Installing a host bus adapter or host channel adapter in the host system Host bus adapters (HBAs) provide an interface from the host system’s PCI bus to Fibre Channel-attached devices. Host channel adapters (HCAs) provide an interface from the server’s PCI bus to InfiniBand devices. IBM FlashSystem 710 User’s Guide... -
Page 16: Fibre Channel Interface Bandwidth
Many servers, however, provide different PCI buses with different speeds, and placing the HBA on a faster PCI bus can improve performance. When you install an 8 Gb, 2-port HBA in the server, allocate at least an entire PCI-X bus or a PCI Express (PCIe) slot. IBM FlashSystem 710: User's Guide... -
