Multi-Enclosure Stacking and 2 Virtual Connect pairs per enclosure

[chuckk281]

Charles had a Multi-Enclosure Stacking question:

********************************************************

I’m looking for a cabling diagrams for a multi-enclosure stacking scenario

where the customer has the following:

VC-Flex 10 in bays 1&2

VC-FC in bays 3&4

VC 1/10F in bays 5&6

Basically I’m curious to see how, or if, we would/could run our

Ethernet cabling from the VC 1/10 into the VC-Flex-10 , or if we

would only interconnect the VC 1/10F between them or any other

combinations.

Where can I read on this specifically and the different implications

of one or the other cabling configuration ?

Vincent had some suggestions:

The multi-enclosure stacking guide is your friend: http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/getdocument.aspx?docname=4AA1-1555ENW.pdf

All its diagrams only have 2 modules per enclosure but it’s easy to adapt to 4 modules per enclosure: you could use the diagram with 4 enclosures in the paper to connect 2 enclosures with 4 modules each (same total of 8 modules). All the Virtual Connect Ethernet modules must be connected via stacking links in the domain, no difference whether they are Flex-10 or 1/10, they all need to be part of the stack.

Good info. Use the guides. They have a lot of useful data. Other suggestions?
