Virtual Connect module upgrade to 16GB/24Port
Replacement of 8GB/24Port VC-FC modules with 16GB/24Port modules
Hello All,
we have an Production setup based on - OneView, Virtual Connect Modules and a MIX of HP ProLiant BL460c G9 and HP ProLiant BL460c G10 Blade-Servers.
Right now the environment is based on VC-FC 8GB/24Port fibre-Channel modules.
Due to throughput, increade of servers and workload and workload we need to upgrade to VC-FC 16GB/24Port Fibre-Channel modules.
As the environemtn is holding the production - ORACLE-RAC - Farm we we are looing for an upgrade path where we can achieve that on the fly, or at least with a minimum of downtime.
Our setup is as follows:
Version Kind Usage OA-Firmware VC-Ethernet-Firmware VC-Fibrechannel-Firmware
G3 C7000 - Platinum Enclosure MBB-RAC 4.80 4.62 3.09
G3 C7000 - Platinum Enclosure MBB-RAC 4.80 4.62 3.09
G3 C7000 - Platinum Enclosure MBB-RAC 4.80 4.62 3.09
G3 C7000 - Platinum Enclosure MBB-RAC 4.80 4.62 3.09
ProLiant BL460c Gen10 HP LPe1605 16Gb FC HBA I41 v1.40 (06/15/2018) 1.35 Aug 14 2018
ProLiant BL460c Gen9 HP LPe1605 16Gb FC HBA I36 v2.60 (05/21/2018) 2.60 May 23 2018
HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module

Re: Virtual Connect module upgrade to 16GB/24Port
Hi ,
This activity (updgrading from HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module to C-FC 16GB/24Port Fibre-Channel modules) cannot be done on the Fly. Once you insert the 16GB modules in the enclosure, the Oneview appliance will detect the change in hardware, Hence all the associated profiles needs to be re-confgured to prevent any hardware mismatches . You wil need to schedule a downtime for this.
The difference with VC modules P08475-B21 and P08476-B21 is that P08476-B21 is TAA compliant
The Trade Agreements Act (TAA) was created to foster fair international trade with certain designated countries. Companies who are working with foreign-made products or services need to be aware of what companies are restricted in order to remain compliant with the TAA and GSA. The U.S. Government was required to only obtain products and services that were made in the United State or end products from TAA comlipant countries.
