Migration procedure of HP VC FlexFabric-20/40 F8 Module to OneView

December 2, 2020, 7:24 am

Hi, i have 2 enclosure c7000 with 2 VC each.  

The models are HP VC FlexFabric-20/40 F8 and has a latest firmware 4.85.

I setup a virtual machine OneView 5.50.00-0426657 (vmware).

I have 32 license OneView Advanced (no iLO).

I would like to be able to manage the two enclosures with OneView.
I have some questions for you.
a) Does it make sense to have only one oneview or better to dedicate one per enclosure?
b) Is it better to have it outside the infrastructure or can it be a virtual machine inside the infrastructure?

c) Can you tell me the procedure for the migration of the vc in oneview mode?

Thanks to much!

Re: How to configure VC network if I need bond two nic with active-standby mode

Hello

When configuring Virtual Connect, we can provide several ways to implement network fail-over or
redundancy. One option would be to connect TWO uplinks to a single Virtual Connect network; those two
uplinks would connect from different Virtual Connect modules within the enclosure and could then
connect to the same upstream switch or two different upstream switches, depending on your
redundancy needs. An alternative would be to configure TWO separate Virtual Connect networks, each
with a single, or multiple, uplinks configured. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages. For
example; an Active/Standby configuration places the redundancy at the VC level, where Active/Active
places it at the OS NIC teaming or bonding level.

Please refer HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric Cookbook with multiple scenario's (step by step configuration) and accordingly select and implement one of the best scenario which matches to your requirement.

I think my configuration would be Active Standby option (the alternative option).

When I configure LAN-monitor, is it the same as configure it with the physical network adapter of rack server?

BL890 i4 cannot boot to OS after creating the server profile

Hi guys,
I faced a new issue after upgrade the vc fc firmware.
The problem is:
I create a server profile, defined the network adapter and fc hba, assigned it to the bl890c blade. After waiting several minitues, I powered on the blade. Then I connect to the iLO and monitor the boot process in VFP. when the server boot to the "vc_clp_dev" process, it didn't go forward, and after 30-40 minutes, the server is reset.
I didn't find any error in vcm, oa, and even the blade's event log.
The vc firmware is 4.20.
There are 2 vc flex-10 and 2 vc fc 8Gb 20 port modules.

Yes, its same as you configure on physical NIC of rack server.

HI anup , 

Yes , You can assign VLAN 100 to all your ethernet interfaces.

You just need to specify it when creating the shared uplink set

Booting External Server's PXE from Blade

January 27, 2020, 4:30 pm

Hi all!

I recently got my hands on a c7000 enclosure with the HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-Port Modules. I have 4 ports configured as a shared uplink that goto an arista switch as a trunked port channel. There are two networks; one for external connections, and a internal vlan for cluster management, storage i/o access. 

The first one is configured with smart link and assigned to the first port of every blade, but while trying to enable smart link on the other network, it would kick in immediately and take down the ports as if there was no uplink.

My issue is while the blades PXE booted fine on the internal network; I am seeing no packets coming into my PXE hosts from my external storage servers in the same VLAN, I see them tagged with the proper vlan on the arista, but it seems the never make it to VC or past VC.

Let me know what I should post for diagnostics; thank you!

Smart Link actively manages downlink states when uplinks lose link state. Each VC downlink port connects to a server NIC. If an uplink port loses link to the external switch, Virtual Connect drops all of the Ethernet downlinks in that network connected to each server NIC. This allows servers to see the downed link and to failover, if needed. This feature is useful when using certain server network teaming (bonding) configurations.

With reference to reported issue "no packets coming into my PXE hosts from my external storage servers in the same VLAN".

Please refer the HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric Cookbook and review your VC configuration. 

https://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c02616817-9.pdf

If VC configuration is in place or unable to isolate the issue, please raise support ticket with HPE support team as multiple logs are required  to review to isolate the issue.

Re: Cannot login in VC with personal account after VC firmware update

Hello Tom!

I had the same issue as yours, 

I’ve identified a minor issue, related to LDAP authentication on VCM after upgrade to v4.75, using a domain account, I cannot login anymore on VCM.

The issue is detailed on HPE Advisory a00075901en_us

DESCRIPTION - Login to Virtual Connect Manager (VCM) using LDAP authentication will not function after updating the HPE BladeSystem c-Class Virtual Connect firmware to version 4.75. This occurs because in HPE Virtual Connect releases prior to 4.75, no verification of the LDAP server certificate was performed when a LDAP login was authenticated and would succeed even if there was no LDAP server certificate uploaded.

RESOLUTION - Beginning with HPE Virtual Connect 4.75 (or later), the code has been enhanced to mandate the presence of LDAP server certificate for LDAP user authentication.To resolve the login issue, a self-signed certificate must be generated on the LDAP server and then uploaded in the following page of the Virtual Connect Manager GUI: LDAP Settings -> LDAP Server Settings -> LDAP Certificate.

I hope this will help you!

Good luck!

reconfiguring IP address for BL870c server - virtual connect change needed?

Hello.  I am running HPUX 11.31 on a BL870c server in a c7000 enclosure.  I am trying to change the IP address on my lan3 config which has been connected to our backup network. We are moving it to a new backup network with a competely different IP.   I changed the IP for lan3 thru smh and used the subnet mask and broadcast IP's provided and verified.  I cannot ping this new IP from any server other server.  I tried to add a static route at the advice of a network admin, but it tells me the the network is unreachable.  I was told there may be a change that needs to be made to the virtual connect, but i only have command line access to it at this time and cannot find anything that might need to be changed..  Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.  thanks
