2–Configuring NIC
NIC Partitioning (NPAR)
2-52 SN0054671-00 B
For procedures on installing and starting this management tool, refer to the
QConvergeConsole User's Guide. For help configuring and managing the 8200
and 3200 Series Adapters using this management tool, refer to the
QConvergeConsole online help system.
To set up NIC partitions using the QCC GUI:
1. Configure NIC Partitions
2. Set Up Quality of Service (QoS)
Configure NIC Partitions
You can use QCC to configure and manage NPAR functions for both physical
ports through the NIC Partitioning tab, available only on Port 1. You can enable or
disable NPAR functions on either physical port and must reboot the operating
system to apply the changes. When the NPAR function is enabled, each physical
port divides its bandwidth
function between four physical functions or physical
PCIe functions, configured to support one of the following function types: NIC,
FCoE, or iSCSI. QCC represents each function type as a personality.
For tables that show the default NPAR function settings, as well as the possible
configurations, see “NPAR Setup” on page 2-68.
Table 2-5 shows the port identifications and the possible NPAR configurations.
To configure the NIC partitions and change personalities:
1. Expand a 8200 and 3200 Series Adapters node in the QConvergeConsole
system tree.
2. Expand the physical Port 1 node and select the NIC port. The content pane
displays two additional tabs that are not available on NIC ports for physical
Port 2.
