15.10 Setting the
IscsiOffloadMode
Attribute
The SetAttribute() method is used to set or change the value of a CNA attribute. Enable the
NICMode,
IscsiOffloadMode
, and
FcoeOffloadMode
personality attributes to enable the
corresponding
personalities: NIC, ISCSI, and FCOE.
For Broadcom CNA cards, the partitions on each port can be set to any personality. NICMode can
always be enabled or disabled for any of the given partitions. For the
IscsiOffloadMode
and
FcoeOffloadMode
personalities, up to two personalities can be enabled on each port.
For the Qlogic CNA cards, partition three can be set to either
NICMode
or
IscsiOffloadMode
.
Partition four can be set to either
NICMode
or
FcoeOffloadMode
.
Invoke the SetAttribute() method with the following parameters (from Section 15.1) and syntax:
Target: FQDD attained through
DCIM_NICEnumeration
AttributeName: Attained from
AttributeName
field
AttributeValue: A new value to assign to the specified
NICAttribute
. If this value is valid, it is
applied to the
PendingValue
property or the
Currentvalue
property of the specified
NICAttribute
. Possible choices are attained from
PossibleValues
field, such as:
Possible values: Disabled, Enabled
