•
Redundancy Status indicates whether all VC-Enet modules would remain fully interconnected if a
module or external cable was removed or failed. Horizontally-adjacent modules are considered to have
OK redundancy status because of the reliability of their internal link.
o
OK indicates that redundant/reliable connections exist.
o
Degraded indicates that additional stacking cables should be connected to provide full
redundancy.
The table on this screen lists all of the Ethernet stacking links found within the Virtual Connect domain. Each
row of the table identifies the link speed and the connections on both sides of the link, identified by the
module and port number.
Port X0 indicates the 10Gb port connected through the midplane of horizontally-adjacent VC-Enet modules.
Ports X7 and X8 connect to the internal link between horizontally-adjacent Flex-10 enabled VC-Enet modules.
NOTE:
Virtual Connect does not support stacking for FC modules, so each VC-FC module
requires uplink connections to the external FC SAN environment.
For more information on connecting stacking links, and stacking links in a multi-enclosure environment, see
the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem Setup and Installation Guide on the Installing tab of the HP
BladeSystem Technical Resources website
Throughput Statistics screen
To access this screen, select Throughput Statistics from the Tools pull-down menu.
Telemetry support for network devices caters to seamless operations and interoperability by providing
visibility into what is happening on the network at any given time. It offers extensive and useful detection
capabilities which can be coupled with upstream systems for analysis and trending of observed activity.
The collection of Throughput Statistics can be enabled/disabled, and the sample rate can be configured. The
sampling rate determines the total sampling time frame. The available sampling rates go from 1 to 5 minutes
or 1 hour, collecting up to 12.5 days of samples, depending on the sampling rate.
