VC Stacking links

Ed Cox — Wed, 02 May 2007 17:47:54 GMT

Hi all,
Would anyone know if it's possible to connect VC stacking links between enclosures that reside in different Racks? I have seen during the VC setup that when you set up the VC domain ...you import the Enclosure into it. And during the import process it lists what Rack the Enclosure is a member of...but I don't know if you can join together enclosures from different racks into the same VC domain.
Thanks!

Virtual Connect Domains currently can not link across enclosures.

Does anyone know if this is now possible? The HP virtual connect web page claims it is but lists the feature under options.

Many Thanks

Ben:

not yet. As of firmware version 1.21 you can still only have one enclosure per domain.

This is a little different than the functionaility you were asking about but it can accomplish many of the same things:
