A–NIC Partitioning (NPAR) OverviewNPAR SetupA-8 SN0054667-00 CNPAR SetupThis section provides NPAR reference tables you can use when configuring NICpartitions using QConvergeConsole CLI.Default SettingsBefore configuring NIC partitions, the QLogic Adapter appears as a simpledual-port 10GbE adapter with NPAR settings shown in the following table.Configuration OptionsDepending on your system requirements and operating environment, you may setup the adapter port partitions to support different function types. The followingtable shows the available function types and configurable parameters.Table A-2.

The total acrossall partitions will add up to less than the maximum link bandwidth. The queue’s rate will be allowed to exceed thespecified value up to max-rate, if excess bandwidth is available on the physical port link.MaximumBandwidthb(%)DefaultFunction Type0 NIC 0 0 100 NIC1 NIC 1 0 100 NIC2 Disabled/NIC 0 0 100 NIC3 Disabled/NIC 1 0 100 NIC4 iSCSI/NIC/Disabled 0 0 100 iSCSI5 iSCSI/NIC/Disabled 1 0 100 iSCSI6 FCoE/NIC/Disabled 0 0 100 FCoE7 FCoE/NIC/Disabled 1 0 100 FCoE
