Hi guys,
I have two servers, an MSA, and two Aruba 3810 as attached. I dont have a SAN switch, and wondering how this connectivity will be done. Can i still use the same switches for both SAN and server uplinks?
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionIf we talk about the hardware you have mentioned in the worksheet, both MSA 2052 Storage and Aruba 3810M Switch support SPF+ devices ( let’s park the question on server and switch uplink aside for a while)
It must be understood that every SFP+ device has a set of SFPs that it supports (Transceivers and DACs), and every switch model that supports SFP+ device has a choice of uplinks.
Choice of uplinks: − SFP+ uplink models: provide fiber-optic (up to 70 km) or direct-attach-cable (DAC) connectivity.
Both options are available to build an Ethernet connection as Aruba 3810M switch model offers that functionality.
Please refer page 4- https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04843019.pdf
Now, talking about the ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Server, the worksheet includes HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2 port SPF+ adapter.
Thus, we have another end of the device establishing Ethernet Connection i.e.; SPF+ device.
Caveats:
The choice of uplinks depends on the type of Ethernet connection you want to build (Transceivers/DACs).
Supported cables must be connected to establish a device-to-device Ethernet connection.
