10GigEthr-03 overview Bundle description The 10GigEthr-03 bundle contains the iocxgbe driver, which supports the following products: PCIe 10 GbE card PCIe 10GbE CNA / Fibre PCIe 10 GbE mezzanine card Channel Combo Cards AT118A NC552m 1 PCIe 10 GbE CNA mezzanine cards AT094A1 NC551m AT111A NC553m HP has not tested DIO functionality on the AT094A adapter; consequently, HP does not support DIO with this adapter.
CNA overview The CNA is a PCIe device that can be configured by HP-UX as a number of LAN devices depending on the system configuration. Most CNAs are dual-ported. Each port represents a single wired connection to a piece of network hardware, as follows: • In a Blade Virtual Connect environment, the CNA is configured in Flex-10 mode. Each port is logically divided into as many as four individual devices, which share the total bandwidth of the network connection.
NOTE: Because DIO functionality has not been tested with the AT094A adapter, HP does not support DIO with this particular adapter. • PCI error handling and recovery Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) failures account for a significant percentage of errors in computer systems.
Known problems and limitations The following problems are known to exist in version B.11.31.1203.02: • Problems occur when using SNAP (Sub-Network Access Protocol) encapsulation with VLANs. (QXCR1001061473) Severity: Medium SNAP encapsulation enables protocols such as TCP/IP to use an IEEE802.3 SNAP header. This protocol works correctly for non-VLAN devices.
Software availability in native languages The 10GigEthr-03 product is available only in the English language.
