Hardware Requirements of Ethernet PCI Adapters
Requirements and configuration procedures for the embedded Ethernet PCI adapters are similar to the procedures for the other Ethernet PCI adapters.
Hardware Requirements of Ethernet PCI Adapters
For fault tolerance, install Ethernet PCI adapters that are in the same team in different I/O elements. Although teamed Ethernet PCI adapters in the same I/O element are marked as duplexed in ftSMC, they are not fault tolerant. If the I/O element fails, or if you remove the physical enclosure that contains the adapters (in a system with more than one enclosure), network connectivity is lost.
