The firmware uses a pagingmechanism to handle up to 255 simultaneous SCSI commands. Thesequencer can simultaneously manage up to 128 tagged, or 1nontagged, SCSI commands for each SCSI device, up to a limit of255 SCSI commands. The firmware can queue as many commandsas the operating system is able to send to the host adapter. To setthis feature, enter the following command:max_tags=nIn general, a low number of max_tags gives better sequentialperformance, and a high number a better random performance.Note: A large number of max_tags can also cause starvationproblems leading to deactivation with some drives.
