Configuring Universal Multichannel
Note: UMC support is only available on OCe11100-series adapters.
Note: If your adapter has multichannel enabled and also supports IBM Virtual Fabric
Mode or IBM Unified Fabric Protocol Mode, refer to “Configuring Multichannel
for IBM Adapters” on page 1530 for additional information. If multichannel is
disabled or not supported on the adapter, refer to “Configuring Ports When
Multichannel is Disabled or Not Supported” on page 1525.
UMC provides the ability to configure multiple physical functions or I/O channels for
each physical adapter port. For additional information on UMC support, see the Emulex
Universal Multichannel Reference Guide.
Note: When UMC is enabled, you must configure the multichannel settings
(minimum and maximum bandwidths) for iSCSI and FCoE storage functions in
the NIC BIOS before they can be configured further from their respective
utilities (iSCSI or FCoE BIOS). Otherwise, the Logical Link for that function will
still show as down, and you will not be able to log into targets or find LUNs
behind those targets.
Note: Multichannel functionality is only supported on OneConnect adapters running
in 10 Gb mode. The 1 Gb mode does not support UMC.
To view the MultiChannel Configuration screen:
1. From Port Selection Menu (Figure 2-4), select the port you want to configure and
press . The MultiChannel Configuration screen appears.

Notes:

Logical Link Status is displayed as “N/A” for storage functions.

SR-IOV support can only be enabled if UMC support is disabled.

If your system does not support some of the multichannel options, those
unavailable options appear as N/A on the MultiChannel Configuration screen.
