Add more NICs into blade server
I have BL460c G6 servers hosting by a c7000 enclosure.
by default these kind of server has 2 10G NICs. How could i add an additional NIC? I've got some idea to add a NIC into my server logically without add any more physically ones, but unfortunatelly I have no idea how to do it. Is it actually possible ?
Any help will be very appreciated.
thanks!

(At a Glance section)
there's a list of Mezzanine card types, and one option is
"Ethernet server adapter mezzanine options for additional network ports "
So, I checked a bit around...
On this page you'll find among other things, quad-port mezzanine cards.
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/c-class-adapters.html
You probably have to add a switch in the rear of your c7000, though. (I'm not an expert on mezzanine cards and the whole inteconnect thingamajig...)
Alternatively, one of these boxes and a couple of PCI-whatever cards?

(There may be a speed penalty, though. Also, you get patch cables sticking out the front of your c7000, then, and that just doesn't look nice.)

Re: Add more NICs into blade server
have on mind that you need additional switches / virtual connects in blade chasis when using mezzanine cards in blade servers. Of course, it depends on configuration.

Re: Add more NICs into blade server
2) You can replace interconnect modules installed in bay 1 and 2 of c7000, by HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 modules. Then two 10G NICs of each blade server will convert to eight FlexNICs.
Read the doc:
HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 technology: Convergence with FlexFabric components

Re: Add more NICs into blade server
Second, if you have the appropriate interconnects, you use the Virtual Connect manager to define Server profiles. In your Server Profiles is where you can split your Flex-Nic's into 8 logical adaptors and assigned them to various network profiles.

Re: Add more NICs into blade server
Open the profile in VCM, Put your cursor inside the "Ethernet Connections" box, and Right-click. Select "New Connection"
