VC Basis configurationVC Flex-10VC 1/10GB ethernetVC 4GB FCVC 8GB FCnotes:1. define a network choose uplink port2. define a profile choose which NIC will map to which uplink3. Before VC 2.30 (will be released soon), we can only assign/modify profile when the server is offline4. if uplink is untagged vlan, do not specify vlan in the VCnetwork, server NIC will handle the vlan5. if uplink is trunking with multiple vlan, use shared uplink set to specify different vlan.6. Flex-10 NIC each subNIC group can be assigned to the same network (ex: LOM1:a and LOM2:a)7. Flex NIC in different group must assign to different network (ex: LOM1:a and LOM1:b)factory default VC, setup wizard.import a enclosure to a domaincreate a domain in the enclosure.Becareful that the network link will temporily down during domain creation.enclosure info summarydomain name.VCM user account.then to the network wizard.Using VCM define Mac addressmake sure different VC domain are not using the same MAC address.stacking link topology, after stacking, blade server network port can access any VC module even its not directly connect to it.leave this option uncheck, the network defination will not restrict the setting when multiple vlan exist in a share uplink.define network later.using HP defined WWN.same a ethernet module.define FC later.the define option usage:1. ethernet network: if uplink is untag vlan (example: only vlan10 in port1)2. SAN fabic: define SAN mapping3. Share uplink set: if uplink is trunking with multiple vlan (ex: vlan1,2,3)4. Server Profile: Assign network/SAN, MAC/WWN to the serverDomain settings: like the previous wizardfirmware management: firmware verification, update.define network: select a network port and assign a name to it.view the status.assign the network to the specific network port in the profile.verify the port mapping, check if the port is exactly mapped to the network you want to.Becase Bay3 is stacking with bay1, bay4 is stacking with bay2.So I map the Bay3,4 network to the network port connected to Bay1,2. The mapping is ok, no error found.backup/restore configuration in domain setting.If more VC is stacking (from other C7000), add the other VC/enclosure in this page.alternate VCM IP address.rename or delete domain.ethernet setting. enable this function will help to failover more efficient.enable IGMP snooping for high usage of banwidth.define share uplink set, multiple vlan can be defined in the same uplink. the smart link option can contribute to the uplink failure detection in the server NIC.1. if the smart link is unchecked, when a uplink port cable unplugged, the network connection show in the OS is good (because the connection between NIC and VC is good)2. If the smart link is enable, when a uplink port cable unplugged, the network connection showed in OS is media disconnected, the smart link let NIC to detect the uplink failure.Flex-10 network usage: each network is associated be a pair uplink of the Flex-10 VC.assign the same uplink to all of the NIC in BL495G5 (LOM and Flex-10NIC)error comes out when the profile assigned to the server.solution: each flex10 NIC group must assign to individ
