Cisco Unified Computing System Overview
The Cisco ® Unified Computing System is a next-generation data center platform that unites compute, network, storage access, and virtualization into a cohesive system designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers. The system is an integrated, scalable, multichassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management domain.
Product Overview
The Cisco UCS M71KR-Q QLogic Converged Network Adapter (CNA) is a QLogic-based Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) mezzanine card that provides connectivity for Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers in the Cisco Unified Computing System.
Designed specifically for the Cisco UCS blades, the adapter provides a dual-port connection to the midplane of the blade server chassis. The Cisco UCS M71KR-Q uses an Intel 82598 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller for network traffic and a QLogic 4-Gbps Fibre Channel controller for Fibre Channel traffic, all on the same mezzanine card. The Cisco UCS M71KR-Q presents two discrete Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA) ports and two Ethernet network ports to the operating system (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Cisco UCS M71KR-Q QLogic Converged Network Adapter
Features and Benefits
The Cisco UCS M71KR-Q provides both 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 4-Gbps Fibre Channel functions using drivers from QLogic (Figure 2), providing:
• Risk mitigation through compatibility with current QLogic adapter-based SAN environments and drivers
• Reduced TCO through consolidation of LAN and SAN traffic over the same mezzanine card and fabric, reducing the overall number of network interface cards (NICs), HBAs, cables, and switches
• Integrated management with Cisco UCS Manager

Qlogic Fiber Channel Drivers
Table 1. Features and Benefits
Feature | Benefit |
QLogic Fibre Channel controller application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) | Allows customers to use existing QLogic HBA software and drivers for storage |
Unified I/O | Helps reduce TCO by consolidating the overall number of NICs, HBAs, cables, and switches because LAN and SAN traffic run over the same mezzanine card and fabric |
Network architecture | Provides redundant path to fabric interconnect using dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to the fabric carrying both Fibre Channel and Ethernet traffic |
Unified management | Through Cisco UCS Manager, automatically discovers blades and the mezzanine cards on the blades |
Intel 82598 ASIC for Ethernet traffic | Delivers efficient, high-performance Ethernet support |
Support for lossless Ethernet | Uses priority flow control (PFC) and IEEE 802.3x Pause to enable FCoE as part of the Cisco unified fabric |
Support for Fibre Channel N-port ID virtualization (NPIV) sessions | Support 16 sessions of Microsoft Windows operating systems and 64 for Linux operating systems |
Platform Support and Compatibility
The Cisco UCS M71KR-Q mezzanine card is designed specifically for Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers and works in a dedicated environment with Cisco UCS Manager.
