Hi,
I have a ESX server (7u3) that has a 8G FC HBA 2-port adapter and a 32G FC HBA 2-port adapter.
I want to enable FC-NVMe support for the 32GB FC HBA. But I am not sure I can do that without any problems.
I need to enable FC-NVME on the qlnativefc module/driver, but this driver is also used by the 8G HBA adapters.
My question is, can I enable NVMe support without impacting the operation of the 8G adapters?
