I have a C7000 Blade system with 2xCisco 3020's in the back. I am using 6 servers at the moment. All is OK except my servers here sometimes become less responsive in times of heavy traffic.
On looking at my Blade, I appear to only have one port enabled on each switch. If I go into the config, it says the port is enabled, but in the dashboard it says the others are disabled.
If I reboot the switch, its not necessarilt the same one that comes up, but one always does - but only one.
Have I missed some config here - and is this a problem. If I am understandint his right, I will have a 1GB link from each switch. 2GB to my 18 servers is not alot!
As you can see Im new to Blades!
Anyone out there give me a few tip?
Thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.

And You can get up to 8 uplinks per switch, so 16 Gbs uplink bandwith is available.
You can find me from Twitter @JKytsi

Re: Blade C7000 with Cisco 3020 Switch
Now, can I be so cheeky to ask advice on what I do about it?
I have all the ports plugged into 1 of 2 HP 54xx switches (with spanning tree turned on). What would you suggest as the best route forward? Trunking?
And I am not very literate with Cisco, only HP.....but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Blade C7000 with Cisco 3020 Switch
Yes, Trunk will be the best option.
HP Trunk = Cisco Etherchannel
On the cisco side, It should look like below:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range igabitethernet0/17 - 22
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode on
Switch(config-if-range)# end
Procurve usage:
trunk [ethernet] PORT-LIST
[trunk|lacp]
no trunk [ethernet] PORT-LIST
Do you need all your servers on vlan1??? if there is more that 1, then configure IEEE 802.1q on those ports.

Re: Blade C7000 with Cisco 3020 Switch
All my servers are going to the same VLAN (300) yes, so that should be OK. If I leave them on VLAN 1 in the switch config, that should be OK shouldnt it? As my switch ports are untagged to that VLAN anyway.
Thanks very much for your help in the meantime,
Regards
