58 Dell Networking FC Flex IOM: Deployment of FCoE with Dell FC Flex IOM, Brocade FC switches,
and Dell Compellent Storage Array
Deployment/Configuration Guide
5 Dell IOA w/ FC Flex IOM Configuration
This example uses a similar topology as shown prior except instead of using the Dell MXLs in the Fabric
A blade slot, the Dell IOAs with FC Flex IOMs in the Fabric B slot of the M1000e chassis are used.
Another difference from the prior example in Section 4 is that instead of the Broadcom 57810 NDC
CNA in the Fabric A slot of the server, the QLogic QME8262-k mezzanine CNA adapter inserted in the
Fabric B slot of the server is used.
5.1 Dell QLogic QLE8262 CNA Configuration
The below shows an example of how to configure the QLogic QME8262-k mezzanine CNA adapter
from the QConvergeConsole CLI management application.
QLogic offers CNAs in three formats for Dell 12G servers: QLE8262 standard PCI Express, QME8262-k
mezzanine for Dell blade servers, and QMD8262-k for the Dell Network Daughter Card. The Dell
QLogic QME8262-k mezzanine CNA allows for up to four partitions per physical port and eight
partitions total per 2-port adapter. A partition can be looked upon as a virtual port.
This example displays Dell QLogic QME8262-k mezzanine CNA configuration in Microsoft Windows
Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. By default, only the NIC functionality is enabled. FCoE must be manually
enabled on the CNA for the virtual FCoE ports to be identified in Windows. The configuration of the
CNA for FCoE is shown in Figures 48 - 51.
1. Once the Dell QLogic QME8262-k mezzanine CNA drivers and QConvergeConsole CLI are
installed, double click the QConvergeConsole CLI shortcut in Windows and configure the CNA as
shown below in Figure 51.
You can see that function 6 on port 1 and function 7 on port 2 have been configured to handle
FCoE, function 0 on port 1 and function 1 on port 2 have been configured to handle LAN
traffic, and the other partitions have been disabled.
