Virtual Connect overview
HP Virtual Connect is a set of interconnect modules and embedded software for HP BladeSystem c-Class
enclosures. VC simplifies the setup and administration of server connections and includes the following
components:
•
VC-Enet modules
o
HP VC Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module for BladeSystem c-Class
o
HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Module for BladeSystem c-Class, which provides the capability to
configure Ethernet and FC/FCoE or iSCSI connections
o
HP VC Flex-10/10D Module for BladeSystem c-Class
NOTE:
Using a Flex-10 capable NIC with an HP VC Flex-10 or FlexFabric module provides the
ability to divide a 10Gb NIC into four FlexNICs with configurable bandwidth.
•
VC-FC modules
o
HP VC 4Gb Fibre Channel Module for BladeSystem c-Class (enhanced NPIV)
o
HP VC 8Gb 24-Port Fibre Channel Module for BladeSystem c-Class
o
HP VC 8Gb 20-Port Fibre Channel Module for BladeSystem c-Class

HP VCM
NOTE:
Beginning with VC 4.10, the HP 4GB Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module is no longer
supported.
VC implements server edge virtualization between the server and the data center infrastructure so networks
can communicate with individual servers or pools of HP BladeSystem servers. Upgrade, replace, or move
server blades within the enclosures without visible changes to the external LAN and SAN environments. The
external networks connect to a shared resource server pools rather than to individual servers. VC cleanly
separates server enclosure administration from LAN and SAN administration.
