Overview
FCoE converged network adapters (CNAs) are similar to Fibre
Channel adapters in that they require drivers in order to function in a
Windows server. However, because of its ability to converge both
Fibre Channel and Ethernet traffic over a single physical link, the
adapter will appear to the Windows server as two different pieces of
hardware. When viewing the Windows Device Manager, you will see
both a QLogic Fibre Channel adapter as well as an Intel 10 Gigabit
network adapter available in the system, as shown in Figure 69 on
page 92.
