HBA Features and Specifications

The Oracle Storage Dual-Port 32 Gb Fibre Channel PCIe Low Profile HBA, which uses Marvell, formerly QLogic, technology (part number: 7335902), is a low-profile, PCIe card that allows connectivity to Fibre Channel (FC) storage outside of the server. The board interfaces an eight-lane PCIe bus, supporting two enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) FC optical media ports. Each independent FC port operates at 32 Gb/s and features 32/16/8 autonegotiation.

x8 PCIe 3.0 x8 lane width up to 8 GT/s per lane

PCI transfer rate (maximum)

PCI Express Generation Three x8 (8.0 GT/s) in an electrically x8 slot (default)

Data rate (maximum)

32 Gb/s FC per port, negotiable to 16, and 8 Gb/s

PCIe hot plug and hot swap functionality

Supported

Number of FC ports

Two

FC transfer rate

6400 MBps/line rate 28.05 GBAUD, full duplex

FC topologies

Switched fabric (N-Port), arbitrated loop (NL-Port), and point-to-point (N-Port)

Note: Fibre Channel arbitrated loop is not available at 16 Gb/s and above.

FC SAN boot support

Booting is supported for all supported operating systems. For more information about supported operating systems, see Operating System and Technology Requirements.

Diagnostic support

Provided by Oracle VTS software

FC Compatibility

  • Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling (FC-PH, FC-PH2/3)

  • Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL, FC-AL-2)

    Note: Fibre Channel arbitrated loop is not supported at data rates of 16Gb/s or faster. Instead, use point-to-point mode. However, if you manually change the HBA to the 8Gb/s or lower data rate, Fibre Channel arbitrated loop is supported.

  • Fibre Channel Framing and Signaling (FC-FS-4)

  • Fibre Channel Link Services (FC-LS-2), including NPIV

  • Fibre Channel Physical Interface (FC-PI, FC-PI-4, FC-PI-5, PC-PI6)

  • Fibre Channel Tape and Medium Changers (FC-Tape)

  • Fibre Channel Protocol for SCSI, (FCP-4-SCSI)

  • Fibre Channel Switch Fabric (FC-SW-4)

  • FMA support

  • T-10 DIFF or T10-PI support

LED indicators

Three LEDs per port (green) on the front panel, as status indicators

Maximum power consumption

11.5 Watts
