This value will limit the maximum port speed of the server’s FlexHBA associated with this FCoE network.
Note: With 2 x 10Gb uplinks per VC module connected to a Top of Rack switch using 50/50 bandwidth share and 16
servers using the FCoE network, it might be necessary to limit the maximum connection speed to get a reasonable
FCoE over-subscription:
o For a 2:1 oversubscription, use 1.3Gb
o For a 4:1 oversubscription, use 2.5Gb
o For a 8:1 oversubscription, use 5Gb
o For a 16:1 oversubscription, use 10Gb
Repeat the same steps for other FCoE networks.
