*BQ891-96004*
Overview
Instructions vary depending on whether this is an
upgrade (the 4330 is new and/or not in a
management group) or a migration (the 4330 is
already in a management group).
For an upgrade, the steps are:
1.
Install the 10 GbE board.
2.
Configure the 10 GbE ports.
3.
Configure bonds.
4.
Change the SAN/iQ interface (under the storage
system Network category, on the Communication
tab) to bond configured using 10 GbE ports
(NICSlot1:Port1 & 2).
For a migration, the steps are:
1.
Plan for the migration.
2.
Shut down the management group.
3.
Install the 10 GbE board.
4.
Configure bonds.
5.
Change the SAN/iQ interface (under the storage
system Network category, on the Communication
tab) to bond configured using 10 GbE ports
(NICSlot1:Port1 & 2).
6.
Prepare the host server.
The 10 GbE feature option adds 10 GbE to the HP
StoreVirtual 4330 platform. This is an add-on feature
to the 1 Gb 4 port FlexLOM module installed on the
system motherboard of the 4330 storage systems. After
the 10 GbE dual port Ethernet adapter is installed and
configured, users see six Ethernet interfaces listed in
the Centralized Management Console in the storage
system Network category, on the TCP/IP tab window
(four for 1 GbE and two for 10 GbE). These six
Ethernet interfaces can be bonded a number of ways.
The CMC reports the network interface names of these
six Ethernet interfaces as noted in
