1.2 Setting Up the Converged Network Adapter Cards
This section describes how to set up the VMware ESX server for use with the Emulex Converged Network
Adapter cards described in the "Server Support Matrix".
Depending on the Converged Network Adapter card used, the actual on-screen Converged Network Adapt-
er card information may differ from that in the screenshots shown in this manual.
1.2.1 Setting Up the Converged Network Adapter Cards
Install the Converged Network Adapter card to the server, and acquire the physical address and World Wide
Name (WWN) for the Converged Network Adapter card.
•The physical address and WWN of a Converged Network Adapter card are required information in the fol-
lowing cases: when an error has occurred in the system, when using the ETERNUS DX storage systems (host
affinity function, etc.) to restrict server access, or when connecting the ETERNUS DX storage systems and
the server using a Fibre Channel switch and a CEE/FCoE switch.
•The relationship between a physical address and WWN cannot be determined from the BIOS. The physical
address and WWN must be recorded as a pair when each Converged Network Adapter card is installed.
Physical address and WWN must be assigned to "WWN instance management table for the server".
The workflow is shown below.
(1) Install the Converged Network Adapter card
(2) Turn on the server
(3) Acquire the physical address and WWN for the Converged Network Adapter card
(4) Add a record for the server in the WWN instance management table for the server
The procedure is as follows:
1Install the Converged Network Adapter card in the server.
For the installation method, slot positions, activation of the installed slot, and notes regarding the Con-
verged Network Adapter card, refer to the manual provided with the Converged Network Adapter card
or the user guide of the server.
2Turn on the server, and press the [Alt] + [E] keys or [Ctrl] + [E] keys while the following message is
displayed.
Emulex OneConnect FCoE BIOS Utility starts.

6Press the [Esc] key to quit the Emulex OneConnect FCoE BIOS Utility.
When installing two or more Converged Network Adapter cards to the server, first turn off the server,
then repeat Step 1 through Step 5 shown here for each Converged Network Adapter card to be installed.
If multiple Converged Network Adapter cards are already installed in the server at the time of pur-
chase, the one-to-one relationship between the WWNs and the Converged Network Adapter cards
cannot be recognized. The WWNs that are obtained in this section may need to be repeatedly regis-
tered and set up on the ETERNUS DX until a server recognizes the ETERNUS DX logical disks.
For details about ETERNUS DX settings, refer to "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX Configuration Guide -
Server Connection- Disk Storage System Settings" that corresponds to the ETERNUS DX to be connec-
ted.

1.2.4.1 For VMware vSphere 5.5
1Record the module name for the Converged Network Adapter card that is loaded into VMware ESXi.
The underlined portion indicates the loaded module name. In the following example, "lpfc" is the mod-
ule name.
# esxcli system module list | grep lpfc
lpfc true true
Module names may vary depending on the Converged Network Adapter card that is used.
2Check the number of ports on the Converged Network Adapter card.
The number of CNA Names for the Converged Network Adapter card that is displayed represents the
number of ports.
In the following example, the number of ports is "two" since "vmhba1" and "vmhba2" (two underlined
portions) are displayed as the CNA Names of the card.
# esxcfg-scsidevs -a | grep lpfc

3Check the default value for the Converged Network Adapter card.
Specify the module name for the Converged Network Adapter card that you recorded in Step 1 and
check the default value.

Use the value of "8" if the actual result is lower.
When the value for this setting is changed, refer to "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX Configuration
Guide -Server Connection- (FCoE) for VMware® ESX" and change the setting value for the Maximum

Use the following command to change the setting values when the driver parameter name is
"lpfcX_lun_queue_depth", the number of I/Os is "8", the module name is "lpfc", and the number of ports
is "2".
# esxcli system module parameters set -p "lpfc0_lun_queue_depth=8 lpfc1_lun_queue_depth=8" -m lpfc
Input the number of I/Os ("8" in this example) for each driver parameter setting.
5Reboot VMware ESXi.
# reboot
6After rebooting VMware ESXi, check the setting values.
~ # esxcli system module parameters list -m lpfc | grep lpfc[0-1]_lun_queue_depth
lpfc0_lun_queue_depth int 8 Max number of FCP commands we can queue to a specific LUN
lpfc1_lun_queue_depth int 8 Max number of FCP commands we can queue to a specific LUN
1.2.4.2 For VMware vSphere 5.1 or 5.0
1Record the module name for the Converged Network Adapter card that is loaded into VMware ESXi.
The underlined portion indicates the loaded module name. In the following example, "lpfc820" is the
module name.
# esxcli system module list | grep lpfc
lpfc820 true true
Module names may vary depending on the Converged Network Adapter card that is used.
2Check the number of ports on the Converged Network Adapter card.
The SCSI Host numbers of the Converged Network Adapter card that are displayed represent the number
of ports.
In the following example, the number of ports is "two" since "4" and "5" (two underlined portions) are
displayed as the SCSI Host numbers of the Converged Network Adapter card.
# ls /proc/scsi/lpfc820

3Check the default value for the Converged Network Adapter card.
Specify the module name for the Converged Network Adapter card that you recorded in Step 1 and
check the default value.
# esxcli system module parameters list -m lpfc820 | grep lpfc[0-1]_lun_queue_depth
lpfc0_lun_queue_depth int Max number of FCP commands we can queue to a specific LUN
lpfc1_lun_queue_depth int Max number of FCP commands we can queue to a specific LUN
[0-1] indicates that the number of ports is two.
4Change the setting values of the parameter for the Converged Network Adapter card driver.
Driver parameter Setting value
lpfcX_lun_queue_depth Arbitrary (*1)
(Up to 512 for each FCoE port of the ETERNUS DX)
*1: Recommended value = 512 ¸ (number of FCoE ports that are connected to a single CA port) ¸
number of LUNs
(Round the result down)
Use the value of "8" if the actual result is lower.
When the value for this setting is changed, refer to "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX Configuration
Guide -Server Connection- (FCoE) for VMware® ESX" and change the setting value for the Maximum
Outstanding Disk Requests for virtual machines as well.
Use the following command to change the setting values when the driver parameter name is
"lpfcX_lun_queue_depth", the number of I/Os is "20", the module name is "lpfc820", and the number of
ports is "2".
# esxcli system module parameters set -p "lpfc0_lun_queue_depth=20 lpfc1_lun_queue_depth=20" -m lpfc820
Input the number of I/Os ("20" in this example) for each driver parameter setting.
5Reboot VMware ESXi.
# reboot
6After rebooting VMware ESXi, check the setting values.
# esxcli system module parameters list -m lpfc820 | grep lpfc[0-1]_lun_queue_depth
lpfc0_lun_queue_depth int 20 Max number of FCP commands we can queue to a specific LUN
lpfc1_lun_queue_depth int 20 Max number of FCP commands we can queue to a specific LUN

1.2.4.3 For VMware vSphere 4
1Record the module name for the Converged Network Adapter card that is loaded into VMware ESX.
The underlined portion indicates the loaded module name. In the following example, "lpfc820" is the
module name.
# vmkload_mod -l | grep lpfc*
lpfc820
Module names may vary depending on the Converged Network Adapter card that is used.
2Check the default value for the Converged Network Adapter card.
Specify the module name for the Converged Network Adapter card that you recorded in Step 1 and
check the default value.
# esxcfg-module -g lpfc820
lpfc820 enabled = 1 options = ' '
Check that no value appears in the underlined portion.
3Check the number of ports on the Converged Network Adapter card.
The SCSI Host numbers of the Converged Network Adapter card that are displayed represent the number
of ports.
In the following example, the number of ports is "two" since "4" and "5" (two underlined portions) are
displayed as the SCSI Host numbers of the Converged Network Adapter card.
# ls /proc/scsi/lpfc820
