Optional 2x10GbE + 2x8GB Fibre Channel network interface card (NIC)

You can enable two-way NDMP sessions by configuring a node with the optional 2x10GbE + 2x8GB Fibre Channel network interface card (NIC).

This special NIC is required to allow Gen6 to interface with tape libraries. A 2x10GE + 2x8GB Fibre Channel NIC is a hybrid host bus adapter (HBA) that enables two-way NDMP sessions over the Fibre Channel port. Contact Dell Professional Services to enable support for the 2x10GbE + 2x8GB Fibre Channel NIC.
