CNA Installation
CNAs provide the same functionality as installing separate NICs
and Fibre Channel HBAs.

OneCommand Manager
OneCommand Manager is the successor to the Emulex field-
proven HBAnyware management application, and provides
centralized management of Emulex fabric (Fibre Channel HBA)
and network (iSCSI, FCoE CNA, NIC) adapters in physical and
virtual server deployments. It provides powerful provisioning and
diagnostic capabilities through a graphical user interface (GUI) as
well as a fully scriptable command line user interface (CLI), helping
increase administration efficiency and business agility.

AutoPilot Installer
AutoPilot Installer supports a wide variety of installation options
from a basic installation on the local server to customizable,
automated installations on both local and remote servers. The
Storport Miniport User Manual provides details on all of the
options. All that is required for a basic installation on the local
server is to download and run the distribution kit. The AutoPilot
installation automatically installs or updates the driver for all of
the adapters on the server and also installs all of the components
needed for OneCommand Manager. There is minimal user input
and a reboot of Windows is usually not required.

CNAs present both NIC and iSCSI or Fibre Channel functionality to
the operating system (OS) (see Figure 6). This level of transparency
ensures that the CNA configuration and management practices
are performed in the same manner as would be done with
separate NIC and HBA devices.
Once the Fibre Channel CNA has been installed in the host,
Windows Device Manager can be launched from Server Manager
to verify that the CNA is recognized by the host. The adapter is
visible in Windows Device Manager in the storage adapter view as
well as the network adapter view. When deploying multiple CNAs
for failover and load balancing, both Fibre Channel multipathing
and NIC teaming can be configured.
