Overview

This chapter will provide several simple configuration scenarios of Virtual Connect, using a Single HP
BladeSystem c7000 enclosure with two Virtual Connect Ethernet modules installed in Bays 1 and 2. Each
scenario will provide an overview of the configuration, show how to complete that configuration and
include both GUI and CLI (scripted) methods. Where possible, examples for Windows and/or VMware
will also be provided.

Requirements

This chapter will utilize a single HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure with TWO Virtual Connect Ethernet
modules and a half height BladeSystem Server. The server will connect to the Virtual Connect models with
two 1Gb NICs. NIC 1 will connect to the VC module in Bay 1 and NIC 2 will connect to the VC module
in Bay 2.
A pair of managed network switches should also be provided, the switches should also be trunked
together.
It is assumed that a Virtual Connect Domain has been created either through the GUI or a CLI script and
no VC Networks, uplink sets or Server Profiles have been created.
