Once the ESXi hosts is back online reconnect via CLI and check that the nfnic module parameters are esxcli system module parameters list -m nfnic

Unfortunately after upgrading the nfnic driver the option to set that parameter won't be available, it will only be configurable after the first reboot completes.

Once the reboot is complete the nfnic queue depth parameter can be set. The host will need to be rebooted after the nfnic driver is esxcli system shutdown reboot -reason "nfnic driver upgrade"

The nfnic driver is upgraded via esxcli software vib install -d "/vmfs/volumes/sn1-m20-c12-25-ISO-Repository/VMware/Drivers/nfnic_ESXi_6.7U2/VMW-ESX-6.7.0-nfnic-4.0.0.35-offline_bundle-13303543.zip" Here is the workflow for upgrading the nfnic driver: The host is put into maintenance mode (either from the CLI or esxcli system maintenanceMode set -enable true

The nfnic folder was copied to a datastore in the VMware environment that each of the hosts were connected to, in this case an ISO ls /vmfs/volumes/sn1-m20-c12-25-ISO-Repository/VMware/Drivers/nfnic_ESXi_6.7U2/ The nfnic package can also be downloaded from VMware.

The device max queue depth and outstanding IOs for the PE is currently set to 32.įor this ESXi Host the nfnic driver 4.0.0.17 is installed which does not have any supported module esxcli system module parameters list -m nfnic driver 4.0.0.35 has been copied out from the 4.0.4 VMware related drivers ISO that can be downloaded from Cisco.

Confirm what version is currently running on the esxcli software vib list |grep nfnic.

This means that this driver will need to be manually installed until a Cisco image or an image from VMware are released with an updated nfnic driver. This is not the default nfnic driver for ESXi 6.7 U2 and under. This could also affect any high workload and IOPs VMs that need higher queue depths across the board.Ĭisco released an updated version of the nfnic driver in 4.0.0.35 to adjust "lun_queue_depth_per_path". This has primarily been an issue when using vSphere Virtual Volumes as the default device queue depth for a Protocol Endpoint should be 128. This would apply to device backings for VMFS Datastores, RDMs and Protocol Endpoints. With the default queue depth with the nfnic driver set to 32, that in turn limits all Maximum Device Queue Depth and DSRNO (Disk Schedule Number Requests Outstanding) to 32. This KB will cover updating the nfnic driver, adjusting the nfnic queue depth and device queue depth.Ĭisco has a published Bug outlining the issue, CSCvo09082, which can be referred to as needed. Cisco released an updated version of the nfnic driver (4.0.0.28+) with a configurable module parameter, "lun_queue_depth_per_path".

With this update the default queue depth with the nfnic driver is set to 32 and initially there was not a module parameter to adjust the nfnic queue depth.
