PAMAXPORT

   PAMAXPORT specifies the maximum port number to be polled on each
   CI and DSSI. The CI and DSSI port drivers poll to discover newly
   initialized ports or the absence/failure of previously responding
   remote ports.

   A system does not detect the existence of ports whose port
   numbers are higher than this parameter's value. Thus, set this
   parameter to a value that is equal to or greater than the highest
   port number being used on any CI or DSSI connected to the system.

   You can decrease this parameter to reduce polling activity if
   the hardware configuration has fewer than 16 ports. For example,
   if the CI or DSSI with the largest configuration has a total
   of 5 ports assigned to port numbers 0 through 4, you could set
   PAMAXPORT to 4.

   If CI or DSSI devices are not configured on your system, this
   parameter is ignored.

   The default for this parameter is 15 (poll for all possible ports
   0 through 15). VSI recommends that you set this parameter to the
   same value on each cluster computer.

   PAMAXPORT is a DYNAMIC parameter.
