C H A P T E R HBA Overview This chapter provides a basic overview of the single and dual port Sun StorageTek 8 Gb FC PCI-Express host bus adapter (HBA), which uses QLogic technology. This chapter also describes the various operating systems, host platforms, storage, and infrastructure configurations that support the HBA and lists the HBA environmental requirements.
HBA Features and Specifications The Sun StorageTek 8 Gb FC PCI-Express HBA (single port: SG-XPCIE1FC-QF8-Z, dual port: SG-XPCIE2FC-QF8-Z) consists of a PCI-Express Small Form Factor HBA. The board interfaces an eight-lane PCI-Express bus, with the eight lanes supporting either one or two Fibre Channel (FC) optical media ports. Each independent FC port operates at 8 Gbit/sec and features 8/4/2 autonegotiation.
