Defining Image Streamer uplink sets in logical interconnects

Uplink sets in Image Streamer

Uplink sets that support connections to Image Streamer in a multi-frame configuration must be assigned the type Image Streamer to correctly configure the associated ports. Image Streamer uplink sets consist of one network and four uplink ports. An uplink set in a single-frame Image Streamer configuration must be assigned the type Ethernet and use one uplink port.

When you edit an Image Streamer uplink set to support connections to Image Streamer in a multiframe configuration, you designate four uplink ports. The top two port selectors are filtered to include only ports from the first interconnect. The bottom two port selectors are filtered to include only ports from the second interconnect.

Both MGMT ports for link modules in the same HPE Synergy 12000 Frame with an Image Streamer appliance must be connected to uplink ports on different interconnects.

HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module for HPE Synergy

HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module for HPE Synergy has two dedicated ports for Image Streamer; namely, X1 and X2.

You can configure Image Streamer on logical enclosures using HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module for HPE Synergy for single or multiple Image Streamer appliances.

HPE OneView allows the following combinations:
  • Two Image Streamer appliances with two Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Modules.

  • One Image Streamer appliance with one Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module.

  • One Image Streamer appliance with two Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Modules.

NOTE:
  • When a logical interconnect in an HPE Synergy configuration includes an HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module for HPE Synergy, the port selectors are not available. Instead, a fixed list of four ports is displayed.

  • If HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module for HPE Synergy interconnect is used in single-frame, type can be set to Image Streamer.

Uplink ports configuration

In a configuration with two enclosures, cross-connect the four MGMT and four uplink ports for high availability, as outlined in the following table.
