.
2. Determine the parameters in consideration of how the system accesses the disk. When
the access form is not determined uniquely because of the processing method, the
parameters can be re-set actively.
3. For sequential access, the effective access rate can be increased by enabling Read-Ahead
caching operations and Write Cache feature.
Control mode parameters (page code = A)
The following parameters are used to control the tagged queuing and error logging.
