Anybody knows if is possible to use a SFP FINISAR, model H8521-3-H#C, compatible with the Gigabit Ethernet and 1000BASE-T standards as specified in IEEE Std 802.3, in substitution of optical interface in a HP BLADE Virtual COnnect? Is is possible to use other SFP adapters models than HP in a Virtual COnnect Blade System?

Hi Guys,

Hoping someone can help me here since i tried to find any documentation describing RHEL/CentOS 7.x bonding support under HPE virtual connect Flex10 technology and failed to do so.. the setup consists of a RedHat virt cluster running rhvh 4.1 (based on rhel 7.3).

now the c7k encl is running 2 flex10/10d under FW version 4.5 and the server blades are BL460 Gen10 with 536FLB FlexNic installed.. the profiles utilizing map mode and the SUS is conf in LACP.

the issue is that when setting up a mode2  or mode4 bonds causes the virtual connect loop detection to shutdown one of the ports.

this behaviour is unheard of / reproducible in RM servers from HPE nor is it in same blade HW connected to a fully fledged switch such as the HPN 6125xx line.

can someone help with this one ? did anyone encountered a similar behaviour  running RHEL 7.x / RHV 4.x in such a setup?

much obliged,

Gil

luna trim review

programs is therefore to reduce veins blood insulin luna trim review production to its barest minimum by drastically reducing carbs luna trim review while using unwanted fat and necessary s energy requirement. Despite the ability of ketogenic luna trim review programs to reduce veins blood insulin production, their main purpose is gradually aimed at inducing the healthiness of ketosis. Ketosis can be regarded as a disease or symptom in which the speed of formation of ketones produced by the crack down of "fat" into "fatty acids" by the liver organ is greater than the ability of tissues to oxidize them. Ketosis is actually a secondary situation of the process for lipolysis (fat crack down) and is an ordinary complication of low-carbohydrate luna trim review programs. Ketogenic luna trim review programs are therefore favorably disposed to the encouragement and promotion of ketosis. Prolonged periods of starvation can easily induce ketosis but it can also be purposely induced by using a low-calorie or low-carbohydrate luna trim review through the ingestion of huge amounts of either unwanted fat or necessary proteins and drastically reduced carbs meals. Therefore, high-fat and high-protein luna trim review programs are the luna trim review programs used to purposely induce ketosis. Essentially, ketosis is a effective way of wind turbine which does not involve the production of veins blood insulin as the whole personal body rather burns its fat deposits for energy. Consequently, the idea of reducing carbs luna trim review does not only reduce veins blood insulin production but also practically forces the whole personal body to get rid of its fat deposit for energy, thereby getting the use of ketogenic luna trim review programs a very powerful way to achieve rapid Luna trim-loss. Ketogenic

Is it possible to achieve up to 4-HBA in a BL460c Gen8 with FlexFabric? The 554FLB provides two ports but I'm looking at wanting an additional 2 ports. If I add another 554FLB card will it use the FlexFabric modules in the BAY 1 & 2 or will I have to add additional FlexFabric modules to Bay 3 & 4?

Hi Community,

we just bought two used Gen8 blades and put them in the chassis. They are working and everything seems fine in the Onboard Administrator. No problems displayed.

The blades got the same settings as alle the other blades which is working fine.

One difference we found though and I am not sure if that's the problem.

In the VC Manager > Hardware > C7000-1 > Interconnect Bays > Server Ports
all the working blades have a "Linked" status but the two newly added blades have "Not linked" status.

Blade is set to DHCP and DHCP settings are correctly made.

iLO works well but when trying to boot vie PXE and get an ip address via DCHP nothing happens.

Happy for any idea!!

I want to verify which ports on my CISCO switches the Flex10's are uplinked to. How can I determine the MAC address of the individual ports on the Flex 10 so I can look for it on the CISCO side?

Hi,

BR,

I did assign/map 9 networks at VC and now I can see 10 network interfaces at Server 2016... Extra network interface has also "strange" MAC not starting with 00-. I can see this extra interface also at ILO with status unknown. Server 2016 does show interface as Network cable unplugged. I cannot remove that interface because it is not mapped on VC. How I can remove extra interface? I Did attach snip.

VC firmware 4.60, G8 blade, HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554FLB Adapter, drivers should be latest.

EDIT:

I did notice that all other Blades will show also that same interface as Network cable unplugged. 

EDIT2: I did remove 9th interface from VC and now extra interface went away from Server 2016 and also from ILO. Bug does not show up if there is only 8 interfaces... so maybe I do not need to mind about extra interface which does not work... Maybe it will work also if I add enough interfaces :)

We're trying to get some new virtual machines going on our Synergy cluster to run Aruba's Virtual Mobility Controller.  They require that the port group in vSphere is in VGT mode where you tag all VLANs (4095).  The controller can send and receive on any of it's VLANs.  A client connected on one of those VLANs cannot however.  If we vMotion the controller over to a traditional server that doesn't use VirtualConnect, everything works as it should.  The config is identical other than one having Virtual Connect and one connected to a regular switch trunk port.

Is anyone running an Aruba Virtual Mobility Controller through vSphere and Virtual Connect?

1. In the search box, begin to type a product name or product number and not serial number. As you type, the search suggests up to five results sorted by popularity, so watch the screen as you type to save keystrokes. If you do not see your product listed in the Suggested products column, click View more products to expand the list.
The suggestion list also displays Drivers and software and Documents in the Category column, if any are available for the product. Example

2. Based on the results of the search text you entered, you can open the product page in one of three ways:

Option 1: Your product appears in the suggested results list, and you click the Drivers and software icon. This takes you directly to the product's drivers and software results. Example

Option 2: Your product appears in the suggested results list, and you click the product name. By default, this takes you to the drivers and software results.

Option 3: You do not see your product listed in the suggested results list. Either modify your search text so you can use Option 1 or Option 2, or press the Enter key, which will perform a keyword search on all products and show results under the All tab.

Note: If you are on the keyword results page, you have not selected a specific product. Therefore the Drivers and Software and Documents tabs display results for all matches for the search text instead of results for a specific product. For best search results, make sure you are on a product page (see next step).

The keyword results page lists the suggested products and a link for more products if more than five match your search text. Click View more products to expand the list. Example

In the list of products, find your specific product. When you have found your product:
Option 3a: Click the Drivers and software icon.
Option 3b: Click the product name. This takes you to the drivers and software results.
Option 3c: If you still do not see your product listed, add more specific search text.

3. You should now be on a product page with search results listed for drivers and software. To verify you are on a product page, make sure the product appears in the search bar and on the left of the page: Example

4. On the right pane is a list of the drivers and software available for your product. By default, search results are sorted by relevance to the product you selected and your search terms. Select Date from the Sort by drop-down list to show the most recent drivers and software at the top.
If the search results list is long, use the filters on the left to reduce the number of results. You can filter the results by:
•Operating environment
•Software type
•Software sub type (available after you select a software type)
•Date
Example
You can also refine the search results by adding additional search terms. This will only search within the product displayed in the search box.

The search results displays 25 results by default. If there are more than 25 results, scroll to the bottom of the results list and select an additional number of results to display: 25, 50, 100, or All results. Note the All link will not appear when the number of results is so large that displaying every result impacts performance.

The search results displays only the most applicable drivers and software. For a given product and language, if you select a specific operating environment the search results displays only the latest drivers and software that apply. To see all results, leave the operating environment set to All.

NOTE: If you do not have an appropriate contract or warranty to download the driver, a lock icon appears in the results to the left of the driver.

5. When you have found the driver or software you need, click the search result to go to a page where you can download and view more information about the package.

HP c7000 chassis with 2 HP VC 10/10D modules. Each module has 5 SFp 1 GB rj-45 going back to trunk ports or vlan a port on a cisco switch.

I created my SUS and vlan tag nic groups for each port.

It seems i can only have a total of 8 nic's to each blade server. Ports 1 and 2 in each VC can see the network and send traffic out and back to the VM guest images. Ports 3,4,5 will not send traffic out. VC manager show them as linked and active but wont route traffic out of them. Cisco switch shows them connected and link is active.

Tried these ports in a cisco switch tied to a normal Vlan and not a trunk port same issue. No network traffic will route out of these ports (no internet and cant ping IP or server). They have a mac address and show they are mapped in VC manager but what ever is setup I cant see my network at all. Ports 1 and 2 are the only ones that will route traffic. I have HP stupmed and Vmware stumped as they both verified my build and setup are correct.

HP has stated with 5 SFp's in each VC I should have a total of 20 nic's available (10 per VC) to each blade. Thats not the case only 8 nics ( total of both VC's) will register a to a port and get a MAC address in the VC.

What am I missing?

Hello,

Anyone knows about the way forward for solving the problem f PSOD when the server is not booting well but keeps giving purple screen.

I have tried to install different versions of ESXi 5.0,ESXi5.5 and Esxi 6.5 even ESXi 5.5 but the server says no network card.

Can anyone advise the way forward for  bringing back my server up and running?

Before I have had a problem of power failure in my datacenter and the server can`t be back when the power comes back and then I did reset the fuser for my blade server.

I may indicate that before it was running ESXi 5.5.

Kindly advise,thank you!!

We are using Flexfabric for Network only, and it is carved into 2Gbps and 8Gbps allocations across two vlan groups.

What I need to know if if I chnage it to say 5GBps/5Gbps is this chnage disruptive?  Will it bring down the networking temporarily or will it stay connected the whole time?

Also if I do it in one server profile will that only affect that server and no other servers in the chassis?

Hello Every one , 

I am having new bladesystem , C7000 , the Servers shows Not Configured for Virtual Connect, any Idea what could be the reason ? so i have already imported the Bladesystem into Virtual Connect Manager , but still showing this message , what wonders me also in Virtual Connect Manager under Hardware - Overview

I don''t see the Servers in Frontview i see only the Interconnect Bays and in device Bays no devices are listed 

any idea what could be the reason , what i am missing

How can you configure a single-enclosure VC domain with two active VC modules? 

Here's my senario:
I have a C7000, OA firmware 4.01 ,VC firmware 4.50.
The HP VC Flex-10/10D Modules are in Bay1 and 2. I have 1 uplink in each going to two Juniper switches respectiviley.
 I have created one Ethernet network with both the uplinks from Bay1 and 2. With one appreaing as Linked-active and the other as Linked-Standby.

How do I get both uplinks as Linked-active. How do I configure an active-active senario?

The reason I am looking into this is because we had a planed upgrade on one of the Juniper switches and once the switch went down connected to the active uplink, it took a while(1min) for the HP VC switch to failover to the Linked-standby uplink and make that active.

Hi, in VirtualConnect for blades it was possible to enable SFLOW in order to monitor traffic between fisical servers inside the C7000. Having a look on VC for Synergy SFLOW is not listed, any body knows a way to do a similar functionality with VC for Synergy?

Hi

we have two HP VC FlexFabric-20/40 F8 in our C7000 chassis slot 1/2 and as ethernet switch a Cisco Nexus 5048UP (1G and 10G only). I'm trying to bring up Q1.1 (we have a JG325B MPO Module in Q1 with a HP K2Q46A cable,  this is a breakout cable which gets 4x10G SR from 40G SR). On the nexus side I've inserted a 10Gbase-SR Module and the port is up on the Nexus - but the FlexFabric module shows as port status "Not Linked". Is this configuration supported or do we have to switch to the X1-X8 ports with different cables & optics? 

I've changed as well the "Connection Mode" but without luck.

We only have the HP virtual connect manager, no OneView.

Cheers & thanks

Dear friends, 

i am having Blacesystem C7000 , it has 4 X 10 Gb Network cards , 2 in each Bay , so bay 1 x1 and Bay 2 x1 connected to the same Switch and Bay 1 x 2 and Bay 2 x2 connected to the other switch, i need to use 4 network what is the best scenario to  use them without Vlan. 

in Network Wizard should i use the option : 

  1) Connection with Uplink dedicated to Single Network or 

2 ) connection with Uplink Carrying Multiple Ethernet networks and / or FCoE Network using Vlan Tagging

Note when i use the second option and i need to use the Vlans which i don't want. 

when i use the first option , i get Network connectivity problem with Bay 1 and Bay 2 port number 2 , it goes directly offline and give error no Link. 

any advise?

Thanks and B. regards
