Terminology
Adapter
The whole card.
AVIO
Accelerated Virtual Input/Output. An I/O protocol that improves virtual I/O
performance for network and storage devices used within the HP Integrity VM
environment.
Card
The adapter, most often in reference to the hardware or to a specific form factor (such
as PCIe mezzanine).
Device
The adapter as a whole, or an HP-UX device.
DIO
The direct I/O networking feature that allows virtual machines to directly control I/O
devices, minimizing device emulation overhead incurred with AVIO.
NIC
Network Interface Card. A device that is configured as a network or LAN I/O device.
PCIe
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express. A computer expansion bus standard that
replaces older (such as PCI) bus standards to improvements such as a higher maximum
system bus throughput, a smaller physical footprint, better performance scaling for
bus devices, more detailed error detection and reporting, and native hot-plug
functionality. More recent revisions of the PCIe standard support hardware I/O
virtualization.
Port
The physical connection to the network. A LAN adapter may have two physical
connections; this configuration is often described as “dual-ported.”
10GBase-T overview
The HP PCIe 10GBase-T Dual-port Adapter is based on the Intel Ethernet Controller X540 chipset,
which is a derivative of the previous generation of Intel 1GbE and 10GbE adapters that support
PCIe v2.1 (2.5GT/s or 5GT/s). The HP PCIe 10GBase-T Dual-port Adapter is designed for system
configurations such as rack-mounted or pedestal servers, where it can be used as an add-on NIC.
To connect the adapter’s two X540 ports to external devices, two independent 10GBase-T interfaces
are used. Each 10Gbase-T interface can operate at any of the following speeds:
•
10 Gb/s, 10GBase-T mode
•
1 Gb/s, 1000Base-T mode
