HP OneView - Manual (Page 148)

19.2.5.2.1 Requirements and best practices for an active/active configuration
To have a functioning active/active configuration in HP OneView, you must have two HP Virtual
Connect modules and set up the resources according to the following requirements. For an example
of an active/active configuration, see
“Sample active/active configuration” (page 149) .
Best practice Requirement Resource
Designate a network name for a paired network
using the following naming convention
<purpose>
_<VLAN ID>_<side> where:
•
<purpose> could be dev, mgmt, prod, or
other purpose and
•
<side> 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 and another for the
second interconnect module using the same
VLAN ID. Smart Link must be selected on both
networks. Networks
Assign names to uplink sets with a specific
designator with the following naming convention
<uplink set name>
_<side>, where
•
<side> could be A or B, 1 or 2, or right
or left.
A pair of uplink sets to associate the networks
to 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 following
naming convention <purpose>_<side> where:
•
<purpose> could be dev, mgmt, prod, or
other purpose and
•
<side> could be A or B, 1 or 2, or right
or left.
A pair (or more) of network sets. Each set should
include only networks that are intended to be
used on the same server profile connection.
For example, if Net_101_A is in uplink set
US_A, which has ports from interconnect module
in bay 1, Net_101_A must be associated with
the downlink port that is connected to the
interconnect module in bay 1 (such as
LOM1:1-a).
Network Sets
Specific physical ports to which you want the
network or network sets mapped. 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. Server Profiles
