Dell Networking S5000: Deployment of a Converged Infrastructure with FCoE

Dell QLogic QLE8262

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 QLE8262 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 will use a Dell PowerEdge R720 server with a Dell QLogic QLE8262 CNA and Microsoft
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise installed. By default, only the NIC functionality is enabled. FCoE
must be manually enabled on the CNA for the virtual HBA ports to be identified in Windows. The
configuration of the CNA for FCoE is shown in Figure 93 and Figure 94.
Once the Dell QLogic QLE8262 drivers and QConvergeConsole CLI are installed, double click the
QConvergeConsole CLI shortcut in Windows and configure the CNA as shown below. You can see
that 'function 6' on 'port 1' and 'function 7' on 'port 2' have been configured to handle FCoE.
