Configuring Personality
The “personality” reflects the protocol, or protocols, of the adapter. This option
specifies a list of available protocols that can be configured on an adapter. Depending
on the personalities for which the adapter is licensed one or more of the following
selections may appear:

NIC – implies that all the enabled functions provide NIC functionality

iSCSI or FCoE – these personalities are enabled on one function per adapter port
and include NIC functionality on the other enabled functions. There can be only
one of each storage protocol on each port.

NIC+RoCE – implies that all the enabled functions provide RoCE functionality.
When NIC+RoCE is enabled, the RoCE Profile selection is available.
Note: When SR-IOV is enabled, the NIC+RoCE personality setting is
unavailable.
Note: RoCE is supported on Windows only.
The menu only displays the available personalities, including both free and licensed
personalities.
Note: There cannot be two iSCSI functions and two FCoE functions on a single port.
To select the personality of the adapter:
1. From the Configure Controller screen, use the up or down arrow keys to select
Personality.
