Added Features

Performance Features

• Doubling the maximum FC link rate from 8GFC to 16GFC and enhanced virtualization capabilities, help support IT “green” initiatives.
• Frame-level multiplexing and out-of-order frame reassembly increases link efficiency and maximizes HBA performance.

Data Protection Features

• End-to-end data protection with hardware parity, CRC, ECC and other advanced error checking and correcting algorithms ensure data is safe from corruption.
• Enhanced silent data corruption protection provided by T10 Protection Information (T10 PI) with high performance offload. T10 PI provides additional protection against corruption in Oracle Unbreakable Linux environments.

Deployment and Management Features

• Universal boot capability allows the appropriate boot environment to be automatically selected for any given hardware.
• Boot from SAN capability reduces system management costs and increases uptime.
• Detailed, real-time event logging and tracing enables quick diagnosis of SAN problems.
• Beaconing feature flashes the HBA LEDs, simplifying their identification within server racks.
• Environmental monitoring feature helps optimize SAN availability.

Management Features

• The Emulex OneCommand Manager application enables centralized discovery, monitoring, reporting, and administration of HBAs and UCNAs provided by Emulex on local and remote hosts. Powerful automation capabilities facilitate remote driver parameter, firmware and boot code upgrades.
• Advanced diagnostic features, such as adapter port beaconing and adapter statistics, help optimize management and network performance, while the environmental monitoring feature helps to maintain optimum host-to-fabric connections. In addition to the GUI interface, management functions can also be performed via a scriptable Command Line Interface (CLI) as well as a web browser.
• Emulex’s management instrumentation complies to open management standards, such as SMI-S and common HBA API support, which enables seamless upward integration into enterprise storage and server management solutions.
