Managing Network Adapters

Managing vHBAs

Procedure

 

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

Server# scope chassis

Enters the chassis command mode.

Step 2

Server /chassis # show adapter

(Optional) Displays the available adapter devices.

Step 3

Server /chassis # scope adapter

Enters the command mode for the adapter card at the PCI

 

index

slot number specified by index.

 

 

Note

The server must be powered on before you can view

 

 

 

or change adapter settings.

Step 4

Server /chassis/adapter # set

Enables or disables FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP) on

 

fip-mode {disable enable}

the adapter card. FIP is enabled by default.

 

 

Note

We recommend that you disable this option only

 

 

 

when explicitly directed to do so by a technical

 

 

 

support representative.

Step 5

Server /chassis/adapter # set

Enables or disables Network Interface Virtualization (NIV)

 

niv-mode {disable enable}

on the adapter card. NIV is disabled by default.

 

 

If NIV mode is enabled, vNICs:

 

 

• Can be assigned to a specific channel

 

 

• Can be associated with a port profile

 

 

• Can fail over to another vNIC if there are

 

 

 

communication problems

Step 6

Server /chassis/adapter #

If NIV mode is enabled, port-countspecifies the number of

 

configure-vmfex port-count

VM FEX interfaces you want CIMC to create, from 0 to 112.

Step 7

Server /chassis/adapter # commit

Commits the transaction to the system configuration.

This example configures the properties of adapter 1:

Server# scope chassis

adapter 1

Server /chassis # scope

Server /chassis/adapter

# set fip-mode enable

Server

/chassis/adapter

*# commit

Server

/chassis/adapter

Managing vHBAs

Guidelines for Managing vHBAs

When managing vHBAs, consider the following guidelines and restrictions:

•The Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card and Cisco UCS VIC1225 Virtual Interface Card provide two vHBAs (fc0 and fc1). You can create up to 16 additional vHBAs on these adapter cards.
