HPE Synergy Virtual Connect SE 32Gb FC Module QuickSpecs

The HPE Virtual Connect SE 32Gb FC Module for HPE Synergy is a Storage Area Network (SAN) interconnect with a wire-once change-ready technology.

The Fibre Channel (FC) module in conjunction with Synergy composer powered by HPE OneView allows workloads to be moved or managed without modifying the network. HPE OneView provides an intuitive management console for seamless connectivity between virtualized Synergy Compute Modules and 32Gb FC SAN fabrics.

For high performance enterprise data center environments, the HPE VC SE 32Gb FC module or the alternative, Brocade 32Gb FC SAN Switch Module for HPE Synergy, are the best choices for applications demanding low-latency high I/O performance, i.e., flash storage. The QSFP ports significantly simplify cabling infrastructure, reduce cabling from four to one, and help reduce power attributed to optics transceivers 2.5x. If deployment costs are a concern, by adopting the Synergy frame and Gen 6 32Gb FC technology, you can reduce costs and simplify connections to SANs, consolidate your network connections and enable administrators to add, replace and recover compute modules resources on-the-fly. The integrated Synergy design frees up rack space, reduces power and cooling requirements. The HPE Synergy VC SE 32Gb FC Module is protected by HPE Services 3-Years Next Business Day 9x5 Hardware Support.

Industry Standard NPIV Support

The Virtual Connect Fibre Channel module works by aggregating multiple FC HBA ports over a single N-port uplink through the use of N_port_ID virtualization (NPIV). NPIV allows multiple distinguishable identities (multiple port WWNs and port IDs) over a single N-port connection. Most Fibre Channel SAN switch vendors have support for NPIV in their latest firmware release. By conforming to the NPIV standard, SAN equipment interoperability simplified. The Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module Provides basic 4:1, 8:1, or 12:1 NPIV Fibre Channel concentration.

Data Center Connectivity

Each Virtual Connect Fibre Channel module supports up to 12 SAN fabrics and is typically connected to a Fibre Channel switch that has been configured to run in NPIV mode. The 12 uplink ports are speed selectable from 32, 16, or 8Gb/s.

The setup allows SAN administrators to name the fabric that servers will connect into and set the oversubscription rate. Fibre Channel boot parameters and WWN administration are configurable options that can be integrated into server profiles.

In an NPIV environment, there is an initial brief login function between the Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module and the data center switch. Once completed, all HBA connections appear as though they are directly connected between the compute modules and the SAN switch. The Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module appears as a pass-thru device to the SAN, yet cables are reduced as much as 12:1.

Management Features

Simple and intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) of composer based HPE OneView for defining, configuring, and managing all elements of the SAN.

Comprehensive administration, definition, and management of Ethernet Networks, Shared Uplink Sets using VLANs, SAN Fabric management, and Server Profiles
Management of user accounts, enclosure, Virtual Connect settings, and firmware updates

WWN Address Administration allows local administration of predefined WWN addresses ranges to allow pre-provisioning of SAN volumes.
