I am speccing up two Blade Chassi’s C7000 with 3 servers in each, server specs below.
The servers in these two chassi’s would form a hyper-v cluster ( 3 in each) 6 total.
1. BL680C (Intel)
2. 2 Procs (6 core)
3. 64 GB memory
4. 10 - 1GB - NICS
5. 4 Fibre ports (2 HBA’s dual port)
6. ILO
I plan to have a very redundant back pane as this is going to serve the company’s production environment
1. 2 Virtual connects Ethernet (60GB bandwith) overkill?
2. 2 FC virtual connects for 2 dual port HBA in each server.
Will the above be sufficient or will I need more than that?
Any help would be appreciated, will be reading on flex 10 as you guys help !!
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Blade Design Question
Looks like you would need to clarify the nic requirements and how you are able to configure networking within your system.
The flex 10 adapter gives you 4 'physical' nics (utilising 10 gigabits between them) on your server. You'ld need extra mezz/modules to add more. There was another recent thread explaining the options in this forum.

Re: Blade Design Question
networking as below
1. team vm traffic (vlan1) - 2 nics
1. team vm traffic (vlan2)
2. team live migration (vlan3)_ - 2 nics
3. team management (vlan4) - 2 nics
so in total 8 nics
i could also do with some capacity planning and have room for couple more, will i need additonal mezz card for that??

Re: Blade Design Question
Two of each type of module (in adjacent bays) would provide redundancy at the chassis level.

Re: Blade Design Question
A review of the virtual connect cookbook would be advised at this point as what you can do is dependent on the external network.
We use vlan tagging and have a 10g uplink to the core switches which does the job here.
