Configuring Physical Port DCB Parameters
The DCB Configuration dialog box allows you to configure physical port DCB
parameters. While there are eight ETS Priority Groups in which the priorities can be
assigned, only two of those groups can be assigned priorities and bandwidths. The
FCoE priority is assigned to one Priority Group and the other seven (NIC) priorities
must be assigned to one and only one other Priority Group. If you are configuring
Priority Groups on a DCBX enabled switch, in order to work properly with the adapter
port, you should only configure two Priority Groups in the same way.
To configure DCB parameters for a physical port:
1. Select a host in the vSphere console tree-view and select the Emulex OneCommand
tab.
2. In the Emulex Device Management tree-view, select the physical port whose DCB
properties you want to configure.
3. Select the DCB tab.
4. Click Configure DCB. The DCB Configuration dialog box appears.
5. Configure the settings you want and click OK.
