8Gb SAN Switch redundancy
The HP BladeSystem c-Class was engineered as a no-single-point-of-failure bladed solution. Attributes that
contribute to switch redundancy include:
•
Redundant power and cooling
•
Redundant HP Onboard Administrator (OA) to ensure management access to the switch
NOTE:
The HP Onboard Administrator is the enclosure management module used to support and manage the HP
BladeSystem c-Class and all managed devices used in the enclosure.
