Using FlexFabric modules
This section describes scenarios to add or replace existing Ethernet and FC modules with FlexFabric
modules.
Adding FlexFabric modules to an existing VCEM managed VC Domain
This scenario describes how to add two extra FlexFabric modules in an existing VC Domain with
Ethernet and FC modules. It also describes how to start using FlexFabric functionality in existing
or new server profiles.
1.
Remove the VC Domain from the existing VC Domain Group "A".
2. Upgrade the VC Domain firmware to the latest version for FlexFabric support.
3. Add the two FlexFabric modules in both horizontally adjacent bays with appropriate FC SFP+
transceivers.
4. Create new Ethernet networks and new FC SAN fabrics linked to the new FlexFabric module
uplink ports.
5. Create a new VC Domain Group using the latest version of VC firmware in VCEM with the
VC Domain HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24port module.
6. Perform the first four steps again for each managed VC Domain that you want to add the HP
Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24port module to and add the VC Domain to the new VC
Domain Group.
After performing all the steps in “Adding FlexFabric modules to an existing VCEM managed VC
Domain” (page 49) , you can create or edit any existing server profiles and use the available
networks or SAN Fabrics from the FlexFabric module to create FCoE or iSCSI connections.
Replacing VC Ethernet modules in interconnect bays one or two with FlexFabric
modules in an existing VCEM managed VC Domain
This scenario describes how to replace the existing primary VC-Ethernet 10/10Gb-F modules in
interconnect bays one or two using FlexFabric modules in an existing VC Domain. It also describes
how to start using FlexFabric functionality in existing or new server profiles.
1.
Remove the VC Domain from the existing VC Domain Group.
