NIC Partitioning Configuration
To configure the maximum and minimum bandwidth allocations for each
partition:
1. Select NIC Partitioning Configuration in the Main Configuration Page
(Figure 5-1), and then click Finish.
2. In the NIC Partitioning Configuration page, select Global Bandwidth
Allocation.
3. In the Global Bandwidth Allocation page (Figure 5-3), click on each partition
minimum and maximum TX bandwidth field for which you want to allocate
bandwidth. There are four partitions per port if NPAReP mode is disabled;
eight partitions per port if NPAReP mode is enabled. NPAReP mode
requires that ARI be enabled in the BIOS for adapter’s PCI slot.
Figure 5-3. Global Bandwidth Allocation Page–NPAReP Mode Enabled
Partition N Minimum TX Bandwidth is the minimum transmit
bandwidth of the selected partition expressed as a percentage of the
maximum physical port link speed. Values can be 0–100. When DCBX
ETS mode is enabled, the per traffic class DCBX ETS minimum
bandwidth value overrides the per partition minimum TX bandwidth
value.The total of the minimum TX bandwidth values of all partitions on
a single port must equal 100 or be all zeros.
