https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/vc-e-net-module-port-failover/m-p/4201721#M2850 Setting up our c7000 right now trying to perform some testing on the failover process.<BR />For simplicity sake, we have a VC enet module in both bay 1 and 2. Have a shared uplink set on bay 1 consisting of ports 1,2 (trunked at the switch level) and a secondary shared uplink set in bay 2 ports 1,2 (trunked at the switch level). So essentially trunked 2 gig uplink for prod and 2 gig uplink for failover.<BR />Should i be able to pull (essentially to imitate a failure) ports 1,2 out and have the failover take place to the uplink defined on Bay 2? The thought right now is to define a shared uplink, and add the bandwidth (ports) as needed however retain the ports in bay 2 for redundancy sake. I would think mapping the servers to the shared uplink ports on bay 1 would work, then have bay 2 mirror bay 1 from a port standpoint back to the switch. or do I have to point pnet1 to bay 1 and pnet 2 to bay to in order to retain the failover capability?<BR /><BR />thanks for the assistance Tue, 20 May 2008 21:52:13 GMT Derek Brawders_2 2008-05-20T21:52:13Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/vc-e-net-module-port-failover/m-p/4201721#M2850 Setting up our c7000 right now trying to perform some testing on the failover process.<BR />For simplicity sake, we have a VC enet module in both bay 1 and 2.
