add new nimble in HPE Syngery

SSKd — Wed, 08 Dec 2021 13:40:33 GMT

We have Prod Syngery platform where 2 frames connected and configured all required settings in HPE One View.

From HPE Synergy ,it’s connected Fabric-A and Fabric-B and then to Nimble array .We have 8+8 connections from Nimble to FC switches .

Now we added one more new Nimble array in HPE One view where this new nimble uses 4+4 connections from Nimble to Fc switches.

Once I added New Nimble in HPE One View, controllers FC ports are properly mapped with Fabrics(A/B) in Hpe One view ,but I don’t find option/select port group for respective controller ports for New array

So can some one help me how to configure/select port group for Nimble array ports ? to make use of new nimble

Thankd in advance

This is supported, and is possible on the Storage System Ports screen:

Hi ChrisLynch

Thanks for your response .

But i don't find any Portgroup names to select/choose on storage system screen as i see only Auto option.

However i do have another Prod array added in same HPE one view and connected to Fabric switches with 8 +8 conections from nimble to FC switches where i can see portgroup names such as PG1,Pg2,PG3 and PG4 under this Prod Nimble system screen .

So i m nost sure where this port group is created in HPE one view and why can't i able to see these PG's for second nimble array

You type them into the field. They are not pre-defined values.

Thanks ChrisLynch.

I though ,PG was defined somewhere else in HPE One View to show pop in PG section .

Now i followed your instruction and typed manually Port group and helped to fix issue
