Product Details
P9D94A provides these features:
1. High-performance, Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters
The HPE StoreFabric SN1100Q 16Gb Host Bus Adapters deliver twice the I/O performance of 8 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) HBAs.
Moving to 16 Gb technology provides the infrastructure required for the more powerful servers and data intensive applications in virtualized environments.
When using storage intensive applications like backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization and rich media, the improved I/O performance enables faster storage and retrieval of data.
2. High Performance and Enhanced Capability For Critical Workloads and High SLA Environments
The HPE StoreFabric SN1100Q 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters supports for N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV) and industry standards-based Class-specific control (CS_CTL), provides end-to-end quality of service (QoS).
Delivers 16Gbps line rate per physical port, and increases the number of virtual machines (VMs) per each physical HBA Port that can be supported.
Advanced diagnostics capabilities when used in conjunction with HPE StoreFabric B-series FC switches can reduce troubleshooting and downtime with support for features like D-port diagnostics, Link Cable Beaconing (LCB), Read Diagnostic Parameters (RDP), enhanced FDMI, FC Ping and FC Trace Route.
Data center administrators do not need to concern themselves with multiple requests from the virtualized servers potentially creating conflict.
3. Additional Bandwidth
The HPE StoreFabric SN1100Q 16Gb Host Bus Adapters allow IT departments to do more with less: less hardware, less power, less cooling, less personnel, and less budget.
They optimize existing resources by deploying an effective adaptive server solutions.
Scale physical resources through consolidation and virtualization.

Frequently Asked Questions
What primary function does the HPE SN1100Q P9D94A perform in a server environment? +
The HPE SN1100Q 16Gb 2-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter acts as a high-performance bridge between your server and the storage area network. It offloads I/O processing tasks from the host CPU, enabling faster data transfer speeds and reducing latency, which is essential for virtualized environments and demanding enterprise database applications.
Can the HPE SN1100Q P9D94A be used in existing 8Gb Fibre Channel infrastructures? +
Yes, the SN1100Q features backward compatibility with 8Gb and 4Gb Fibre Channel fabrics. This allows for a seamless transition when upgrading your server hardware without requiring an immediate, site-wide replacement of your legacy switches or cabling, providing flexibility as you gradually modernize your storage networking infrastructure.
What is the physical connectivity interface for the HPE P9D94A adapter? +
The P9D94A is a PCIe-based adapter designed to fit into standard expansion slots on supported HPE servers. It utilizes dual ports to provide redundancy and increased throughput. You will need to ensure your server chassis has an available PCIe slot that meets the electrical and physical requirements specified by the SN1100Q architecture.
Does the P9D94A support virtualized server environments? +
Absolutely. This adapter is optimized for modern virtualized data centers. It includes advanced features like N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), which allows multiple virtual machines to share the same physical Fibre Channel port while maintaining independent security zones and traffic prioritization on your SAN.
How does the 16Gb speed of this HBA impact overall storage performance? +
Operating at 16Gbps, this HBA significantly reduces bottlenecks for high-throughput applications like data warehousing, real-time analytics, and heavy transactional workloads. By doubling the throughput compared to standard 8Gb adapters, it ensures that your storage arrays can deliver data to the CPU as quickly as the flash-based media allows.
Is the HPE SN1100Q P9D94A easy to manage and integrate with server software? +
Integration is straightforward using HPE-provided drivers and management tools. The card supports standard management frameworks, allowing IT administrators to monitor link status, port health, and diagnostic data directly through the server's OS or centralized management consoles, ensuring visibility into your storage fabric performance.
What are the reliability benefits of using this dual-port Fibre Channel HBA? +
The dual-port configuration is critical for maintaining high availability. By connecting each port to a separate fabric switch, the server remains connected to the storage network even if a single cable, SFP, or switch port fails. This redundancy is essential for mission-critical enterprise environments requiring continuous uptime.
What server operating systems are compatible with the HPE SN1100Q? +
The SN1100Q is designed to work with all major enterprise operating systems, including various versions of VMware ESXi, Windows Server, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Always check the specific HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) to ensure you have the correct driver versions for your specific OS build.
