Setting the storage personality
HP Broadcom-based adapters are pre-configured with FCoE enabled on all ports by default.
Hardware-accelerated iSCSI is also supported but is disabled by default. To change an adapter configured
to enable iSCSI on either port, use the following procedure to change a port to FCoE. In a Virtual Connect
environment, the storage personality is configured by Virtual Connect, and the following procedure is not
required.
To set the storage personality on a port:
1.
Power up the server.
2.
Enter Ctrl+S when the Broadcom BIOS message appears to launch the CCM.
