HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Modules are the simplest, most flexible way to connect virtualized server blades to data or storage networks. VC FlexFabric modules eliminate up to 95% of network sprawl at the server edge with one device that converges traffic inside enclosures and directly connects to external LANs and SANs. Using Flex-10 technology with Fibre Channel over Ethernet and accelerated iSCSI, these modules converge traffic over high speed 10Gb connections to servers with HP FlexFabric Adapters (HP NC551i or HP NC551m Dual Port FlexFabric 10Gb Converged Network Adapters or HP NC553i 10Gb 2-port FlexFabric Converged Network Adapter). Each redundant pair of Virtual Connect FlexFabric modules provide 8 adjustable downlink connections ( six Ethernet and two Fibre Channel, or six Ethernet and 2 iSCSI or eight Ethernet) to dual port10Gb FlexFabric Adapters on servers. Up to eight uplinks are available for connection to upstream Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches. VC FlexFabric modules avoid the confusion of traditional and other converged network solutions by eliminating the need for multiple Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches, extension modules, cables and software licenses. Also, Virtual Connect wire-once connection management is built-in enabling server adds, moves and replacement in minutes instead of days or weeks.

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. HP has simplified the processes of mapping Mezzanine ports to switch ports by providing intelligent management tools via the Onboard Administrator and HP Insight Manager Software. The Onboard Administrator Guide and Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide provide detailed information on port mapping.

NOTE:

Direct Attach Copper cables listed in the options section below is fully supported by HP. HP recommends use of these cables. If not identified as a "supported" DAC, VC will allow the connection to proceed if the discovery process indicates the cable meets the following criteria: connector=copper pigtail; transceiver code=active cable or passive cable; speed >=10Gb; length between 1m and 7m, inclusive. The connection is logged as an unsupported cable. Prior to requesting support from HP, a DAC from the supported list must be used to validate the issue.

Stacking Configuration

Stacking links are used to interconnect Virtual Connect Ethernet/FlexFabric Modules when using more than one enclosure or when using more than two Virtual Connect Ethernet/FlexFabric Modules in a single enclosure. All Virtual Connect Modules within the VC Domain must be interconnected. The following provides recommended configurations.

Interconnecting the modules allows all Ethernet NICs or CNAs on all server blades in the Virtual Connect domain to have access to any Virtual Connect Ethernet uplink port. By using these module-to-module links, a single pair of uplinks can be used as the data center Ethernet network connections for the entire Virtual Connect domain, and allows any server blade to be connected to any Ethernet network.

For additional stacking configuration information go to: HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem Setup and Installation Guide (

http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01732252/c01732252.pdf

NOTE:

Two (2) internal 10Gb links are provided between Virtual Connect modules in horizontally adjacent bays. Also, VC FlexFabric and VC Flex-10 configuration requires a HP ProCurve XFP to SFP+ 1m Direct Attach Copper Cable to connect an HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric Module and HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 Ethernet Module.

Security Features

HTTPS (HTTP exchanged over an SSL-encrypted session) is required for access to the Virtual Connect Manager. Access to the Virtual Connect Manager is via the system Onboard Administrator. Each user account can be configured for a combination of four access privileges to control and/or view elements in the Virtual Connect Manager. User verification by account name and password (Case Sensitive).

Each user account can be configured for a combination of four access privileges to control and/or view elements in the Virtual Connect Manager.

Role based customization to assign various privileges to Server Admin, Network Admin and Storage Admin.

LDAP Authentication services provide role based security via an LDAP SSL Directory Server connection.

TACACS+ authentication, authorization and accounting RADIUS authentication and authorization

Administrator controlled password length and strength requirements.

Private VLAN's for secure connectivity between servers within a domain.

Compliant with United States Department of Defense Policy on Use of Department of Defense (DoD) Information Systems Standard Consent Banner and User Agreement.

Configurable filtering of multicast traffic

GUI and CLI session timeout

Trunking, Failover and Other Networking Features

Shared Uplink Sets using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows the creation of Ethernet channeling with upstream switches that conform to IEEE

802.3ad. Ports can alternatively be configured for failover only.

External ports within a Port Set can be on the same VC Ethernet module or on multiple VC modules within the VC domain.

In the event of an uplink failure to a data center switch, the next highest performance uplink connection or aggregation will become active.

Fast MAC Cache failover enables rapid recovery of network connections when a standby module becomes active.

VLAN Features

802.1Q VLAN supported on uplinks.

Uplink ports can be configured for VLAN tagging at egress or pass-thru of tagged VLAN packets from Server ports.

Native VLAN support for untagged packets on a shared uplink set. Packets can be targeted to a specific server ports.

Simultaneous tunneled and mapped VLAN connections to a single domain.

Industry Standard NPIV Support

The Virtual Connect FlexFabric module works by first converting FCoE traffic from multiple FLEXFABRIC ADAPTER ports to native Fibre Channel and then aggregating it over a single N-port uplink through the use of N_port_ID virtualization (NPIV). NPIV allows multiple distinguishable identities (multiple port WWNs or port IDs) over a single N-port connection. All 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 FlexFabric Module can aggregate traffic from up to 255 physical and virtual servers per Fibre Channel uplink port and up to 255 virtual server connections per single downlink port.

Data Center Connectivity

Each Virtual Connect FlexFabric module supports up to 4 SAN fabrics and is typically connected to Fibre Channel switches that have been configured to run in NPIV mode. The 4 FC configurable 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 FlexFabric Module's uplink port and the data center SAN switch. Once completed, all FlexHBA connections appear as though they are directly connected between the server and the SAN switch. The Virtual Connect FlexFabric Module appears as a pass-thru device to the SAN, yet cables are reduced as much as 16:1

Management Features

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

Setup Wizards for server profile creation and initial domain installation and configuration and network configuration.

Comprehensive administration, definition, and management of Ethernet Network, Shared Uplink Set, SAN Fabric management and Server Profiles

MAC Address Administration allows local administration of predefined or userdefined MAC address ranges.

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 an HP VC Module is installed in the adjacent bay. 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.

A VC Ethernet module is not required in enclosure interconnect bay 1 or 2 when a VC FlexFabric Module is used in any bay as the primary VC module.

Up to 128 Network Access Groups can be defined to prevent enabling specific network combinations in the same server profile.
