HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554M Adapter: технические характеристики и документация

HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554M Adapter

The HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554M adapter supports Virtual Connect Flex-10 that allows each 10Gb port to be divided into four physical NICs to optimize bandwidth management for virtualized servers. When connected to a Data Center Bridging (DCB) capable switch, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Ethernet I/O are separated and routed to the corresponding network. For iSCSI storage, the HPE 554M supports full protocol offload to provide better CPU efficiency when compared to software initiators, thus enabling the server to handle increased virtualization workloads and compute-intensive applications. This combination of high-performance network and storage connectivity reduces cost and complexity and provides the flexibility and scalability to fully optimize Gen8 BladeSystem servers. The HPE 554M delivers the performance benefits and cost savings of converged network connectivity for HPE BladeSystem servers. The dual-port HPE 554M optimizes network and storage traffic with hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP/IP, TCP Offload Engine (TOE), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI.

Performance

Product Features

• Industry-leading throughput and latency performance
• Supports Gen8 c-Class ProLiant BladeSystem servers
• Type A Mezzanine Adapter
• Dual 10Gb ports provide up to 40Gb full duplex per adapter
• Hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP/IP, TCP Offload Engine (TOE), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI

• Jumbo frames support
• Supports the HPE FlexFabric and Flex-10 technologies that allow setting any bandwidth from 100Mb to 10Gb on up to four physical function NICs or Flex NICs per port when combined with the 10Gb Flex-10 Virtual Connect module. One of the Flex NICs can be configured to support FCoE or accelerated iSCSI.
• Each FlexNIC and FlexHBA is recognized by the server as a PCIe physical function device with adjustable speeds from 1Gb to 10Gb in 100Mb increments
• Supports receive-side scaling (RSS) for efficient distribution of network receive processing across multiple CPUs in multiprocessor systems.
• Includes 128 MB of onboard memory.
• Supports the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE
• Supports SR-IOV

Dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Throughput (theoretical bandwidth)

The 20 Gbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gbps aggregate full duplex) delivers outstanding network performance that improves response time and removes bottlenecks.

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)

Combines the functionality of an industry-standard NIC with a proven Fibre Channel software stack to seamlessly converge network and storage traffic over a shared lossless Ethernet network based on IEEE DCB standards.

HPE Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module for the c-Class BladeSystem

Evolve 10Gb at your own speed! When paired with the HPE Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet
Modules, take advantage of four Flex NICs, which are PCI Physical Function devices that are OS/ Hypervisor independent.
Server ROM recognizes them as individual NICs
Speeds can be set per NIC from 100Mb to 10Gbs in 100Mb increments
Threefold increase in number of network connections per port.
Up to four physical function NICs per port.
Ideal for virtualized server environment, especially for dedicated bandwidth application like virtual machine migration from one physical server to another physical server.

Jumbo Frames

The HPE 554M adapter supports jumbo frames (also known as extended frames) with a maximum transmission unit (MTU) of up to 9K bytes when running Ethernet and/or iSCSI I/O, which is over five times the size of standard 1500-byte Ethernet frame. Eight KB jumbo frames are supported when running Ethernet and FCoE I/O concurrently. Jumbo frames can help achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups.

802.1p QoS Tagging

IEEE quality of service (QoS) 802.1p tagging allows the adapter to mark or tag frames with a priority level across a QoS-aware network for improved traffic flow.

802.1Q VLANs

The HPE 554M adapter supports the IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol that allows each physical port or FlexNIC to be assigned to a VLAN for added network segmentation and enhanced security and performance. VLANs increase security by isolating traffic between users. Limiting the broadcast traffic to within the same VLAN domain also improves performance.

Network Adapter
Teaming

The HPE 554M adapter support for NIC teaming helps IT administrators increase network fault tolerance and improve workload balance. These capabilities optimize availability, improve performance and help reduce costs.

TCP/IP Stateless Offloading

For overall improved system response, the HPE 554M adapter supports standard TCP/IP stateless offloading techniques including:

• TCP/IP checksum offload (TCO) moves the TCP and IP checksum offloading from the CPU to the network adapter.
• Large send offload (LSO), also known as TCP segmentation offload (TSO), allows TCP segmentation to be handled by the adapter rather than the CPU.

Single-Root I/O Virtualization

Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) provides a mechanism to bypass the host system hypervisor in virtual environments providing near metal performance and server efficiency. SR-IOV provides mechanism to create multiple Virtual Functions (VFs) to share single PCIe resources. The device is capable of SR-IOV, and requires Server BIOS support, controller firmware, and OS support.

TOE

TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) moves the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server
CPU to the network card, freeing CPU cycles for other duties.

RDMA

Not Supported

iSCSI

The HPE 554M adapter supports accelerated iSCSI and iSCSI INT 13 Boot.
