Re: HP VC NORMAL CONFIGURATION

The Network HA is achieved by "teaming" NIC's on the server side.

NIC Ports always come in 2's or 4's. Odd numbers (1,3,5...) map to Left Ethernet module, even numbers (2,4...) map to Right Ethernet module.

Set up team using NIC 1 (IC Bay 1), and NIC 2 (IC Bay 2). If Ethernet module fails, NIC will fail over and use other path.

Create Uplinkset_A on VC Enet Module 1 and Uplinkset_B on VC Enet module 2. For each
VC VLAN you create, create an A and a B, i.e.
VLAN_23_A and VLAN_23_B )(set the external VLAN ID to be the same on the A vLan and the B vLan). Tell VLAN_23_A to use Uplinkset_A. Tel VLAN_23_B to use Uplinkset_B.

In the profile, assign VLAN_23_A to Ethernet port 1, and VLAN_23_B to Ethernet Port 2.

now if primary nic is active, the server will it will use Port 1 (VLAN_23_A) --> Uplinkset_A. If NIC fails over, it will use Port 2 (VLAN_23_B) --> Uplinkset_B
