- Page 2 Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a standard developed by INCITS T11 that fully leverages the enhanced features of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) for I/O consolidation in the data center. The Emulex OneConnect Universal Converged Network Adapter (UCNA) is the first adapter to provide protocol offloads for TCP/IP, FCoE and iSCSI with a single product platform.
- Page 3 Emulex OneConnect FCoE CNA Emulex OneConnect FCoE CNAs are single-chip 10GbE server adapters that support FCoE, while leveraging mature Fibre Channel management tools and processes (see Figure 2). The OCe10102-F and OCe11102-F offload Fibre Channel protocol processing from the CPU, providing high performance storage connectivity and optimized CPU utilization. The additional processing power retained by CPUs provides more CPU bandwidth for enterprise applications and enables the deployment of more virtual machines (VMs) per virtualized server.
- Page 4 FCoE CNA Converged Network Deployment Models The combination of DCB-enabled Ethernet switches and Emulex UCNAs has facilitated the adoption of FCoE and 10GbE as the converged network fabric. FCoE switches are typically provisioned at the edge of the network. They detect Ethernet frames with encapsulated Fibre Channel frames and supply the Fibre Channel Forwarding function for communication to the SAN.
- Page 5 Advanced Management Solutions Converged Networking with FCoE in a Windows Environment The following sections provide details on how to configure Emulex OneConnect OCe11102-F and OCe10102-F FCoE CNAs and deploy converged networking with FCoE in a Windows Server environment. CNA installation CNAs present both NIC and iSCSI or Fibre Channel functionality to the operating system (OS) (see Figure 4).

Click on the FCoE icon and select the “Driver Parameters” tab to the far right. The same parameter capabilities and management practices used for Emulex Fibre Channel adapters also apply to OneConnect FCoE (see Figure 8). Emulex Whitepaper...
- Page 8 Channel parameters Activating the SAN Component Once you’ve configured the Emulex OneConnect FcoE adapter, you must also ensure that the FCF port on the switch has been configured to support FCoE. Zoning, which provides isolation of sensitive data in a SAN, is based on a WWPN that uniquely identifies the adapter (either HBA or CNA) that is installed on a server.
