Universal HBA Overview
This chapter provides a basic overview of Oracle's Sun Storage 16 Gb Fibre Channel (FC)
PCIe Universal Host Bus Adapter (HBA), which is a low-profile, dual-port PCIe HBA that
uses Cavium, formerly QLogic, technology. This chapter also describes the various operating
systems, host platforms, storage, and infrastructure configurations that support the universal
HBA, and lists the universal HBA environmental requirements.
This chapter contains the following sections:

Universal HBA Features and Specifications
Oracle's Sun Storage 16 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) PCIe Universal host bus adapter (HBA) (part
number 7101674) is a standalone, PCIe low-profile universal HBA that uses Cavium, formerly
Chapter 1 • Universal HBA Overview 11

Universal HBA Features and Specifications
QLogic, technology. The HBA is considered universal because it is a configurable board that
enables you to change its operating protocol mode from a two-port 16 Gb FC HBA to a two-
port 10 GbE Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Converged Network Adapter. The universal
HBA has four possible configurations:
■10 GbE FCoE Copper — This configuration provides twin-ax copper cable connectivity
and 10 GbE FCoE HBA functionality. No optical transceiver modules are installed in, nor
provided with, this configuration of the universal HBA.
■16 Gb FC SW (shortwave) Optical — This configuration requires installing 16 Gb
FC shortwave optical transceiver modules in the SFP+ connector of the universal HBA,
enabling 16 Gb Fibre Channel HBA functionality.
■10 GbE FCoE SR (short-range) Optical — This configuration requires installing 10
GbE short-range optical transceiver modules in the SFP+ connectors of the universal HBA,
enabling 10 GbE FCoE Converged Network Adapter functionality.
■16 Gb FC LW (longwave) Optical—This configuration requires installing 16Gb FC long-
range optical transceiver modules in the SFP+ connectors of the universal HBA, enabling
16 Gb FC HBA functionality.
Note - If you are using the Universal HBA in an FCoE Converged Network Adapter
configuration, keep in mind that Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) cannot be used on
the same port as FCoE or iSCSI.
Figure 1, “Sun Storage 16 Gb FC PCIe Universal Host Bus Adapter, QLogic, with SFP+
Transceiver Modules,” on page 13 shows the physical features of the universal HBA with
optical transceiver modules installed, but without any cables attached.

Switch Compatibility
Note - For technical support issues with any switches, refer to the product documentation or
contact the switch manufacturer.
The universal HBA supports connecting to any 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel (FC) switch and all
Fibre Channel Over Internet (FCoE) switches from any vendor that follows standard FC
specifications, and follows 10GbE NIC/FCoE specifications, with the following considerations:
■Direct Access Storage for FC is supported with COMSTAR.
■FC-SW switched fabric is supported when the HBA is connected to a 16 Gb/s FC switch.
■FC point-to-point (FC-P2P) (N_Port) is supported.
■FC-AL is not supported at 16 Gb/s or faster.
■An FCoE-capable switch is always required for FCoE connections.
Note - This documentation lists switches that are specifically not supported by the universal
HBA, when applicable.
