NIC Personality Options

NOTE:

This option is supported only on select HP CNA devices.

HP Virtual Connect profile settings take precedence over the NIC Personality option settings.

For some systems with a Converged Network Adapter (CNA), the protocols can be configured
using the NIC Personality Options. (CNAs are sometimes referred to as FlexFabric Adapters.) If
an adapter that is supported for use with this option is not present, this menu option does not
appear.

Before configuring protocol settings, certain CNAs require the Network Boot option to be enabled.
If the protocol settings are configured without enabling network boot for these adapters, the protocol
settings may not be saved. After the server reboots and the protocol settings are active, the Network
Boot option can be disabled. For information on enabling network boot, see
