Emulex VFA III FCoE/iSCSI License for IBM System x (FOD) The Emulex VFA III FCoE/iSCSI License for IBM System x (part number 95Y3760) is an enhancement to the existing Virtual Fabric Adapter III portfolio. It will allow IBM clients to simplify their I/O infrastructure while also reducing overall hardware acquisition costs. Existing Virtual Fabric Adapter III clients can now deploy FCoE/ iscsi via the new software license key. Overview The Emulex VFA III FCoE/iSCSI License for IBM System x offers: Flexible deployment of FCoE/iSCSI and Ethernet via software key only for your existing Emulex 10GbE Virtual Fabric Adapter III for IBM System x (95Y3762) and Emulex 10GbE Integrated Virtual Fabric Adapter III for IBM System x (95Y3768) The ability to run multiple protocols (Ethernet, FCoE) on the same Emulex 10GbE Virtual Fabric Adapter III for IBM System x (95Y3762) and Emulex 10GbE Integrated Virtual Fabric Adapter III for IBM System x (95Y3768) Features and benefits Emulex VFA III FCoE/iSCSI License for IBM System x enables convergence of FCoE protocol with standard Ethernet traffic. By using the Virtual Fabric aspects, the 10 Gigabit interface can be partitioned into four logical NIC interfaces running Ethernet traffic, or the port can be assigned to transmit FCoE or iscsi. This consolidates the traffic of three types of protocols onto a single adapter. Fast and scalable True line-rate 10 Gb performance. FCoE / iscsi bandwidth provisioning from 100Mb/s to 10Gb/s enabling faster virtual machine (VM) booting and faster backup in case of disaster recovery. Clients can upgrade to FCoE / iscsi without losing their existing investment in switches and adapters. Flexible Each port operates anywhere between 100 Mb and 10 Gb and can run as Ethernet NIC, iscsi, or FCoE. The adapter offers an easy transition from 1 Gb to 10 GbE and to FCoE or iscsi. Reliable Intelligent Failure Monitoring enables automatic failover between physical or virtual ports in an event of uplink port failure. Recovery from failures is easy even when operating with virtual ports. The adapter uses proven Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel drivers for FCoE support.

9 IBM System x provides end-to-end testing for select iscsi and FCoE configurations. Refer to Intel Ethernet Controller I350 Dual 1Gb on board + Intel I-350 Embedded Dual Port GbE Activation for IBM System x (FoD) Overview This IBM server ships with four physical ports of 10/100/1000 based on Intel's I-350 Ethernet Controller. Two ports are active in the standard configuration, and the other two are dormant. Clients may purchase a license that will activate the dormant two ports by purchasing Intel I-350 Embedded Dual Port GbE Activation for IBM System x (FoD). This provides the client with a total of four ports of 10/100/1000 Ethernet without using any PCIe slots. Features at a glance: GigE Pay as you grow with IBM Feature on Demand. This nondisruptive enablement process is perfect for clients who require a low-cost 2-port GigE network solution that is included in the standard configuration. Those clients who desire the flexibility of adding additional ports, while not having to open the server and insert new adapters, will enjoy the convenience and practicality of this IBM solution. IBM's FoD will activate the two dormant ports on the server, bringing the total number of ports up to four while not using any PCIe slots. Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). The I350 supports the IEEE802.3az EEE standard so that during periods of low network activity, EEE reduces the power consumption of an Ethernet connection by negotiating with the switch port to transition to a low power idle (LPI) state. This reduces power to approximately 50% of its normal operating power, saving power on both the network and the switch ports. When increased traffic is detected, the controller and the switch quickly come back to full power to handle the increased traffic. EEE is supported for both 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. DMA Coalescing (DMAC). Typically, when a packet arrives, DMA calls are made to transfer the packet within the server. These calls "wake up" the processor, memory, and other system components from a lower power state in order to perform the tasks required to handle the incoming packet. LAN Acceleration. TCP stateless offloads such as TCP/IP checksum, TCP segmentation, Receive Side Coalescing (RSC), and Receive Side Scaling (RSS) iscsi accelerations benefit from CRC offloads as well as integrated host-based initiators running on the host processor. I/O Virtualization technologies such as VMDq (used in VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ) provide increased throughput and reduced CPU usage by offloading the network processing in the hypervisors. Flexible I/O Virtualization. The Intel I350 includes Virtualization Technology for connectivity (VT-c) to deliver I/O virtualization and QoS features designed directly into the silicon. Using VT-c, network connectivity models used by servers today evolve to more efficient models by providing port partitioning, multiple Rx/ Tx queues, and on-controller QoS functionality for both virtual and non-virtual servers. VMDq. VMDq works in conjunction with VMware NetQueue or Microsoft Virtual Machine Queues (VMQ), in their respective hypervisors, to use the on-controller sorting and queuing functionality for traffic steering and Rx/Tx round-robin scheduling for balanced bandwidth allocation across multiple transmit and receive queues. These technologies enable the hypervisor to represent a network port as multiple ports that are assigned to the VMs to improve overall performance of I/ O operations.
