How to check the current queue depth value?

  • 772

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

Output from lspci: 

05:00.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2532-based 8Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 02)
05:00.1 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp. ISP2532-based 8Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev 02)

  1. The simplest way is

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

    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:

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