CIM Provider and vCenter Server Plug-in for VMware ESX/ESXi

The QConvergeConsole vCenter Server Plug-in provides a QConvergeConsole
tab you can use to manage the QLogic adapter in the VMware ESX/ESXi
environment.
Use the QConvergeConsole tab to do the following:
Enable or disable Switch Independent Partitioning

 Enable or disable functions
 Configure function personalities
 Configure the relative bandwidth of NIC functions
 View the eSwitch statistics
The default configuration of a QLogic adapter is a NIC function, iSCSI function,
and FCoE function. There is an additional NIC function that is disabled by default
but that you can enable as an option.
To configure Switch Independent Partitioning (called NPAR or NIC partitioning by
the plug-in), select a NIC port in the system tree and click NPAR in the content
pane. The content pane appears as shown in
