Creating FCoE HBA connections for a BL890c i4
Additional steps are necessary when a BL890c i4 is installed, and the enclosure has FCoE modules in bays
1 and 2. The figure below shows the first four connections created by default, plus four additional
connections that were added manually. The FCoE entries for I/O bays 1 and 2 (highlighted below) get
mapped to LOMs 1 and 2 on blades 1 and 2. The next pair of entries for I/O bays 1 and 2 would get
mapped to LOMs 1 and 2 on the third blade, and the fourth set of entries for I/O bays 1 and 2 would get
mapped to LOMs 1 and 2 on the fourth blade.
To have FCoE entries mapped to LOMs 3 and 4 on each blade in the server, you must add three extra sets
of FCoE entries, and then add the additional entries for I/O bays 1 and 2. See ports 17-24 in the figure
below.
Creating FCoE HBA connections for a BL870c i4
Referencing the previous figures, entries 1-8 would be mapped as shown. Entries 9 and 10 would then be
mapped to LOMs 3 and 4 on the first blade in the BL870c i4, entries 11-12 would be as in this example
except that they would be UNMAPPED, and entries 13-14 would be mapped to LOMs 3 and 4 on the second
blade. The remaining entries would not be needed.
Limited Ethernet connections when using HP Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D modules
Introduction of the dual-hop FCoE support in VCM v4.01 enabled the ability to map newly created FCoE
connections to the HP VC Flex-10/10D module.
