3 Introduction This document describes the deployment procedures for building a comprehensive infrastructure that uses technologies from HP, VMware, Cisco, and Brocade using vsphere 6.0 and HP ProLiant Gen9 servers. The document is an extension of the original OneView Gen8 vsphere5.5 Deployment Guide, which includes some initial configuration tasks not specified here. The hardware and software for vsphere 6.0 deployment testing include the following: Infrastructure Components Products Version Blade server H/W HP BladeSystem C7000 Chassis with ProLiant BL460 Gen9 servers SPP Blade server I/O HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric-20/40 F8 Module for c-class BladeSystem 4.31 Storage HP 3PAR StoreServ node system 3.2.1(MU2)P12 Networking Cisco Nexus 5672UP Switches NX-OS 7.0(1)N1(1) SAN Fabric Brocade 6510 Switches FOS: v7.0.2c Management S/W Products Version Virtual Machine Management Infrastructure Management Storage Management VMware vcenter and vsphere 6.0 HP OneView infrastructure management virtual appliance PAR StoreServ Management Console 2.0 Although this is the default base design, each of the components can be scaled to support specific business requirements. For example, different quantities or combinations of blades and chassis can be deployed to increase compute capacity; additional disk shelves can be deployed to improve I/O capacity and throughput; and special hardware or software features can be added to introduce new features. Page 3
4 Testing Topology HP BladeSystem C7000 chassis is loaded with HP ProLiant BL460c Gen9 blades. All blade servers I/Os are provided by Virtual Connect FlexFabric 20/40-F8 interconnect module. HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 provides server storage for VMware datastore. 3PAR StoreServ not only provides Tier-1 storage performance and features like Adaptive Optimization but also is integrated with HP OneView infrastructure management platform for easy of provisioning. Ethernet networking consists of a pair of Cisco Nexus 5672UP switches. Nexus 5600 series are upgraded models over Nexus 5500 switches. The same vpc configuration guidelines with HP Virtual Connect modules discussed in this paper also apply to other Cisco Nexus product lines include Cisco Nexus 9000, Nexus 7000, Nexus 6000 and Nexus We choose Nexus 5600 platform because Cisco Nexus 5500 are widely deployed and connected with Virtual Connect in Data Center. We wanted to validate the latest Virtual Connect FlexFabric-20/40 F8 module continues to inter-operate with Nexus 5600/5500. Virtual Connect can also work with other data center switches from HP Network, Brocade, Arista, Juniper, Extreme, etc. Future OneView release will support FCOE uplink from Virtual Connect to Nexus switches. 40G uplink testing of Virtual Connect FlexFabric-20/40 F8 module has been covered in another separate technical white paper. SAN fabric consists of a pair of Brocade 6510 switches. The 6510 switch is the latest Brocade Gen 5 Fibre Channel product. It offers 48x16G FC ports. We tested 8G FC speed because Virtual Connect and 3PAR StoreServ support up to 8G FC interface. We Page 4
5 choose Brocade because of its leadership position in data center Fibre Channel fabric market. Meanwhile, HP OneView has built-in integration with Brocade Network Advisor to automatically provision SAN fabric for automatic zoning between servers and Fibre Channel storage array. HP OneView and Virtual Connect module can also work with Cisco MDS FC switches. Server infrastructure management is provided by HP OneView software. HP OneView is HP converged infrastructure platform managing server provisioning, monitoring, LAN and SAN networking configuration tasks. HP OneView integrates functions of all traditional HP management software such as Onboard Administrator, Virtual Connect Manager, Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager and Insight Control software. Beyond it, it also has built-in Brocade SAN Fabric as well as HP 3PAR StoreServ storage provisioning integration. Page 5
6 Network Configuration The two Nexus 5672 UP switches are set up as vpc cluster. When deploying Virtual Connect with Nexus switches vpc technology, typically one Virtual Connect module will have one link connecting to switch-1 and another link connecting to switch-2. On Switch side, users should config one vpc port-channel on both switches for the vpc switches communicating with this Virtual Connect module. Users should follow the same above cabling and configuration guidelines for the second Virtual Connect module. In summary, each Nexus switch should have two vpc port-channels, the first one is for communication with the first virtual connect module and the second one is for communication with the second virtual connect module. In our testing, Eth1/2 on both Nexus 5672 switches are connected with the first VC FF-20/40 F8 module in I/O bay 1 and the two Eth1/2 are bundled under vpc port-channel 101. Eth1/3 on both Nexus 5672 switches are connected with the second VC FF-20/40 F8 module in I/O bay 2 and the two Eth1/3 are bundled under vpc port-channel 102. Note: The most common mistakes when configuring Virtual Connect with Nexus vpc are a) not following the above cabling guidelines and b) try to config one port-channel bundling four links together across Nexus and Virtual Connect. Virtual Connect does NOT support LACP across two modules so two vpc port-channels should be created. Users can verify cabling between Virtual Connect and Nexus by using show lldp neighbor command. The following CLI captures verified the first VC FF-20/40 F8 module X5 port is connected with Nexus Eth1/2 and its X6 port connected with Nexus Eth1/2. The second VC FF-20/40 F8 module X5 port is connected with Nexus Eth 1/3 and its X6 port connected with Nexus Eth1/3. Page 6

When configuring Nexus port VLAN trunking with HP Virtual Connect modules, there are several things to note: Treat virtual connect ports as regular host trunk ports. Virtual Connect does NOT use STP to communicate with upstream switches. For control signaling, Virtual Connect only uses standard LLDP and LACP with upstream switches for neighbor discovery and port bundling. Typically users will configure trunk ports on Nexus switch when connecting with Virtual Connect in the context of hypervisor environment. Users should config STP edge port trunk for ports connecting with Virtual Connect. This is to prevent switches STP blocking Virtual Connect uplinks for up to 30 seconds upon its connectivity restoration in the event of module upgrade and link failure. Optionally, one VLAN could be selected as native VLAN for the trunk but OneView Uplink configuration should also mark this VLAN as native. Optionally, users can enable BPDU guard under the interfaces or enable them as global default setting to safeguard switching domain from any devices in the server edge. The following capture shows the vpc port-channel 101 configuration on both Nexus 5672 switches to connect with the first Virtual Connect Module.

14 Storage Fabric Configuration SAN Fabric consists of a couple of Brocade 6510 switches running Fabric OS. On HP VC FF-20/40 F8 modules, X7 and X8 for each module are configured as native FC ports with 8G FC transceivers plugged in. The first VC module is connected with switch for SAN Fabric-A access. The second VC module is connected with switch for SAN Fabric-B access. 3PAR 7400 port 0:2:3(Node1:Slot2:Port3) and 1:2:3(Node2:Slot2:Port3) are connected with for SAN Fabric-A access while port 0:2:4 and 1:2:4 are connected with for SAN Fabric-B access. The above 3PAR mirrored cabling between 7400 paired nodes can support 3PAR Persistent Ports feature, which can provide transparent traffic switch over to server workload upon the node failure/upgrade. SAN Fabric switches need to provision the following tasks: Turn on NPIV for ports connecting with Virtual Connect and 3PAR 7400 Optionally set up zone alias Zoning manually or automatically (through Brocade Network Advisor integration with OneView) Page 14
15 Step by Step configuration of Brocade manual zoning and Brocade Network Advisor(BNA) auto zoning is covered in OneView Gen8 vsphere5.5 Deployment Guide. In this setup, BNA auto zoning with OneView was used for quick FC fabric provisioning. DIA-BSAN-01:FID3:admin> zoneshow...

In OneView, two FC networks were created, one for Fabric A going up to Brocade and one for Fabric B going up to Brocade The two FC networks were mapped to Brocade Network Advisor (BNA) fabrics discovered. Page 15
16 Page 16
17 Two FC uplink sets were created in Logical Interconnect section carrying the two FC networks created with the physical ports assigned to them. Page 17
18 In order for end to end storage volume and FC fabric provisioning to work, 3PAR system was added into OneView with its physical host ports mapped to the configured OneView FC networks. Page 18

VC FF-20/80 F8 in I/O Bay 1: X5, X6: 10G Ethernet ports using VC-1-Uplink Ethernet Uplink Set to connect with Nexus X7, X8: 8G FC ports using VSAN-01 FC Uplink Set to connect with Brocade X9, X10: 2x20G internal horizontal stacking links between VC modules. VC FF-20/80 F8 in I/O Bay 1: X5, X6: 10G Ethernet ports using VC-2-Uplink Ethernet Uplink Set to connect with Nexus X7, X8: 8G FC ports using VSAN-02 FC Uplink Set to connect with Brocade X9, X10: 2x20G internal horizontal stacking links between VC modules. Page 20
21 OneView Server Profile and Volume Configuration Gen9 server profile connection details are listed below. The servers were equipped with Broadcom 20G CNA network adapter carrying FCOE traffic along with Ethernet trunk traffic. The Ethernet trunk to the hosts carried mgmt., vmotion, IP storage, NSX VTEP vlans. The network set Maximum Bandwidth parameter was increased to 20G from 10G for Broadcom 20G CNA adapter. Page 21
22 Two virtual volumes on 3PAR were created inside OneView console for server profile assignments. Page 22
23 In OneView server profile, SAN storage was provisioned for vsphere shared storage using previous created virtual volumes. After server profiles were applied, Brocade Network Advisor will provision 6510 switches for auto-zoning. 3PAR will also have vsphere hosts configured automatically from OneView connection. Page 23
24 In 3PAR StoreServ management console, hosts to volumes mapping can be viewed in Mapped view. Page 24
25 vsphere 6.0 Network and Storage Validation vsphere 6.0 hosts should see two 20G NIC presented along with two vmhba adapters. The two LUNs presented through OneView server profile are ready for VMFS provisioning. Network traffic were generated from centos virtual machines to prove that Broadcom 630 adapter on ProLiant Gen9 servers could carry up to 17Gbps of throughput per port simultaneously. Page 25
26 With virtual machines generating storage traffic about 5Gbps of throughput per SAN fabric, networking traffic can keep at around 12Gbps of throughput. It proves that FlexFabric Broadcom 630 adapter can transfer total of 17Gbps of aggregate LAN and SAN per port. Page 26
27 Conclusion This paper is a technical deployment document that should allow the end reader to successfully deploy and deliver a comprehensive infrastructure of network, compute, and storage with a mix of vendor technologies. It also validates the successful deployment of vsphere 6.0 with HP Proliant Gen9 servers. Page 27
