10GigEthr-03 overview
Bundle description
The 10GigEthr-03 bundle contains the iocxgbe driver, which supports the following products:
PCIe 10GbE CNA / Fibre
PCIe 10 GbE CNA mezzanine
PCIe 10 GbE card
PCIe 10 GbE mezzanine card Channel Combo Cards
cards
AT118A
NC552m
AT094A1
NC551m
AT111A
NC553m
1 HP has not tested DIO functionality on the AT094A adapter; consequently, HP does not support DIO with this adapter.
Terminology
When referring to CNA (Converged Network Adapter) technology, the following terms are used:
Adapter
The CNA or combo card.
AVIO
Accelerated Virtual Input/Output. An I/O protocol that improves virtual I/O
performance for network and storage devices used within the HP Integrity VM
environment.
CNA
Converged Network Adapter. A computer input/output device that combines the
functionality of a host bus adapter (HBA) with a network interface controller (NIC).
In other words, it "converges" access to a storage area network and a
general-purpose computer network, respectively.
Device
The adapter as a whole, or an HP-UX device.
Card
The CNA or combo card, most often in reference to the hardware or to a specific
form factor (such as PCIe mezzanine).
DIO
The direct I/O networking feature that allows virtual machines to directly control
I/O devices, minimizing device emulation overhead that would be incurred with
AVIO.
FC
Fibre Channel. A gigabit-speed network technology used primarily for storage
networking.
FCoE
Fibre Channel over Ethernet. An encapsulation of Fibre Channel frames over Ethernet
networks that is independent of the Ethernet forwarding schemes and integrates with
existing Fibre Channel networks and management software. Computers connect to
FCoE through CNAs.
PCIe
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express. A computer expansion bus standard
that replaces older (such as PCI) bus standards to improvements such as a higher
maximum system bus throughput, a smaller physical footprint, better performance
scaling for bus devices, more detailed error detection and reporting, and native
hot-plug functionality. More recent revisions of the PCIe standard support hardware
I/O virtualization.
Port
The physical connection to the network. A CNA typically has two physical
connections; this configuration is often described as “dual-ported.”
Function
A PCIe function. Each function can be configured by HP-UX as a single device: an
FCoE device or a LAN device. HP-UX can configure a dual-ported CNA with as
many as 8 PCIe functions (up to four per port) . As many as two of these functions
can be FCoE devices (one per port); the remainder are NIC or LAN devices (up to
four per port).
NIC
Network Interface Card. A function or device that is configured as a network or
LAN device.
