D ATA S H E E T LightPulse(R) LPe1250 8Gb Fibre Channel PCIe 2.0 Host Bus Adapter Unparalleled Manageability, Reliability, Security, Performance and Ease of Deployment Streamlined installation and management, unrivaled scalability, and industryleading virtualization support make the single-port Emulex LightPulse LPe1250 Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA) an ideal solution for mixed-OS SAN environments. Proven Design, Architecture and Interface Emulex LightPulse HBAs' highly integrated processor design minimizes onboard components to improve host performance and efficiency. Advanced errorchecking features ensure the integrity of block data as it traverses the SAN. Emulex's firmware-based architecture enables feature and performance upgrades without costly hardware changes. The unique Service Level Interface (SLITM) allows use of a common driver across all models of Emulex HBAs on a given OS platform simplifying deployment and administration tasks. Installation and management facilities are designed to minimize server reboots and further simplify deployment. Powerful Management Software for Maximum Data Center Efficiency The Emulex OneCommand(R) Manager enterpriseclass management application features a multiprotocol, cross-platform architecture that provides centralized management of all adapters provided by Emulex. This enables IT administrators to manage network connectivity with one tool for maximum efficiency. OneCommand Manager also features: OneCommand(R) Manager plug-in for VMware vCenter Server--enables comprehensive control of Fibre Channel HBAs and network (FCoE, iSCSI and TCP/IP NIC) connectivity solutions provided by Emulex from VMware's vCenter Server management console. Emulex OneCommand Manager plug-in for VMware vCenter Server supports both the new VMware vSphere 5.1 Web Client and the VMware vCenter Server desktop client with an identical feature set regardless of the client. n Key Benefits Provides superior performance for the enterprise n Integrates seamlessly into existing SANs n Supports IT server consolidation and energy conservation initiatives n Allows application of SAN best practices, tools and processes with virtual server deployments n Protects sensitive data from unauthorized access n Assures data availability and data protection n Improves IT staff productivity through simplified deployment and management n Key Features Support for Message Signaled Interrupts eXtended (MSI-X), improves host utilization and enhances application performance n Support for 8GFC, 4GFC and 2GFC Fibre Channel devices n Comprehensive virtualization capabilities with support for N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) and Virtual Fabric n Host to Fabric FC-SP authentication Long wave optical transceiver model available--allows the board to transmit signal over long distances n Secure management with role-based administration integrated with Light Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Active Directory (AD) services n BlockGuard(R) ready--end-to-end T10 PI data integrity for protection against silent data corruption events n Common driver model allows a single driver to support all Emulex HBAs on a given OS n Easy deployment of new firmware with no server reboot n Efficient centralized administration of Emulex HBAs via powerful management tools n S P E CIF ICATION S LightPulse(R) LPe1250 8Gb Fibre Channel PCIe 2.0 Host Bus Adapter Standards Agency Approvals Management Features * ANSI Fibre Channel: FC-PI-4, FC-FS-2, FCFS-2/AM1, FC-LS, FC-AL-2, FC-GS-6, FCFLA, FC-PLDA, FC-TAPE, FC-DA, FCP through FCP-4, SBC-3, FC-SP, FC-HBA and SMI-S v1.1 * PCI Express base spec 2.0 * PCI Express card electromechanical spec 2.0 * Fibre Channel class 2 and 3 * PHP hot plug-hot swap North America: - FCC Class A - UL/CSA Recognized Europe: - CE Mark - EU RoHS compliant - TUV Bauart Certified Japan: - VCCI Class A Taiwan: - BSMI Class A Korea: - MSIP (formally KCC/MIC) Class A China: - China RoHS Compliant * The Emulex OneCommand(R) Manager application enables centralized discovery, monitoring, reporting, and administration of Emulex HBAs and UCNAs on local and remote hosts. Powerful automation capabilities facilitate remote driver parameter, firmware and boot code upgrades. Advanced diagnostic features such as adapter port beaconing and adapter statistics help to optimize management and network performance while the environmental monitoring feature helps to maintain optimum host to fabric connections. In addition to the GUI interface, management functions can also be performed via a scriptable Command Line Interface (CLI) as well as a web browser. With in-band and outof-band management capabilities, Emulex provides data center administrators with the greatest level of management flexibility. * OneCommand Manager supports role-based management to facilitate administration of adapters throughout the data center without compromising security. Management privileges can be assigned based on LDAP and AD group memberships. * Emulex's management instrumentation complies to Open Management Standards, such as SMI-S and common HBA API support, which enables seamless upward integration into enterprise storage and server management solutions.
