DL560Gen8 + NC552SFP - UMC

Hi all

 

We have some new DL560Gen8 servers with NC552SFP NICs (Emulex). I've read on some forums that users have Universal Multi-channel working, but I cannot find any place to set this up.

 

Basically we want to split each port into two virtual NICs - one of 8gbit and one of 2gbit.

 

You are supposed to be able to enable the function through CTRL+P (PXE boot) setup during boot, but I don't see anything relevant there. I also don't see anything under One Command Manager (we are using Windows Server 2012).

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

The card seems to be working in 2012 just fine (except for not having this feature).

 

Please refer to this video:

Forward to 2:11 - I wish to know how to access that configuration screen. 

 

Thanks
