(PCIe) that can have a device driver attached to it.

8200 and 8300 Series Converged Network Adapters NIC Partitioning Options The NPAR feature in QLogic adapters provides the ability to create multiple PCIe physical functions for each physical 10GbE port on the adapter. Each PCIe function appears as an independent interface to the host operating system or hypervisor.
Page 388
A–NIC Partitioning (NPAR) Overview NIC Partitioning Options Each physical port can have at most one iSCSI function and one FCoE function. Virtual Machine (VM) to VM Ethernet traffic between VMs on different vSwitches is routed via the eSwitch (on board the adapter) if the communicating VMs are attached to NIC partitions derived from the same physical port.
A–NIC Partitioning (NPAR) Overview Function Type Changes Function Type Changes Based on your operating environment, you can use your preferred management tool to change or disable PCI functions on either physical port. Using this feature lets you divide each physical port into up to four partitions, configured to support one of the following PCI function types: NIC, FCoE, or iSCSI.
Bandwidth Settings for DCBX and NPAR” on page A-10. Each physical port on a QLogic adapter can simultaneously send and receive data at up to 10Gbps in both directions. When the physical port is partitioned into four partitions, the port bandwidth is divided between each port partition according to traffic demands.
The ability to view eSwitch statistics depends on your operating environment and management tool. The QLogic drivers download the VM MAC addresses to the firmware. This function enables the firmware and hardware to switch the packets destined for VMs on the host.
This section provides NPAR reference tables that you can use when configuring NIC partitions using QConvergeConsole CLI. Default Settings Before configuring NIC partitions, the QLogic Adapter appears as a simple dual-port 10GbE adapter with NPAR settings, as shown in Table A-2.
Function Bandwidth Bandwidth Type (0–100%) (0–100%) QLogic QConvergeConsole CLI for supported Windows and Linux operating systems QLogic QConvergeConsole GUI for supported Windows and Linux operating systems Requires a system reboot to take effect. Refer to Table A-5 for the available function type options of each partition.
A–NIC Partitioning (NPAR) Overview Interoperation of Bandwidth Settings for DCBX and NPAR Interoperation of Bandwidth Settings for DCBX and NPAR If you want to run iSCSI and NIC traffic together, DCBX can be used to set the bandwidth percentage to be shared among the iSCSI and NIC. If you want to run partitioned NIC traffic, NPAR should be used to set the percentage of bandwidth that will be shared among the multiple NIC partitions.
