DCB Tab Button

The Configure DCB button allows you to configure the DCB parameters.

Configuring Physical Port DCB Parameters

The DCB Configuration dialog box allows you to configure physical port DCB

parameters. While there are eight ETS Priority Groups in which the priorities can be

assigned, only two of those groups can be assigned priorities and bandwidths. The

FCoE priority is assigned to one Priority Group and the other seven (NIC) priorities

must be assigned to one and only one other Priority Group. If you are configuring

Priority Groups on a DCBX enabled switch, in order to work properly with the adapter

port, you should only configure two Priority Groups in the same way.
To configure DCB parameters for a physical port:
1. Select a host in the vSphere console tree-view and select the Emulex OneCommand

tab.

2. In the Emulex Device Management tree-view, select the physical port whose DCB

properties you want to configure.

3. Select the DCB tab.
4. Click Configure DCB. The DCB Configuration dialog box appears.
5. Configure the settings you want and click OK.
