Operating Protocol Mode Configuration
This chapter describes how to identify the current operating protocol mode of the universal
HBA and how to change the universal HBA operating protocol mode, if needed. If you choose
to change the HBA from its base version to another configuration, use the information in
this chapter to manually configure the system to recognize the new operating protocol mode
that corresponds to the configuration of the universal HBA. In addition, this chapter provides
information about SR-IOV/FC-IOR support.
This chapter contains the following sections:

About the Operating Protocol Mode
The universal HBA has two operating protocol modes:
Fibre Channel (FC) Only
■
Converged Network Adapter (CNA) (or, FCoE)
■
The operating protocol mode determines how the system recognizes the universal HBA
configuration that you choose to implement.
Whenever you change the configuration of the universal HBA, you must ensure that the
correct operating protocol mode (FC Only or CNA) is associated with the new universal HBA
configuration on the system.
