2–Configuring NIC
NIC Partitioning (NPAR)
SN0054671-00 B 2-47
The QConvergeConsole GUI and CLI tools work on both Linux and Windows
Servers. If you prefer using a browser-based GUI interface, you can use the
QConvergeConsole GUI to partition Ethernet ports into NIC, FCoE, or iSCSI
partitions and establish quality of service (QoS) by adjusting the bandwidth
settings. As an alternative, you can use QConvergeConsole CLI to set up
partitions using a command line interface in either interactive or non-interactive
mode.
On Windows host servers, you can use the QLogic Device Windows Properties
Page to set up and manage NIC partitions (for more information, see “QLogic
Device Windows Properties Page” on page 2-60).
QLogic OptionROM at POST
When you first start the host server that contains 8200 and 3200 Series Adapters,
the power-on self test (POST) starts. Running the POST test gives you access to
the OptionROM utility.
To set up NPAR using OptionROM:
1. When the screen prompts you to enter the setup menu (Figure 2-23) during
the POST test, press Ctrl+Q to enter the OptionROM setup.
