Virtual Network Adapter Partitioning

Various IBM adapters can present a single Ethernet link to the server operating system as if it were different

physical adapters. This capability allows bare-metal servers and hypervisors to offer multiple NICs and adapters

while physically having a pair of high-bandwidth links. This feature provides the flexibility to limit the bandwidth

allocated to each virtual adapter without the need for a server administrator to know the network QoS

configuration parameters.

To configure the virtual adapter function, follow this procedure:

1. Install the license.

2. Configure the virtual network adapters.

3. Configure the switch interface for the correct VLANs.
