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?

Virtual connect and SLES bonding - huge packet loss
Hi,
HUUUGEEE packet loses on short path:
blade server <- 10GB chassis link -> VC FLex (L2) <- X5 uplink 1GB -> CISCO router (L3 gateway)
Here pinging results from SLES on blade serer to the CISCO router IP Gateway
rdscho201:~ # ping -c 100000 -i 0.001 -l 100000 -q 10.115.200.129

What is the reason of such a huge packet loses, and also bond0 (eth0, eth1) interface is fluctuating a bit

Strange not assigned/mapped network interface from VC on Server 2016
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 :)
Virtual Connect and vSphere VGT for Aruba Mobility Controller
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?
Drivers and software for HPE Storage and Server Products
How to search for Drivers and software for HPE Storage and Server Products?
To find drivers and software for your product, complete the following steps:
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.

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?
PSOD after blade server failed to start,fo blade server BL460C Gen8
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!!
HP VC Flexfabric bandwidth allocation changes
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?

How to configure VC Enet modules in an active-active state
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.
HP VC FlexFabric-20/40 F8 connect with Cisco Nexus 5048UP not linked issue
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
Networking scenario
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

How to re-enable a stacking link
Up until a few weeks ago, we were using VC port x8 to connect to an iscsi network, leaving x7 as our stacking link ports. We have 10 c7000 enclosures. We've stopped using the iscsi network so, on each c7000, I deleted all iscsi networks and pulled the sfp's from the x8 ports. AFter a few minutes, x8 returned to serving as stacking links. However, one c7000 only shows its stacking link using x8. So apparenly x7 was never participating. I never saw any stacking link warnings prior to removing the sfp's so it was never noticed. So my question is, is there a way to re-enable x7 so it will act as a stacking link port again?
virtula connect c7000
HI
We have two virtual connect f8 modules on c7000 enclosure that contain virtual connect domain . the vc modules are on interconnect bays 1 and 2.
Because we need more network cards for the blade servers we need to add two more f8 modules in bays 3 and 4.
My question is how to add the new modules to the existing domain.
Are they added automatically to vc domain or we need to add them first in the hardware section
The second question is can we directly connect virtual connect uplinks from two c70000 enclosures that have different vc domains . I mean no Ethernet switches exist in the middle
Virtual Connect - Smart Link issue.
Hello all.
We have some issues with the Virtual Connect.
Our infrastructures:
C7000, 2 HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24, 4 servers BL460c and 2 Aruba 2920 Switch
The Virtual Connect is connected to two HPe switches 2920 in a stack.
Virtual Connect bay 1 port x5 connect to switch-1 port 10 and port x6 to switch-2 port 10.
Virtual Connect bay 2 port x5 connect to switch-1 port 11 and port x6 to switch-2 port 11.
4 servers BL460 with a network adapter BL650:
All servers have 2 networks:
NETWORK-1 is management and backup VLAN with Shared UPlink and Smart Link.
NETWORK-2 is trunk VLANs, with Shared UPlink and Smart Link.
The problem is - when I boot the Switch 2920 (The Stack) all ports of the blade servers switched to down.
It causes the cluster to lose the network!
We work with Hyper-v 2016, and the management network should be up all the always for the Heartbeat.
My question is - if I will disable the Smart Link on management network that network local will continue to work even if all Shared UPlink is down?
Thank you a lot!
Aleksei.

Thanks in advance
VirtualConnect and configuring LACP on a vpshere distributed switch
I have 3 hosts that are running ESXi 6 in vsphere 6. All three hosts are connected to a dvswitch. Is there anything that should be configured on the dvswitch itself regarding LACP? I remember just adding all four flexnics to the distributed switch and then not configuring LACP on the dvswitch itself. From what ii remember, LACP shouldn't be configiured on the dvswitch because of the two physical nics converting to flexnics. I haven't worked on Flex10' virtualconnects in 4 years now. Really rusty.
This existing configuration has LAGs configured on the dvswitch and we are having problems with packet loss on many VMs.

Virtual Connect Manager 4.20 hangs - Loading, please wait
Hello
When I want to run connect manager for my HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 / 10G switch, the login screen keeps showing "loading please wait". Nothing else happens. I have tried other browsers (Firefox version 24, IE 11,10 ..) As it is in the recommendations and unfortunately no reaction. This panel is in version 4.20. I read various posts for versions up to 4.01 because others had similar problems but unfortunately it does not help. Can someone help me?
