Configuring NPar

NPar support provides the ability to configure multiple physical functions or I/O

partitions for each physical adapter port.

Notes:

The settings in this menu can only be configured when the virtualization mode

is set to “NPar”. Otherwise, the settings in this menu are for display purposes

only.

When NPar support is enabled, you must configure the NPar settings

(minimum and maximum bandwidths) for iSCSI and FCoE storage functions in

the NIC BIOS before they can be configured further from their respective

utilities (iSCSI or FCoE BIOS). Otherwise, the Logical Link for that function will

still show as down, and you will not be able to log into targets or find LUNs

behind those targets.

To configure NPar:
1. From Port Menu (Figure H-4), select 1. NPar Configuration and press <Enter>. The

Partition List screen appears.
