10GigEthr-03 (iocxgbe) B.11.31.1103 Ethernet Driver Release Notes

Workaround: None. This problem will be corrected in a future release of the 10GigEthr-03
bundle.
• Incomplete device configuration in a blade environment causes device initialization failures.
When an NC551m is configured with a VC-capable interconnect module but all functions
are not defined in the VC profile, some Ethernet functions might be configured incorrectly and
will be unusable. NWMGR shows these functions having a zero MAC address with a “link
down” status. This problem might occur in multi-blade system configurations, typically COP2
systems, and only on the monarch blade.
This problem will be corrected in a future release of the 10GigEthr-03 bundle.
Workaround: Configure all functions with the VC manager in the system profile.
• • Multi-queue operation is not available on all functions.
Severity: Medium
Multi-queue enables traffic to be partitioned across CPUs. This device supports only receive
multi-queue operation. Multiple queues are supported only on the primary function for each
port: function 0 (port 0) and function 1 (port 1).
The iocxgbe driver sets the default number of receive queues for each of these functions to
1. This default might change in a future release. The number of queues for each remaining
function is 1 and will remain at 1.
