Lenovo ThinkSystem Emulex 16Gb Fiber Channel Adaptors
Scale and Protect
The Emulex 16Gb Fiber Channel Adapter family for Lenovo Flex System enables the highest FC speed access for Flex System compute nodes to an external storage area network (SAN). These adapters are based on the proven Emulex Fiber Channel stack and work with 16 Gb Flex System Fiber Channel switch modules.
As the only 4-port HBAs for Flex System and ThinkSystem respectively, the FC5054 and LPm16004B-L provide unmatched scalability and redundancy. In addition, these two 4-port adapters have two separate ASICs with no bridge chip, so data flows directly to an independent PCIe bus for high availability without a single point of failure.
Ethernet Adaptors: ThinkSystem Emulex 16Gb Fiber Channel Adaptors
Emulex LPm16002B-L and LPm16004B-L Mezz Adapters, based on the proven Emulex Fiber Channel stack, enable the highest FC speed access to an external storage area network (SAN).
Ample Secure Bandwidth
- Fiber Channel protocol SCSI (FCP-SCSI) and Fiber Channel Internet Protocol (FCP-IP)
- Point-to-point fabric connection: F-Port Fabric Login
- Fiber Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) and FCAL-2 FL-Port Login
- Fiber Channel services class 2 and 3
- LUN Masking, an initiator-based LUN masking for storage traffic isolation
- N_Port Id Virtualization (NPIV) allows multiple host initiator N_Ports to share a single physical N_Port, dramatically reducing SAN hardware requirements.
- FCP SCSI initiator and target operation
- Full-duplex operation
Did You Know?
You can deploy faster and manage less when you combine Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and Virtual Fabric Adapters (VFAs) that are developed by Emulex. Lenovo HBAs and VFAs use the same installation and configuration process, streamlining the effort to get your system up and running, and saving you valuable time. They also use the same Fibre Channel drivers, reducing the time to qualify and manage storage connectivity. And with the Emulex OneCommand Manager, you can manage Lenovo HBAs and VFAs that are developed by Emulex through the data center from a single console.
