7 vSphere Web Client Plug-in
Overview
The vSphere Web Client Plug-in configures QLogic Fibre Channel Adapters,
NICs, and Converged Network Adapters using a browser within a VMware
vSphere environment. This plug-in is part of the QConvergeConsole suite of
management tools. These tools include the QConvergeConsole Web-based GUI
and the QConvergeConsole CLI, which are used in operating system
environments other than vSphere, such as Windows and Linux.The plug-in
provides an interactive GUI that is similar to the QConvergeConsole Web-based
tool.
The VMware vCenter Server 6.5 added a new HTML5 based vSphere Client.
Marvell provides the new QConvergeConsole HTML5 based vSphere Client
Plug-in (HTML5 based vSphere Client Plug-in) with the same functionality and
workflow as the vSphere Web Client Plug-in for the 578xx/41000 Series Adapters.
In this chapter, vSphere Web Client Plug-in refers to both plug-ins, unless
otherwise noted.
Features
The vSphere Web Client Plug-in enables you to configure Marvell QLogic 2600
and 2700 Series Fibre Channel Adapters, 578xx and 41000 Series Intelligent
Ethernet Adapters, and 578xx and 41000 Series Converged Network Adapters in
the following ways:
Management for Fibre Channel, FCoE, iSCSI, and NIC adapters
Storage and network maps that provide an end-to-end view of the adapter
connections to the software and hardware components in the VMware ESX
and ESXi environments.
Dynamic management of NIC partitioning (NPAR) for supported Converged
Network and Intelligent Ethernet adapters, including the ability to modify the
partition function type.
Querying and modifying driver parameters for all supported protocols
