QConvergeConsole 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 the 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 QLogic
adapters and connected storage devices within the network.
You can use the QConvergeConsole GUI tool to configure and manage QLogic
adapters installed on either Linux or Windows host servers.
For procedures on installing and starting this management tool, refer to
the QConvergeConsole GUI" on page
the adapter using this management tool, refer to the QConvergeConsole online
help system.
To set up NIC partitions using the QConvergeConsole GUI:

2. Set Up QoS
3. View eSwitch Configuration
Configure NIC Partitions
You can use QConvergeConsole to configure and manage Switch Independent
Partitioning functions for both physical ports through the NIC Partitioning tab. You
can enable or disable Switch Independent Partitioning functions on either physical
port and must reboot the operating system to apply the changes. When the Switch
Independent Partitioning function is enabled, each physical port divides its
bandwidth function among four physical functions or physical PCIe functions,
configured to support one of the following function types: NIC, FCoE, or iSCSI.
QConvergeConsole represents each function type as a personality.
NOTE
For tables that show the default Switch Independent Partitioning function
settings, as well as the possible configurations, see
Partitioning Setup" on page
To configure the NIC partitions and change personalities:
1. Expand an adapter 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.
