Using an NC364M quad port NIC in BL465G7/C7000

[Lansley2000]

Hello all,

I wonder if somebody could help with the below?

I have two BL465 G7 blades fitted with the embedded Flex-10 plus a NC364M 4 port 1Gb NIC mez card

At the back of the C7000 enc I have two 1/10Gb VC modules.

I have the two 1/10Gb VC modules situated in bays 3 and 4 and the NC364M is in Mez slot 1 in the blades

(I found that if I had the 1/10Gb VC modules in bays 1 and 2 I would get mez card/port mismatches within the OA)

From using the onboard administrator I can only see two ports being displayed (1 on each VC interconnect)

I need to get the use of  4 NIC ports somehow, using either the onboard Flex-10 or the 4 port NIC mez card

Can anyone please advise what I need to configure/purchase?

Thanks

Hi.

The port mapping in the c7000 is hardwired. See the diagram in the link below. The hardwiring from mezz slot 1 only allow 2 nics to get connected. 

I'm not familiar with the VC modules so i can't give you any advice on them.
