I was looking through /var/lib/syslog on a Ubuntu 19.10 machine that has a LSI 9207-8i HBA and noticed the line

Mar 25 21:43:17 db0 kernel: [ 2.931849] mpt2sas_cm0: High IOPs queues : disabled

Is it possible to enable High IOPs queues in order to improve IOPS performance of drives connected to this HBA?

Requirements for high IOPS queues are in this kernel patch; basically:
- HBA is an AERO controller,
- MSIXs vector supported by the HBA is 128,
- Total CPU count in the system more than high iops queue count,
- Loaded driver with default max_msix_vectors module parameter and
- System booted in non kdump mode.
I've no idea what an aero controller is, but chances are also you don't have more CPUs than you have IO queues.
