Adapter Commands: Updating Flash Firmware
Use the Adapter Commands section to update the flash firmware on the adapter.
Click Update Adapter Flash Image to open a dialog box and select the firmware
file. After selecting the file that is appropriate for the adapter, the adapter is
updated.
Configuring the Flow Control, Protocol, and Bandwidth
To configure the partition protocol and bandwidth settings:
1. In the Adapter Configuration pane, click Configure Partition Protocol and
Bandwidth.
2. In the NIC Partition Configuration dialog box:
 Select settings for flow control for each port.
 Select the protocol and bandwidth for each function.
Figure 5-5 shows an example for an 578xx Series Adapter.
NOTE
 Each port may have up to two storage protocols assigned to it, with each
function having either iSCSI or FCoE (578xx/41000 Series Adapters).
 Each port can have up to two iSCSI functions, or one iSCSI function with
one FCoE function. The minimum bandwidth for all functions on the
same port must all be 0 or total 100 percent.
 Use the Adapter Commands section to update the flash firmware on
the adapter (if available for the adapter).
 The 41000 Series Adapters can have up to 16 functions configured. The
following shows how some of the functions work (on a dual port
adapter):
 Functions 0 and 1 cannot have storage protocols configured.
 Functions 2 and 3 can be configured for FCoE protocol.
 Functions 4 and 5 can be configured for iSCSI protocol.
 If RDMA is available on a 41000 Series Adapter, you can enable RDMA
over converged Ethernet (RoCE) or Internet wide area RDMA protocol
(iWARP).
