01CV750 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter
QLogic Enhanced Gen 5 16 Gb Fibre Channel HBAs
Product Guide
The QLogic Enhanced Generation 5 (Gen 5) 16 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) Single and Dual-port Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) for Lenovo ThinkSystem and System x servers offer industry leading native FC performance with extremely low CPU usage with full hardware offloads. Enhanced Gen 5 FC technology provides advanced storage networking features capable of supporting the most demanding virtualized and private cloud environments, while fully leveraging the capabilities of highperformance 16 Gb FC (16GFC) and all-flash arrays (AFAs). Powerful management tools automate and simplify SAN provisioning to help reduce cost and complexity, while the unmatched 16 Gbps performance eliminates potential I/O bottlenecks in today’s powerful multiprocessor, multicore servers. The QLogic Enhanced Gen 5 16 Gb FC HBAs are shown in the following figure.

Did you know?
The QLogic StorFusion architecture delivers ultimate reliability to meet the
needs of mission-critical enterprise applications with lower power and fewer
CPU cycles, all while maintaining peak performance.
The QLogic Enhanced 16 Gb FC HBAs are based on our 32 Gbps Architecture, which
delivers higher IOPS and performance with lower power consumption compared to
previous generation.
QLogic QConvergeConsole provides unified, single-pane-of-glass management
across generations of QLogic FC adapters.

Key features
The QLogic Enhanced Gen 5 16 Gb FC HBAs have the following features:
-
Maximum performance with up to 1.3 million input/output operations per second (IOPS) to support larger server virtualization deployments and scalable cloud initiatives, and performance to match new multicore processors, SSDs/flash storage, and faster server host bus architectures.
-
Independent function, transmit and receive buffers, an on-chip CPU, DMA channels, and a firmware image for each port enable complete port-level isolation, prevent errors and firmware crashes from propagating across all ports, and provide predictable and scalable performance across all ports.
-
Support for NVMe over Fibre Channel (FC-NVMe). The adapters support low-latency access to scale out NVMe with full support for the FC-NVMe protocol. The adapters can simultaneously support FC-NVMe and FCP-SCSI storage traffic on the same physical port, enabling customers to migrate to NVMe at their own pace.
-
Supports forward error correction (FEC) to enhance reliability of transmission and thereby performance.
-
Industry-standard class-specific control (CS_CTL)-based frame prioritization Quality of Service (QoS) helps alleviate network congestion by prioritizing traffic for time-sensitive mission critical workloads for optimized performance.
-
10-PI data integrity with high performance offload provides end-to-end data corruption protection.
-
Support for Message Signaled Interrupts eXtended (MSI-X) improves host utilization and enhances application performance.
-
Fabric-assigned port worldwide name (FA-WWN) and fabric-based boot LUN discovery (F-BLD) pre- provisioning services allow servers to be quickly deployed, replaced, and moved across the SAN; the creation of zones, LUNs, and other services can be completed before the servers arrive on site.
-
Using the Brocade ClearLink diagnostic port (D_Port) available on the Brocade Gen 5 switches, administrators can quickly run automated diagnostic tests to assess the health of links and fabric components.
-
Read diagnostic parameters (RDP) feature provides detailed port, media, and optics diagnostics to easily discover and diagnose link-related errors and degrading conditions on any N_Port-to-F_Port link.
-
Link cable beacon (LCB) enables administrators to visually identify both ends of a physical link by flashing HBA’s LEDs, simplifying identification of the connection peers within server racks without tracing the cable.
-
Single-pane-of-glass management across generations of QLogic FC adapters with QLogic QConvergeConsole (QCC).
-
Deployment flexibility and integration with third-party management tools, including the VMware®
vCenter™ and Brocade Network Advisor. -
Support for 16 Gb, 8 Gb, and 4 Gb FC devices.
-
Comprehensive virtualization capabiliies with support for N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV).
-
A common driver model allows a single driver to support all QLogic HBAs on a given OS.
-
Reduce the number of cards, cables, and PCle slots required.
-
Exceptional performance per watt and price/performance ratios.
-
Backward compatibility with existing 4GFC and 8GFC infrastructure, leveraging existing SAN investments.
-
Allow application of SAN best practices, tools, and processes with virtual server deployments.
-
Ensure data availability and data integrity.
-
Boot from SAN capability reduces the system management costs and increases uptime. The following table compares features of QLogic Enhanced Gen 5 16 Gb, Gen 5 16 Gb, and 8 Gb FC HBAs.
