15 NIC or CNA Card Management

This feature provides the ability to get and set the Network Interface (NIC) Card or Converged Network

Adapter (CNA) attributes that are configurable using NIC/CNA Option-ROM or NIC/CNA UEFI HII. The

attributes include functionalities for the following:

 Partition and personality (CNA only)

 iSCSI boot and PXE boot that are part of the NIC/CNA firmware

The ability to configure CNAs has been added to the NIC profile that extends the management capabilities

of the referencing profiles. The NICs/CNAs are modeled as views with collections of attributes where there

is a view for each partition on the controller.

The NIC or CNA Inventory has the following classes and views:

 DCIM_NICEnumeration, (see Section 15.1)

 DCIM_NICString (see Section 15.2)

 DCIM_NICInteger (see Section 15.3)

 DCIM_NICView (see Section 15.4)

 DCIM_NICCapabilities(see Section 15.5)

 DCIM_NICStatistics(see Section 15.6)
