Product Description
Brocade server connectivity solutions provide enterprise-class SAN and LAN connectivity for servers. Brocade Fabric Adapters are a new class of adapter that meets all of the connectivity needs of cloud-enabled data centers while providing unmatched performance, application-aware services, unified management, and reduced cost complexity. Brocade Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) are designed to help IT organizations depoly and manage end-to-end Storage Area Network (SAN) services across next-generation data centers, with best-in-class hardware performance and unique software features. Brocade Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) integrate 10Gbps Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) functionality with Fibre Channel technology - enabling transport over a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connection through the new Data Center Bridging (DCB) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols.

Tested Configuration:

BIOS/uEFI:	3.1.0
Ports and Bus Types:	PCI Express X8
Hard Disk Drive:	2 HP HSV300
Test Kit:	DiskKit 5.01.37 - 2009-10-28

Config Notes

Power Management: xhci module (for USB 3.0) is experimental and prevents resume from S3/S4 states. Suggested solution: prevent loading of xhci by adding the line "blacklist xhci" to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file. If the xhci module is needed, it may be force-unloaded when entering S3/S4 by specifying SUSPEND_MODULES="xhci" in a file under /etc/pm/config.d. Any USB 3.0 devices should be unmounted before force-unloading the xhci module.
Graphics: Video driver used in testing is PLDP-compliant and may be installed by adding http://download.nvidia.com/novell/sle11sp1 as an Add-On Product.
Graphics: nvidia-settings used to enable/disable external display. Fn+F4 does not switch displays.
