Single Enclosure, Single VC Flex-10, blade with no mezzazine config, msa2000i

[Beka]

Hello,

I’ve tried to do research before post new thread here, but with my equipment was difficult to find our proper design.

my rack:

HP c3000 Enclosure

Single HP 1/10Gb-F VC-Enet Module

2x HP BL490c G6 servers with no additional mezzanine (network) cards

Single msa2012i iSCSI storage with double controllers (12 SATA disk configured to SINGLE storage RAID10)

Please advise me best design configuration for VMware vShpere, all articles in inertnet about double VC net module and with mezzanine cards

What is best practice with single vcnet module and LOM on bobo of servers

[Beka]

what we have done till now?

we have used 4 VC 1gb ports connected to swith with LAG, so we have uplink to our core swith with 4gb bandwith.

we have created to 2 VLANs for iSCSI traffic. and specfied this network in VC net module.

as most of instruction explains that we should have TWO vc net modules and have mezzanine cards on the server. now our budget do not allow us to buy this cards and modules.

can we have more that 2 LOMs using virtual connect?
