Page 9: Hba Overview
C H A P T E R HBA Overview This chapter provides a basic overview of Oracle's StorageTek Dual 8Gb FC Dual GbE ExpressModule HBA, which uses Emulex (now Broadcom) technology. This chapter also describes the various operating systems, host platforms, storage, and infrastructure configurations that support the HBA. - Page 10 HBA Features and Specifications The HBA is also backward compatible with FC ports that operate at 4 and 2 Gbit/second. The Gigabit Ethernet ports can be configured to operate in 10-, 100-, or 1000-Mbit/second Ethernet networks. Table 1, “HBA Features and Specifications,” on page 10 for a list of the HBA features.
