Hide unused FlexNICs |
This setting provides the ability to hide unused FlexNICs from the operating system. If Hide Unused FlexNICs is selected (enabled), FlexNICs that do not map to any server profile connections are not presented to the operating system. For example, if you have a full complement of eight FlexNICs defined in your server profile but map only four, your operating system will see only the four mapped FlexNICs instead of eight. If Hide Unused FlexNICs is not selected (disabled), eight FlexNICs are enumerated in the operating system as network interfaces for each Flex-10 or FlexFabric adapter. Configuring Fibre Channel connections on a FlexFabric adapter can enumerate two storage interfaces, reducing the number of network interfaces to six. FlexNICs are hidden in pairs, starting with the fourth pair. For example, if the fourth FlexNIC on either physical port corresponds to a profile connection, all eight physical functions are enumerated. If a profile connection corresponds to the second FlexNIC on either physical port, but no connection corresponds to the third or fourth FlexNIC on either physical port, only the first and second physical functions are enumerated in the operating system. By default, Hide Unused FlexNICs is enabled. |
