Configuration tab is displayed.
Configuring OCe14000–Series Adapters
When you select an OCe14000-series adapter from the discovery-tree, the Adapter
Configuration tab is displayed. The type of information that appears depends on the
what protocols and capabilities are available on the adapter. (The IPL defines the
protocols and capabilities.)
For all adapters except NPar, there are three configuration modes available:

Single personality – Select a single protocol (along with NIC, or NIC-only) to
run on all ports on the adapter.

Custom – Choose the protocols to run on each port independently. Custom
configuration is available if the adapter is capable of mixed or concurrent mode
storage.

Multichannel – View the channel properties and change the configurable
properties (based on the multichannel type).
For NPar, the adapter is either running with NPar disabled (the adapter is running
as a single NIC function on each port), or with NPar enabled, which can be similar
to a multichannel configuration or a storage channel configuration.
