Changing Personalities on OneConnect OCe10102 and
OCe11102 Adapters

The OneCommand Manager application enables you to change the personality or

protocol running on OneConnect OCe10102 and OCe11102 adapters.
When you change the personality of the adapter and reboot the host, the adapter starts

running the new personality or protocol. The personalities that OCe10102 and

OCe11102 adapters currently run are NIC-Only, NIC + FCoE, and NIC + iSCSI. In some

cases the adapters are pre-configured to support multiple personalities. In other cases

you must install a license key before the adapter can support multiple personalities. See

“Showing and Installing Licenses for OneConnect OCe10102 and OCe11102 Adapters”

on page 204 for more information.

Note: The three different personalities may not always be available on an adapter. For

example, a NIC + FCoE adapter can change to a NIC-Only or NIC + iSCSI

adapter, but an iSCSI adapter may not be able to change to a NIC + FCoE

adapter.

Use the Adapter Information tab to make personality changes.
