1 Enhanced Ethernet features Drivers Three types of adapter drivers are provided in installation packages: • Storage driver - This is a unified driver that provides Fibre Channel frame transport for Brocade HBAs and FCoE transport for Brocade CNAs. The adapter logic detects either a FCoE or Fibre Channel network and the appropriate driver support is provided automatically. NOTE The unified storage driver will claim all installed Brocade Fiber Channel HBAs, as well as FCoE CNAs installed in a system.
Enhanced Ethernet features 1 Priority-based flow control Priority flow control pauses traffic based on the priority levels. A high-level pause algorithm follows: • During periods of heavy congestion, the receive buffers reach high threshold and generate a pause. • The pause tells transmission (Tx) queues to stop transmitting. • After the receive (Rx) buffers reach low threshold, a zero pause is generated. • The zero Pause signals the Tx queues to resume transmitting.
1 FCoE protocols supported FCoE protocols supported The Brocade FCoE converged network adapter supports two layers of protocols: Ethernet link layer and FCoE layer. They are listed in the following sections. Ethernet link layer protocols supported The following protocols support the Ethernet link layer. • • • • • • • • • • • • • 802.1q (VLAN) 802.1Qaz (enhanced transmission selection) 802.1Qbb (priority flow control) 802.3ad (link aggregation) 802.3ae (10 Gb Ethernet) 802.

HCM software launch 3 Changing an HCM application password You can change the default password of the application to a different password using the Change HCM Password dialog. Note the following when you change a password: • You must validate your user identity by supplying your old password before you can change to a new password. The new password must be different than the old password. • The password can begin with an alphabetic, numeric, or special character.
3 HCM software launch Changing an HCM agent password You can change the default password of the agent to a different password using the Change HCM Agent Password dialog. Note the following when you change a password: • You must validate your user identity by supplying your old password before you can change to a new password. The new password must be different than the old password. • The password can begin with an alphabetic, numeric, or special character.
HCM software launch 3 Resetting a password or restoring a factory default password After a successful installation, copy the /data/noitacitnehtua.properties file to your personal folder so that, in case the password is lost, you can overwrite the noitacitnehtua.properties file in the data folder with the local copy. This restores the factory default user name (Administrator) and password (password).
3 HCM main window HCM main window From the Host Connectivity Manager main window, you can manage all the adapters installed in this computer. Alternatively you can manage adapters installed in remote computers, if the computers are networked. Only one host can be managed at a time; multiple host management is not supported.
HCM product icons 3 HCM product icons On the left side of the Host Connectivity Manager, there is a navigation tree for representing the managed host with adapters and ports. Each tree node has an icon to represent the type of node. If the operational status is offline, link-down, or error, a small red diamond appears on the upper right corner of the icon. Table 6 shows the product icons that represent the components that HCM manages.
3 Discovery Discovery Discovery enables you to contact the adapters present in a specified host in your SAN. The setup discovery profile is saved in the SetupDiscovery.properties file to remember the history of each host and related attributes of discovered hosts. When you log in to HCM, the specified host is automatically contacted (discovered) and displayed on the navigation tree. By default, the local host is automatically contacted (discovered) and displayed on the navigation tree.
Logging off HCM 3 2. From the Host Name list, select the host name from where you will discover the adapter. For the first time, the Host Name list will contain only the Local host. You must specify the Hostname or the IP address for discovering the remote servers. Only previously-discovered servers are available in the Host Name list. 3. Type the port number in the Port Number text box. The default is 34568. 4. Type in the user ID and password that will authenticate the SAN product with the agent.
