How to check the current queue depth value?

Question

I have an OEL server connected via fibre to a NetApp SAN. How can I view the queue depth as the OS sees it?

Solution 1

On mine to NETAPP:

ls /proc/scsi/qla2xxx
1
ls /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/1 | grep -i -A1 -B1 "queue depth"
Total number of interrupts = 30686605
    Device queue depth = 0x20
Number of free request entries = 1842

So x20 is 32 in decimal, This is the # you are looking for. You can read about calculation for NETAPP here:

https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196793/html/GUID-A055B184-0876-4376-9C75-35FE8C9BE832.html

EDIT: some other method to see: cat /sys/module/qla2xxx/parameters/ql2xmaxqdepth

Solution 2

The simplest way is

cat /sys/block/<sdX>/device/queue_depth

I do not have anything like that in /proc/scsi. I have cciss device_info scsi and sg.

[Danila Ladner]

what again is your output?

[에이바]

I don't have any output because I don't have anything under /proc/scsi that is like qla2xxx

[Danila Ladner]

what is your FC controller? mine just happens to be QLogic.

Can you see with lspci?

ls /sys/class/fc_host/host*

[Danila Ladner]

Add all that info into question please, so I people could see as well.

[에이바]

Sorry, the question is now updated. Thanks for all of your help.

[Danila Ladner]

"systool -c scsi_host -v" this will give you some info. Also "lsscsi -l" should tell queue depth.

[에이바]

The systool command does not show the queue depth. I do not have lsscsi. Is this a tool you installed separately on your system?
