Server management 107
In the first example, a profile with eight Ethernet and two FCoE connections is assigned to a server with a 1
Gb LOM and a dual-port 57711 Broadcom MEZ card in MEZ1 and a CNA in MEZ2. The results of the
mapping algorithm are shown in Table 2. Each 1 Gb LOM port will only have one connection assigned.

In the second example, a profile with two iSCSI, ten Ethernet and two FCoE connections is assigned to a
server with a Flex-10 LOM and NC551m dual-port MEZZ card in MEZZ1 and MEZZ2. The results of the
mapping algorithm are shown in Table 3.

The third example is similar to the second except that the LOM is the NC551i. Here there are ten Ethernet,
one iSCSI and four FCoE connections. The second PF on MEZZ2:Port 2 has to be enumerated as iSCSI since
the corresponding PF on port 1 is iSCSI. But, since there is only one iSCSI connection defined in the Profile,
the second PF on MEZZ2:Port 2 will be disabled.

Bandwidth assignment
In Flex-10 environments, four FlexNICs must share a single 10Gb link. Each FlexNIC is allocated a portion
of that 10Gb link's bandwidth. The bandwidth assigned to the four FlexNICs in a single physical port cannot
exceed 10Gb, but the requested bandwidth settings specified by the user might exceed 10Gb.
Each FlexNIC is assigned a bandwidth value that is a portion of a 10Gb link. A 10Gb NIC might not be able
to saturate a 10Gb link, so FlexNIC bandwidth is limited to a proportion of the NIC's actual throughput. For
