Setting NPar Function Protocols
When NPar is enabled, the protocols for additional functions on each port can be
specified depending upon the board model, the number of ports available on the
adapter, and the NParEP Mode setting, otherwise they will be set to “None”; meaning
there is no protocol running on the function. The SetAdapterPortConfig command
configures the protocols running on each function.
After enabling NPar mode with the SetAdapterPortConfig command, default
bandwidths will be automatically assigned to each partition with an assigned protocol.
See “Default NPar Bandwidths” on page 435 for more information.
The following rules apply when using the SetAdapterPortConfig command with
multichannel enabled to configure NPar:

First function on a port is always NIC. NIC+RoCE is not available when NPar is
enabled.

Storage can be configured on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th partitions only. A total of 2
different storage protocols can be configured on a port.

Any partition other than the first partition can be configured as “None”; that is
for no protocol.

A reboot is required after executing this command to run the new protocols
assigned to the functions.
