Port Mapping

Port mapping differs slightly between full height and half height server blades due to the support for additional Mezzanine cards on the full height version.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has simplified the processes of mapping Mezzanine ports to switch ports by providing intelligent management tools via the Onboard Administrator and HPE Insight Manager Software. The Onboard Administrator Guide, Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide provides detailed information on port mapping.

The following are supported configurations for the HPE Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-Port Fibre Channel Module. Please note that other interconnect options can be installed in the enclosure, but they do not inherit the benefits of Virtual Connect. Switches and Pass-Thru modules will operate per their default configurations. Any moves, adds, or changes to servers which are connected to non-Virtual Connect modules will require reconfiguration on the LAN and/or SAN. The Virtual Connect Manager will only manage Virtual Connect Modules.

The HPE Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-Port Fibre Channel Module requires a Virtual Connect Ethernet Module installed in the system for management and administration. The HPE Virtual Connect 8Gb 24-Port Fibre Channel Module requires Virtual Connect Manager Firmware version 2.10 or higher. Following are more details:

Stacking Configuration

Stacking is only supported on Virtual Connect Ethernet Modules. The Virtual Connect Fibre Channel modules are managed via the Virtual Connect Ethernet Modules. The Virtual Connect firmware is dynamically mirrored between modules so all configuration data is updated simultaneously in a stack. Fibre Channel data packets are not transmitted between modules in a stacked configuration.

Product Features

Performance

• (8) 2/4/8 Gb Auto-negotiating Fibre Channel uplinks connected to external SAN switches
• (2) Fibre Channel SFP+ Transceivers included with the Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module
• (16) 1/2/4/8 Gb Auto-negotiating Fibre Channel downlink ports provide maximum HBA performance
• HBA Aggregation on uplinks ports using ANSI T11 standards-based N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) technology
• Allows up to 255 virtual machines running on the same physical server to access separate storage resources
• Extremely low latency throughput provides switch-like performance.

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 16:1 NPIV Fibre Channel concentration.

Data Center Connectivity

Each Virtual Connect Fibre Channel module supports up to 8 SAN fabrics and is typically connected to a Fibre Channel switch that has been configured to run in NPIV mode. The 8 uplink ports are speed selectable from 2, 4 or 8Gb/s.

The setup wizard 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 server and the SAN switch. The Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module appears as a pass-thru device to the SAN, yet cables are reduced as high as 16:1.

Management Features

An HPE Virtual Connect Ethernet Module must be present in order to configure the VC FC Modules. This provides a complete Virtual Connect Environment for the server connections.

Simple and intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) for defining, configuring, and managing all elements of the Virtual Connect Domain.

Setup Wizards for initial domain installation and configuration and network and SAN configuration.

Comprehensive administration, definition, and management of Ethernet Networks, Shared Uplink Sets using VLANS, SAN Fabric management, and Server Profiles

Domain Management of user accounts, enclosure, Virtual Connect domain settings, and firmware updates

The location and status of Virtual Connect Modules in the HPE c-Class Enclosure and Onboard Administrator can be viewed from the Hardware Status page. Including at-a-glance detailed information of the hardware elements via mouse-over pop-up windows.

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

VC manager runs as a high-availability pair when HPE VC-Ethernet Modules are installed in adjacent bays. All configuration data is stored in flash memory and checkpointed to the standby module. Configurations can also be backed up to a workstation via the GUI.
