HP 449298-001 manual Fibre Channel setup, Adding uplink ports to a shared uplink port set

Page 46

Because VLAN tags are added or removed when Ethernet packets leave or enter the VC-Enet shared uplink, the VLAN tags have no relevance after the Ethernet packet enters the enclosure.

IMPORTANT: If you are deploying a server where VLAN tags will be used (added) on the server itself, do not connect the server Ethernet port carrying VLAN-tagged traffic to a shared uplink set.

Identifying an associated network as the native VLAN causes all untagged incoming Ethernet packets to be placed onto this network. Only one associated network can be designated as the native VLAN. All out- going Ethernet packets are VLAN tagged.

Adding uplink ports to a shared uplink port set

To add uplink ports to a shared uplink port set, use the add uplinkport command:

>add uplinkport enc0:1:2 uplinkset=MyUplinkSetName

Creating a network that uses a shared uplink port set

To create a network that uses a shared uplink port set, use the add network command:

>add network MyNewNetworkName uplinkset=MyUplinkSetName vlanid=156

Fibre Channel setup

To configure external Fibre Channel connectivity for the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, do the following:

1.Identify WWNs to be used on the server blades deployed within this Virtual Connect Domain.

2.Define available SAN fabrics.

Configuring WWN address ranges

•VC-Defined

>set domain WwnType=VC-Defined WwnPool=5

•Factory-Default

>set domain WwnType=Factory-Default

Each server blade FC HBA mezzanine card ships with factory default port and node WWNs for each FC HBA port. Each WWN is a 64-bit number that uniquely identifies the FC HBA port/node to other devices on the network. While the hardware ships with default WWNs, Virtual Connect has the ability to assign WWNs that will override the factory default WWNs while the server remains in that Virtual Connect enclosure. When configured to assign WWNs, Virtual Connect securely manages the WWNs by
