Dell System Setup
When you first start the host server that contains QLogic adapters, the POST
starts. Running the POST gives you access to the Dell System Setup.
To set up Switch Independent Partitioning using the Dell System Setup:
1. While running POST, press F2.
The Main menu for the Dell System Setup opens.
NOTE
When bandwidth settings exist for both Switch Independent Partitioning and
DCBX , DCBX takes precedence over Switch Independent Partitioning.
DCBX sets the bandwidth for iSCSI and NIC traffic, and then Switch
Independent Partitioning sets the bandwidth for the NIC partitions by dividing
the NIC bandwidth allocated by DCBX. For more information, see
“Interoperation of Bandwidth Settings for DCBX and Switch Independent
Partitioning” on page 121.
NOTE
Depending on your server model and System Setup version, the screens
you see might differ from those shown.
