HP 638526-B21 User manual

Simplify and make your data center change-ready. The HP Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D Module for the c-Class BladeSystem is the

simplest, most flexible connection to your networks. The Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D Module is a new class of blade interconnect that

simplifies server connections by cleanly separating the server enclosure from LAN, simplifies networks by reducing cables without

adding switches to manage, allows you to change servers in just minutes, not days, and tailors network connections and speeds based

on application needs. HP Flex-10 technology significantly reduces infrastructure costs by increasing the number of NICs per connection

without adding extra blade I/O modules, and reducing cabling uplinks to the data center network. The HP Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D

Module for c-Class BladeSystem is an innovative, new class of integrated interconnects from HP.

c-7000 Port Mapping

Port mapping differs slightly between full height and half height server blades due to the support for

additional Mezzanine cards on the full height version.

HP has simplified the processes of mapping Mezzanine ports to switch ports by providing intelligent

management tools via the Onboard Administrator and HP Insight Manager Software. The Onboard

Administrator Guide, Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide provides detailed information on port

The following are supported configurations for the Virtual Connect Flex-10 Ethernet Module. Please note that other interconnect

options can be installed in the enclosure, but they do not inherit the benefits of Virtual Connect. Switches and Pass-Thru modules will

operate per their default configurations. Any moves, adds, or changes to servers which are connected to non-Virtual Connect modules

will require reconfiguration on the LAN and/or SAN. The Virtual Connect Manager will only manage Virtual Connect Modules.

Stacking Configuration

Stacking links are used to interconnect Virtual Connect Ethernet Modules when using more than one

enclosure or when using more than two Virtual Connect Ethernet Modules in a single enclosure.

All Virtual Connect Modules within the VC Domain must be interconnected. Any combination of 1Gb and

10Gb cables can be used to interconnect the Virtual Connect Modules; however the following provides

recommended configurations (note that a built-in 10Gb link is provided between modules in horizontally

adjacent bays). Supported cable lengths on 10Gb uplinks are 3 to 15 meters and supported 10Gb stacking

links (connecting between two HP Virtual Connect Ethernet Modules) are 0.5 to 7 meters. Interconnecting

the modules allows all Ethernet NICs on all server blades in the Virtual Connect domain to have access to

any Virtual Connect uplink port. By using these module-to-module links, a single pair of uplinks can be

used as the data center network connections for the entire Virtual Connect domain, and allows any server

blade to be connected to any Ethernet network.

NOTE:

Supported module-to-module and multi-enclosure stacking configurations may be found in the

HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem Setup and Installation Guide which can be downloaded at the

following address:
