DL380 Gen10 Plus & 4 NIC 4-port

[MQuilpatay]

I am trying to configure a DL380 Gen10 Plus with 4 eth adapters, each with 4 ports 10Gb, but OCA says that i cannot include more than 14 transceivers.

Are there any restrictions bout this?

Rgds,

Can you more elaborate query?

Thanks for your answer.

DL380 G10+ is P05172-B21 ABA with 2 cpu Xeon-Gold 6342 2.8GHz 24-core 230W.

16 x 32GB ram

1 boot module NS204i-p x2 Lanes NVMe PCIe3 

It has 6 SSD drives, and:

3 Broadcom BCM57504 Ethernet 10/25Gb 4-port SFP28 Adapter for HPE

1 Broadcom BCM57504 Ethernet 10/25Gb 4-port SFP28 OCP3 Adapter for HPE

Transceivers are 455883-B21  HPE BladeSystem c-Class 10Gb SFP+ SR

The problem is that OCA claims that maximun configurable transceivers are 14, and the 4 NICS need 16.

Power are 2 HPE 1600W Flex Slot Platinum Hot Plug 

I checked with the Power Advisor and say that utilization power is 971.45W (90%) and max is 1.052.

Is an OCA problem, or there are a real restriction?

The quickspecs of the server does not  show any restrictions as such for the SFP's. It may be possible that the information entered in OAC could not be matching. Suggest you to check with a reseller as they will be having different configuration you can check from.

I did it... and also with a presales in HPE here in Chile, but that cannot founf a real reason.

We are assuming is a problem in OCA.

You can check OCS if it shows the same error:-
