The HP BL8xc NC552m 10Gb 2-port Flex-10 Ethernet Adapter is a high-performance network adapter designed to provide high-speed connectivity for server blades in data centers. The adapter supports multiple protocols, including Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and iSCSI, and can be configured to support up to eight virtual NICs per port.
Performance:
The HP BL8xc NC552m Ethernet Adapter is designed for high-performance computing environments that require fast, reliable network connectivity. The adapter is capable of delivering 10 Gb/s of full-duplex bandwidth per port, which is ideal for demanding applications such as virtualization, high-performance computing, and cloud computing.
In addition, the adapter supports TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) and Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) offload, which can help to reduce CPU utilization and improve network throughput. The adapter also supports jumbo frames, which can increase network performance by reducing the number of packets that need to be transmitted.
Scalability:
The HP BL8xc NC552m Ethernet Adapter is highly scalable and can support up to eight virtual NICs per port. This feature allows network administrators to create multiple virtual NICs on a single physical port, which can help to reduce the number of network adapters needed and simplify network management.
In addition, the adapter supports network teaming, which can increase network bandwidth and provide fault tolerance. Network teaming allows multiple network adapters to be grouped together to form a single logical interface, which can provide increased bandwidth and redundancy in case of adapter failure.
The adapter also supports Flex-10 technology, which allows network administrators to allocate bandwidth dynamically between virtual NICs. Flex-10 technology allows network administrators to allocate up to 10 Gb/s of bandwidth to each virtual NIC, depending on the needs of the application.
Installation and Configuration ProcessThe installation and configuration process for the HP BL8xc NC552m 10Gb 2-port Flex-10 Ethernet Adapter involves several steps:
- Verify Hardware and Software Compatibility: Before installing the adapter, verify that the server blade and operating system are compatible with the adapter. Check the HP product documentation and compatibility matrix for details.
- Install the Adapter: Shut down the server blade and install the adapter into a PCIe slot. Connect the adapter to the network switch using an Ethernet cable.
- Configure the Adapter: Configure the adapter using the HP Onboard Administrator (OA) or the HP System Management Homepage (SMH). These tools allow you to configure the adapter settings, such as network speed, VLAN tagging, and teaming.
- Configure Virtual NICs: After configuring the adapter, you can create virtual NICs on the adapter using the HP Virtual Connect Manager (VCM). The VCM allows you to create virtual NICs and allocate bandwidth using Flex-10 technology.
- Configure Network Team: If you want to use network teaming, configure the network team on the adapter using the appropriate software, such as HP Network Configuration Utility or Microsoft Network Load Balancing Manager.
- Test and Verify: After configuring the adapter and virtual NICs, test the adapter and virtual NICs to verify that they are functioning correctly. Use appropriate tools such as ping and traceroute to test connectivity.
- Configure Security Settings: Finally, configure the security settings for the adapter, such as IPsec, SSL, and MAC address filtering, to protect the adapter and the network from unauthorized access and attacks.
The installation and configuration process for the HP BL8xc NC552m Ethernet Adapter can vary depending on the network environment and requirements. It is important to follow the installation and configuration instructions provided by HP to ensure proper installation and optimal performance.
Hardware and Software RequirementsThe HP BL8xc NC552m 10Gb 2-port Flex-10 Ethernet Adapter has specific hardware and software requirements for installation and operation. Here are some of the key requirements:
Hardware Requirements:
- PCIe 2.0 x8 slot on the server blade
- HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure
- Network switch with 10Gb Ethernet ports
- Ethernet cables
Software Requirements:
- Compatible operating system, such as Windows, Linux, or VMware
- Latest firmware for the adapter
- HP Onboard Administrator or HP System Management Homepage for adapter configuration
- HP Virtual Connect Manager for virtual NIC configuration
The specific hardware and software requirements for the adapter may vary depending on the operating system and network environment. It is important to consult the HP documentation and compatibility matrix for detailed information on hardware and software requirements.
In addition, it is important to ensure that the server blade and network switch are properly configured to support 10Gb Ethernet. This may involve configuring switch ports, enabling jumbo frames, and optimizing network settings for maximum performance.
