19.2.5.2.1 Requirements and best practices for an active/active configuration
An active/active configuration requires two HP Virtual Connect modules and resources that meet
the following requirements. For an example of an active/active configuration, see
active/active configuration” (page 152)
Best practice
Requirement
Resource
Designate a network name for a paired network
using the naming convention
_
•
could be dev, mgmt, or prod,
for example.
•
could be A or B, 1 or 2, or right
or left.
A pair of networks added for each VLAN you
want to connect:
•
At least one network for the first interconnect
module
•
Another network for the second interconnect
module using the same VLAN ID and
•
Smart Link selected on both networks.
Networks
Assign names to uplink sets using the naming
convention
where:
•
could be A or B, 1 or 2, or right
or left.
A pair of uplink sets to associate the networks
with the uplink ports on the interconnect module.
•
One set of networks assigned to the uplink
set with uplinks on the first interconnect
module
•
The other networks assigned to the uplink set
with uplinks on the second interconnect
module
•
Uplink ports in each uplink set are restricted
to one interconnect
Uplink Set
Designate a network set name using the naming
convention
•
could be dev, mgmt, or prod
for example.
•
could be A or B, 1 or 2, or right
or left.
One or more pairs of network sets. Each set
should include only networks that are intended
to be used in the same server profile connection.
For example, if Net_101_A is in uplink set
US_A, which has ports from the interconnect
module in bay 1, Net_101_A must be
associated with the downlink port connected to
the interconnect module in bay 1 (for example,
LOM1:1-a)
Network Sets
The physical ports to which you want to map
the network or network sets. Map the profile
connections to the downlink ports on the same
interconnect module as the uplinks on the uplink
set. This ensures that the networks associated
with the uplink ports in the uplink set match the
networks assigned to the profile connections in
the downlink ports.
