Adapter Configuration
Use the Adapter Configuration section to configure the following:
 Changing between Single Function and Multi-Function
 Configuring SR-IOV
 Configuring protocols (578xx/41000 Series Adapters)
 For Multi-Function, configuring flow control and bandwidth
 Configuring Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) (41000 Series
Adapters only)
Configuring the Adapter Using the vSphere Web Client Plug-in
The Adapter Configuration section also has the following options:
 Edit opens the Adapter Configuration dialog box where you can change the
adapter to Single Function or Multi-Function, as shown in Figure 11-9.
 Save saves the configuration.
 Cancel closes the Adapter Configuration dialog box without submitting the
changes.
NOTE
 You can configure the protocols (iSCSI and FCoE for 578xx/41000
Series Adapters) and SR-IOV (and in the case of the
Multi-Function mode, flow control and bandwidth).
 In Multi-Function mode, each port may have up to two storage
protocols assigned to it with each function having either iSCSI or
FCoE as shown in Figure 11-9 (578xx Series Adapters).
 There can only be up to two iSCSI functions or one iSCSI function
with one FCoE function on each port (578xx Series Adapters).
 Minimum bandwidth for all functions on the same port must all be 0
or total 100%.
 The 41000 Series Adapters can have up to 16 functions
configured. The following shows how some of the functions work:
 Functions 0 and 1 cannot have storage protocols configured.
 Functions 2 and 3 can be configured for FCoE protocol.
 Functions 4 and 5 can be configured for iSCSI protocol.
 If RDMA is available on a 41000 Series Adapter, you can enable
RoCE or iWARP.
