Ethernet Expansion Card (CIOv) for IBM BladeCenter

IBM BladeCenter at-a-glance guide

The Ethernet Expansion Card (CIOv) is an Ethernet expansion card with two 1 Gb Ethernet ports designed for BladeCenter servers with CIOv expansion slots. It is based on proven Broadcom 5709S

ASIC technology and offers value added features like TCP Offload (TOE) and software-based iSCSI support for high performance.

This card is installed into the CIOv slot of the supported blade server. It provides connections to

Ethernet-compatible modules located in bays 3 and 4 of supported BladeCenter chassis. The CIOv slot is a second generation PCI Express x8 slot. A maximum of one Ethernet Expansion Card (CIOv) is supported per single-wide blade server.

The Ethernet Expansion Card (CIOv) is shown in Figure 1.

Did you know?

Today's virtualized servers require a larger number of network adapters. This adapter is a perfect fit for these environments because it can enable up to eight Ethernet ports per blade server.

The adapter is based on the PCI Express bus, which can be thought of as a high-speed serial replacement of the older technology. Its use offers many benefits including higher speeds and the ability to send and receive data at the same time.

When using the CIOv adapter, you can simultaneously use a CFFh adapter to enable more types of I/O to supported blade servers such as the HS22 when installed in the IBM BladeCenter H chassis. The innovative design of the CIOv adapter is designed to work with the CFFh adapter to support this combination workload.

The Ethernet Expansion Card (CIOv) requires that a supported I/O module is installed in bay 3 and bay 4 of the chassis that the cards and servers are installed in. The supported I/O modules are:

Any IBM, BNT or Cisco Ethernet Switch Module (standard form-factor switch module)

Optical Pass-thru Module

Copper Pass-thru Module

Intelligent Copper Pass-thru Module

Popular configurations

This section shows two popular configurations using the Ethernet Expansion Card (CIOv).

Adding two extra Ethernet ports per blade server

Most often, the Ethernet Expansion Card (CIOv) is used to expand the number of Ethernet ports per blade to increase network bandwidth. This is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. The Ethernet Expansion Card (CIOv) provides two extra Ethernet ports per blade server

The components used in this configuration are listed in Table 3.

*Note: The expansion card can be installed in servers in the BladeCenter S (8886). However, by doing so you will lose the ability to connect to the BladeCenter S Disk Storage Modules (DSMs). The Ethernet expansion card will go in the place of the SAS expansion card needed to connected to the DSMs. Instead, use the 2/4 Port Ethernet Expansion Card (CFFh), part number 44W4479.

iSCSI SAN storage solution

In addition, this card can be used to connect to external iSCSI-based entry-level SAN, as shown in Figure

4.
