QLogic 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter and CNA for IBM

BladeCenter

IBM Redbooks Product Guide

The QLogic 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter and Virtual Fabric CNA for IBM® BladeCenter® are based on

the third-generation QLogic Converged Network Adapter (CNA) 8200 ASIC, which supports simultaneous

LAN (TCP/IP) and SAN (Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), iSCSI) traffic at line-rate, 10 Gbps Ethernet

speed. This convergence of networking traffic can lower data center costs by eliminating the need for

separate LAN and SAN infrastructure. Data centers now need fewer adapters, cables, and switches,

which also means reduced management, power, and cooling costs.

The QLogic 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter is shown in the following figure.

Did you know

QLogic 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapters can operate in pNIC mode as regular 10Gb Ethernet adapters, or in

switch-independent vNIC mode (NIC partitioning - NPAR) where they can be divided into up to eight

virtual adapters each (up to four vNICs per physical port).

When QLogic 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapters operate as CNA, they can concurrently support multiple

protocols, such as running IP, iSCSI, and FCoE on the same port at the same time.

QLogic 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapters support full hardware offload for IP, FCoE, and iSCSI protocol

processing. This feature frees up the server’s CPU to perform other tasks. Consequently, the server’s

applications can run faster and virtualized servers can support more virtual machines.
