Personality Changes
Based on your operating environment, you can use your preferred management tool to change or disable
PCI functions on either physical port. Using this feature lets you divide each physical port into up to four
partitions, configured to support one of the following PCI function types: NIC, FCoE, or iSCSI.
Table 6 shows the port identifications and the possible NPAR configurations.
