Invalid Flex-10 configuration?
A few weeks ago we ordered some hardware which i had to install today but i ran into problems assigning virtual networks to the Flex-10 mezz cards.
Here's the setup:
- Blade c7000 enclosure
- HP Proliant BL460c G1 servers
Bay1-2: HP Flex-10 VC cards
Bay3-4: QLogic FC Switches
Bay5-6: Standard Gigabit switches for blades
I think this setup is incorrect. When i want to assign virtual networks i only see two ports to assign networks to, both locked at 1Gbit. Is this because the embedded NICs of the blades are connected to bay 1 and bay 2?
The reason we took G1 blades is because of CPU compatibility. How could we correct this setup? The only way i see it is get two other VC Flex-10 modules and put them in bay 5 and 6, am i right?
Regads,
Joris

You don't tell if You have 10Gb mezz cards inside your blades.

The G1 blades have 2 onboard Broadcom nics which are attached to bay one and two as you say.
Mezz slot 1 contains a Qlogic HBA card and Mezz slot 2 contains a Flex-10 nic.

Re: Invalid Flex-10 configuration?
I tried that configuration but i can't logon to the VC manager, it gives an error. I searched for the solution and it brings me to an HP site that states i need to place the Flex-10 modules in bay 1 and 2.

Re: Invalid Flex-10 configuration?
I'd recommend you put the 1/10F modules in there as they have more memory that may be needed for the more complicated Flex-10 networking.
Also I was lead to believe by HP that 1Gb NICs connected to Flex-10 modules can run at up to 2.5Gb? Not been able to check myself yet.

Re: Invalid Flex-10 configuration?
That's correct, certain multifunction NICs (i.e. NC373x) can run at 2.5Gbps when paired with Flex-10 modules and any driver greater than 4.4.24.0.
