About the Fujitsu PRIMERGY 16Gb Fibre Channel Dual-Port HBA
This Fujitsu-branded dual-port 16 Gigabit Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter, based on the Emulex LightPulse LPe31002 chipset, is the standard SAN connectivity card for PRIMERGY servers connecting to FC SAN fabrics (Brocade, Cisco MDS). Offering 16Gb/s per port (32Gb/s aggregate), it delivers sufficient bandwidth for high-IOPS all-flash storage workloads including ETERNUS AF150 and DX8900 arrays. The card operates at PCIe 3.0 x8 and supports auto-negotiation to 4/8/16Gb FC, providing backward compatibility with installed FC infrastructure.
Key features include hardware-accelerated FC target mode for FC-NVMe (NVMe over Fibre Channel) target and initiator roles, enabling next-generation NVMe/FC storage fabrics where NVMe array performance is extended across the SAN without NVMe-over-TCP latency overhead. The adapter includes Emulex OneCommand Manager for HBA configuration, firmware management, diagnostics, and performance statistics collection, integrated into Fujitsu ServerView for unified management.
Fujitsu certifies this HBA against its ETERNUS storage portfolio and third-party FC storage arrays including EMC PowerMax, NetApp AFF, IBM FlashSystem, and Hitachi VSP. It is a non-negotiable component in any PRIMERGY deployment where hosts must access a Fibre Channel SAN, making it consistently high-demand in enterprise SAN refresh projects, VMware vSphere cluster builds, and Oracle RAC cluster connectivity.
Ideal for
- VMware vSphere ESXi host FC SAN boot and datastore connectivity
- Oracle RAC cluster node SAN connectivity for ASM disk groups
- Backup-to-tape or VTL via FC zoning (Veeam, Commvault, TSM)
- Microsoft Hyper-V cluster node connection to FC SAN (CSV over FC)
- NVMe/FC fabric initiator for all-NVMe SAN array access
- Disaster recovery replication path via FC long-distance DWDM links
