Configuring UMC Channel Management (OCe11102 adapters
only)
Note: IBM refers to UMC as SIMode.
Using the Channel Management tab, each physical port can be partitioned into a
maximum of four isolated channels providing a converged conduit for network and
storage traffic. Each channel has its own unique MAC address and provides traffic
management and provisioning capabilities such as minimum and maximum transmit
rates and LPVIDs (for untagged packets).
Refer to the Emulex Universal Multichannel Reference Guide for additional information on
UMC.
Note:

Properties for all channels on a port can be viewed and modified when UMC is
enabled on the Adapter Information tab, even before rebooting to activate UMC
on the adapter. This allows you to enable and configure UMC (on all channels),
reboot and run UMC without further configuration.

For IBM adapters, UMC mode may be referred to as "vNIC2". The
OneCommand Manager application displays the Channel Management Type
"SIMode".

SR-IOV is not supported with UMC.
