Introduction

Performing a local boot with an FCoE-enabled

network adapter

This guide details FCoE configuration of Broadcom-based, HP FlexFabric and StoreFabric adapters to

perform a local boot only.
Certain adapters might support both hardware-accelerated FCoE and hardware-accelerated iSCSI protocols

on the adapter ports. For any setup and configuration requirements specific to an adapter, see the
documentation for that adapter. To configure a boot from SAN for a remote boot, see the HP Boot from SAN

Configuration Guide (

About Broadcom-based, multi-function device drivers

Broadcom-based, multi-function devices use a tiered driver model, and the driver components contain
multiple drivers that support the device. The component version is the virtual bus driver version as contained

in the component. The virtual bus driver is a system device listed under Device Manager. The network device

is a separate driver that is also contained in the component. The network device version is different from the

component version. NCU device properties display both driver versions, and the driver versions are also
listed in Device Manager.
