Hide unused FlexNICs |
This setting allows you 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 the server hardware supports 8 FlexNICs, but only four connections are defined in the server profile, the operating system will see only four network interfaces. If Hide Unused FlexNICs is not selected (disabled), 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. This setting can be changed only when the server is powered off. |
