Viewing resource reservations
Resource Reservation information is only available for certain adapters and VBD drivers. Not all offload
technologies are available with all adapters.
The Resource Reservations section shows the number of connections allocated to an offload technology.
TOE and iSCSI
TOE and iSCSI can only be configured on certain adapters and require a license key. License keys are
preprogrammed in the hardware.
•
TOE enables accelerating TCP over 2.5 GbE and 10 GbE.
•
iSCSI offload enables accelerating network storage access featuring centralized boot functionality
(iSCSI boot).
The number of unlicensed resources and unallocated resources is also viewable.

iSCSI protocol to offload network processing from the CPU to a Broadcom-based network adapter. This
procedure does not apply to iSCSI-booted adapters.
