Abstract
The QLogic 16 Gb FC Single-port and Dual-port Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) are sixth generation Fibre Channel Adapters. They offer 16 Gbps line-rate performance at extremely low CPU utilization with full hardware offloads. Support for powerful virtualization features make this adapter ideal for virtualized environments that need excellent input/output (I/O) performance to service growing numbers of virtual machines (VMs).

Introduction
The QLogic 16Gb FC Single-port and Dual-port Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) for System x® are sixth generation Fibre Channel Adapters. They offer 16 Gbps line-rate performance at extremely low CPU utilization with full hardware offloads. Support for powerful virtualization features make this adapter ideal for virtualized environments that need excellent I/O performance to service growing numbers of virtual machines (VMs).
Did you know?
Did you know that these QLogic adapters support nearly twice the throughput and 2.5 times the I/O operations per second (IOPS) per port compared to 8 Gb adapters? In addition, the adapters support both PCI Express 3.0 x4 or 2.0 x8 data transfer on the host side. The QLogic 16 Gb HBAs are ideal for high bandwidth and I/O-intensive applications, such as media streaming, backup/recovery, data warehousing, OLTP, Microsoft® Exchange Server, and server virtualization. Through rigorous testing by Lenovo through the ServerProven® program, you can maintain a high degree of confidence that your System x server storage subsystem is compatible and functions reliably when using these 16 Gb HBA adapters.
Features
The QLogic 16Gb FC Single-port and Dual-port HBAs have the following features:
- Port architecture that offers independent functionality on each port -- independent CPU, isolated memory and independent firmware image -- provides higher reliability and predictable performance.
- Support for Message Signaled Interrupts eXtended (MSI-X) improves host utilization and enhances application performance.
- Support for 16 Gb, 8 Gb, and 4 Gb FC devices.
- Full hardware offload for Fibre Channel protocol.
- Support for PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 3.0 host interfaces.
- Comprehensive virtualization capabilities with support for N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) with 255 N_Port IDs per port.
- Host-to-fabric Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) authentication.
- A common driver model allows a single driver to support all QLogic HBAs on a given operating system.
- Universal boot capability allows the appropriate boot environment to be automatically selected for any given hardware.
- Boot from SAN capability reduces the system management costs and increases uptime.

Industry standards
- Current ANSI/IETF standards: FC-PI-4, FC-PI-5, FC-FS-2 with amendment 1, FC-AL-2 with amendments 1 and 2, FC-LS-2, FC-GS-6, FC-DA, FC-SP-2, FCP-4, FC-MJS, FC-SB-4, FC-SP, SPC-4, SBC-3, SSC-3, and RFC4338
- Legacy ANSI/IETF standards: FC-PH, FC-PH-2, FC-PH-3, FC-PI, FC-PI-2, FC-FS, FC-AL, FC-GS-2/3/4/5, FCP, FCP-2, FC-SB-2, FC-FLA, FC-HBA, FC-PLDA, FC-TAPE, FC-MI, SPC-3, SBC-2, SSC-2, and RFC2625
Management software
- The QLogic QConvergeConsole (QCC) management software delivers a unified web based single-pane-of-glass management console across the QLogic family of storage and networking adapters. A graphical user interface (GUI) or command line interface (CLI) are available. A VMware vCenter plug-in is also available.
- Common IT tasks, such as VLAN configuration and teaming, can be easily accomplished either through QConvergeConsole or through native OS tools, thereby minimizing IT training and deployment costs.
- Role-based authentication allows for separate logins and access for SAN and LAN administrators. This eliminates the need to change your organizational structure as you converge your network.
