1 vCenter Server Plug-in
Overview
The vCenter Server Plug-in provides the ability to manage Marvell Fibre Channel
Adapters, Converged Network Adapters, Intelligent Ethernet Adapters, and
connected devices within a VMware vCenter Server environment. This plug-in is
part of the Marvell QConvergeConsole suite of management tools, which includes
the QConvergeConsole Web-based GUI and the QConvergeConsole CLI for
other operating system environments. The plug-in provides an interactive GUI that
is similar to the QConvergeConsole Web-based tool.
Features
The vCenter Server Plug-in allows users to centrally manage Marvell QLogic
Fibre Channel adapters, Converged Network Adapters, and Intelligent Ethernet
Adapters for all supported protocols on the QConvergeConsole page in VMware
vCenter Server. The management capabilities include:
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/ESXi environments.
Updating the adapter boot code and firmware for all supported adapters
Dynamic management of Marvell NIC partitioning (NPAR) for supported
Converged Network and Intelligent Ethernet adapters, including the ability to
modify partition function type and set quality of service (QoS).
Querying and modifying driver parameters for all supported protocols.
Viewing and managing initiators, targets, and LUNs for Fibre Channel,
FCoE, and iSCSI ports
Querying statistics, running diagnostics, and obtaining transceiver
information
