Connect the 10 GbE FlexLOM ports to different 10 GbE switches.
Use VLANs on each switch according to the network separation rules specified in the HPE OmniStack for vSphere
Administrator Guide.
Direct-connected network configuration
A direct-connected network configuration for a federation with two HPE SimpliVity 380 servers uses the 10 GbE connections
for the HPE OmniStack Storage and Federation networks. Redundant 1 GbE connections to 1 GbE switches provide the
Management network.
The following figure shows a sample configuration with rear boot drives. On your model, additional PCIe cards may be installed
in the secondary PCIe riser.
Note:
Your system must have a 10 GbE connection and either an optional 1 GbE NIC in a PCIe slot or the embedded
4-port 1 GbE LOM depicted in the diagram below. Although the location of the 1 GbE interface on your system
may differ from the diagram, the port-to-port wiring is identical.
You cannot use direct connections for the 10 GbE ports if you have three or more systems in a datacenter.
Configuration guidelines for each server:
Directly connect the 10 GbE network interfaces.
