HP 1.10GB Virtual Connect Ethernet Module for c-Class BladeSystem - Manual (Page 116)

Server management 116
The multiple network feature is not supported for iSCSI connections.
VCM looks at the number and types of connections in the profile—FCoE, iSCSI, and Ethernet. FCoE
connections are assigned first, followed by iSCSI and then by Ethernet. It is possible that some connections
will be unmapped. On server boot, the adapter enumerates functions dictated by VCM. Any personality
change triggers a server reboot during POST.
After creating the iSCSI offload connections, use the iSCSI BIOS utility or OS tools to configure all iSCSI
parameters.
IMPORTANT: After a profile has been created with iSCSI offload and assigned to a server, this
iSCSI offload configuration remains until it is manually removed through the system BIOS or OS
utility, even if the iSCSI offload is removed from the profile. Additionally, if iSCSI targets are
added using the system BIOS or the OS utility, those targets remain until they are manually
removed.
