QLogic 16Gb FC Single-port and Dual-port HBAs for System x

Product Guide (withdrawn product)

The QLogic 16Gb FC Single-port and Dual-port Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) for System x ® are sixth generation Fibre Channel Adapters. They offer 16 Gbps line-rate performance at extremely low CPU utilization with full hardware offloads. Support for powerful virtualization features make this adapter ideal for virtualized environments that need excellent I/O performance to service growing numbers of virtual machines (VMs).

Did you know?

Did you know that these QLogic adapters support nearly twice the throughput and 2.5 times the I/O operations per second (IOPS) per port compared to 8 Gb adapters? In addition, the adapters support both PCI Express 3.0 x4 or 2.0 x8 data transfer on the host side. The QLogic 16 Gb HBAs are ideal for high bandwidth and I/O-intensive applications, such as media streaming, backup/recovery, data warehousing, OLTP, Microsoft® Exchange Server, and server virtualization. Through rigorous testing by Lenovo through the ServerProven® program, you can maintain a high degree of confidence that your System x server storage subsystem is compatible and functions reliably when using these 16 Gb HBA adapters.

Features

The QLogic 16Gb FC Single-port and Dual-port HBAs have the following features:

Port architecture that offers independent functionality on each port — independent CPU, isolated memory and independent firmware image — provides higher reliability and predictable performance.
Support for Message Signaled Interrupts eXtended (MSI-X) improves host utilization and enhances application performance.
Support for 16 Gb, 8 Gb, and 4 Gb FC devices.
Full hardware offload for Fibre Channel protocol.
Support for PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 3.0 host interfaces.
Comprehensive virtualization capabilities with support for N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) with 255 N_Port IDs per port.
Host-to-fabric Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) authentication.
A common driver model allows a single driver to support all QLogic HBAs on a given operating system.
Universal boot capability allows the appropriate boot environment to be automatically selected for any given hardware.
Boot from SAN capability reduces the system management costs and increases uptime.

Technical specifications

The QLogic 16Gb FC Single-port and Dual-port HBAs have the following specifications:

Based on the QLogic QLE2660 (single port) and QLE2662 (dual port) adapters
Host interface: PCI Express 2.0 x8 or PCI Express 3.0 x4 (physical connector is PCIe x8)
Single-port or dual-port SFP+ based adapters
Support for 16 Gb, 8 Gb and 4 Gb FC link speeds, which are automatically negotiated
Data rate: 14.025 Gbps (1600 MBps), 8.5 Gbps (800 MBps), and 4.25 Gbps (400 MBps) autosensing (per port), with full duplex
Performance: Over 500,000 IOPS per port (over 1,200,000 IOPS per dual-port adapter)
Throughput: 3,200 MB per port, full-duplex
2048 concurrent logins
255 N_Port IDs (NPIV) per port
Industry standards:
• Current ANSI/IETF standards: FC-PI-4, FC-PI-5, FC-FS-2 with amendment 1, FC- AL-2 with amendments 1 and 2, FC-LS-2, FC-GS-6, FC-DA, FC-SP-2, FCP-4, FC-MJS, FC-SB-4, FCSP, SPC-4, SBC-3, SSC-3, and RFC4338
• Legacy ANSI/IETF standards: FC-PH, FC-PH-2, FC-PH-3, FC-PI, FC-PI-2, FC-FS, FC-AL, FC-GS-2/3/4/5, FCP, FCP-2, FC-SB-2, FC-FLA, FC-HBA, FC-PLDA, FC-TAPE, FC-MI, SPC3, SBC-2, SSC-2, and RFC2625
Topology: Point-to-point and switched fabric
Supported media: 16 Gbps Fibre Channel LC SFP+ short wave optical transceivers (850 nm), hotpluggable
Management software:
• The QLogic QConvergeConsole (QCC) management software delivers a unified web based single-pane-of-glass management console across the QLogic family of storage and networking adapters. A graphical user interface (GUI) or command line interface (CLI) are available. A VMware vCenter plug-in is also available.
• Common IT tasks, such as VLAN configuration and teaming, can be easily accomplished either through QConvergeConsole or through native OS tools, thereby minimizing IT training and deployment costs.
• Role-based authentication allows for separate logins and access for SAN and LAN administrators. This eliminates the need to change your organizational structure as you converge your network.
