C7000 test setup
Hi all
i have a c7000 im using as a test bed. i need to test the VC-FC 4Gb module and wondered what the simpliest but most effective way to test one would be.
would it be possible to connect a VC-FC module using all 4 ports to a FC switch and from the switch an MSA unit that has 4x volumes and each volume assigned to a FC port.
Would 2x blades with dual FC cards see 2x volumes each?
IF this makes sense!!!!
Thanks

Re: C7000 test setup
Hello,
I hope the VC-ENET / FlexFabric Modules are installed on the Primary two interconnect slots of the enclosure.
We strongly suggest using the 4GB VC-FC with conjuction to a VC ENET/Fabric Modules on the 1st and 2nd slots of the Blade chassis Interconnect Modules and not as StandAlone.
there are two supported VC SAN fabric types, Fabric-Attach fabrics and Direct- Attach fabrics. A Fabric-Attach fabric uses the traditional method of connecting VC-FC and VC FlexFabric modules, which requires an upstream NPIV-enabled SAN switch. A Direct-Attach fabric reduces storage networking costs and removes the complexity of FC switch management by enabling you to directly connect a VC FlexFabric module to a supported HP 3PAR Storage System.
Please refer the Document below which explains Rules, Supported Configuration examples:

Re: C7000 test setup
Hi
Thanks for you reply
yes im using the Vc-enet aswell.
the one thing i wanted to confirm is can i configure it so the 2x blades with dual FC ports be mapped to 2x ports on the VC-Fc card?
Thanks
