Product Overview: AD337A and AD338A
Product Overview: AD337A and AD338A
Product Overview: AD339A
The AD339A (copper) PCIe 4-port Gigabit Ethernet LAN cards have the following features and requirements:
•
Complies with PCIe Base Specification Rev. 1.0a or later.
•
For HP-UX 11i v2, the software driver required for this card begins shipping with the HP-UX 11i v2 OE of
December 2007.
For HP-UX 11i v3, the software driver required for this card begins shipping with the HP-UX 11i v3 OE of
March 2008.
Once the driver has been released on the OE, it will also be available on the twice yearly application
software media.
For systems that are already running the HP-UX 11i v2 or 11i v3 OE, you can either just load the
required software driver bundle (IEther-00), or you can load the entire OE and /or application software
and you will automatically get the driver you need for this card.
•
Supports Jumbo Frames. Because Jumbo frames reduce a server’s CPU processing of network packets,
efficiency increases especially for heavy traffic. The same amount of data can be transferred in less
frames. The Jumbo Frame maximum transmission unit (MTU) size is from 1501 to 9000 bytes.
•
Supports HP Serviceguard for high availability and Auto-Port Aggregation (APA) for load balancing
and single-system failover.
•
Supports virtual LANs (VLANs) for increased flexibility. A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical or virtual
network segment that can span multiple physical network segments. VLANs also more efficiently use switches and
end-stations by sending broadcasts and multicasts only to the intended nodes. For more information on this feature,
please see Using HP-UX VLANs on http://docs.hp.com.
•
Supports PCIe online addition/replacement (OLA/R) on specified systems. For instructions on performing
OL* for Itanium-based systems running HP-UX 11i v 2.0 of September 2004 or later, refer to the Interface
Card OL* Support Guide. Also supports online deletion on HP-UX 11i v3. The AD339A does not support
online addition, replacement, and deletion (OL*) when the card is in the shared slots (slots 3, 4) of rx3600
and rx6600 servers. The card can still be placed in those shared slots as long as no OL* is performed.
•
Supports configuration through:
— System Management Homepage (SMH) or command line nwmgr (for HP-UX 11i v3).
— GUI-based system administration manager (SAM) (for HP-UX 11i v2).
•
Online/Offline Diagnostics.
•
Ignite-UX support.
•
Supports vPars on HP-UX 11i v2 and 11i v3. Enables creation of additional partitions per server.
•
Card resident EFI driver version 3.2.06 or later. Please see the “Known Issues on AD339A” for details on
known problems with the EFI driver of AD339A.
•
On board Checksum Offload (CKO) to enhance server efficiency and performance over TCP, UDP, and
IPv4.
•
IPv4 TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO). TSO, also known as “large send” enables a system’s protocol stack
to offload portions of outbound TCP processing to a network interface card thereby reducing system CPU
utilization and enhancing performance.
•
LAN boot support on HP Integrity systems. Please see the “Known Issues on AD339A” for details on a
known problem with the LAN boot of AD339A.
