QConvergeConsole (QCC) GUI
The QConvergeConsole is a web-based client/server application that allows for centralized management
and configuration of QLogic adapters within the entire network (LAN and SAN). On the server side,
QConvergeConsole runs as an Apache Tomcat Server web application. After the application is launched
on the web server, you can connect to QConvergeConsole's GUI through a browser, either locally on the
server or remotely from another computer. Your browser window becomes the client used to connect to
servers that host the 8200 and 3200 Series Adapters and connected storage devices within the network.
You can use QCC GUI to configure and manage 8200 and 3200 Series Adapters installed on either Linux
or Windows host servers.
For procedures on installing and starting this management tool, refer to the QConvergeConsole User's
Guide . For help configuring and managing the 8200 and 3200 Series Adapters using this management
tool, refer to the QConvergeConsole online help system.
To set up NIC partitions using the QCC GUI:
1. Configure NIC Partitions
2. Set Up Quality of Service (QoS)
Configure NIC Partitions You can use QCC to configure and manage NPAR functions for both physical
ports through the NIC Partitioning tab, available only on Port 1. You can enable or disable NPAR functions
on either physical port and must reboot the operating system to apply the changes. When the NPAR
function is enabled, each physical port divides its bandwidth
function between four physical functions or
physical PCIe functions, configured to support one of the following function types: NIC, FCoE, or iSCSI.
QCC represents each function type as a
personality .
For tables that show the default NPAR function settings, as well as the possible configurations, see “NPAR
Setup” on page 69.
Table 6 shows the port identifications and the possible NPAR configurations.
To configure the NIC partitions and change personalities:
1. Expand a 8200 and 3200 Series Adapters node in the QConvergeConsole system tree.
2. Expand the physical Port 1 node and select the NIC port. The content pane displays two additional tabs
that are not available on NIC ports for physical Port 2.
