Restrictions of the numbers of NIC ports assignment for Windows
•
When using Windows, there are restrictions in the maximum number of
the ports which can be assigned to one LPAR. When exceeding the
limitation, the following phenomena may occur.
– OS installation may fail or take so much time.
– Temporary link-down may occur during OS operation.
[Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2]
•
Up to eight ports can be assigned per core.
•
However, in case of Emulex 10Gb mezzanine LAN card, 4 times as many
CPU resources are consumed per single port, as compared with other
cards. When assigning ports of "Emulex 10Gb mezzanine LAN card",
count one port as four ports.
•
The relation between the number of processors and the maximum
number of card ports which can be assigned is shown below.
