VC-FlexFabric Flat SAN-Boot from SAN using non-stacked c7000?

[chuckk281]

Ron had some questions regarding boot-from-SAN and the VC FlexFabric module:

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

Reading page 6 of the 

Implementing HP Virtual Connect Direct-Attach Fibre Channel with HP 3PAR StoreServ Systems

Which states

“A server profile migration of a profile assigned to a SAN-booted server between enclosures in the Multi- Enclsoure Domain is not supported

 A server profile assigned to a SAN-booted server cannot be migrated between enclosures in the Multi-Enclsoure Domain.

 When VC Domains are managed by Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM), a server profile migration of a SAN-booted server between enclosures within the same Virtual Connect Domain Group (VCDG) or between VCDGs is not supported."

• What if we have separate domains per c7000?
• Can we support “Boot from SAN” if we are not stacking the virtual connect modules together between multiple c7000? 
• Can we support “Boot from SAN” and use VCEM to migrate server profiles between c7000 that are not stacked together but attached to same Ethernet top of rack switches.

Reply from Hoa:

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

1. Remember: VC Domain = one or more C7000.   One C7000 = one domain.

2. Yes. We do support if we are not stacking the virtual connect modules

3. No.

Input from Dan:

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

This has nothing to do with stacking and everything to do with 2+ enclosures with Boot-from-Flat-SAN.

Target WWPNs will be different between the enclosures, so moving a profile requires manual intervention to change the target WWPN for the Boot targets.
