HP OneView is converged management that eliminates infrastructure complexity with automation simplicity. This advanced management architecture is designed to accelerate your IT operations for managing servers, storage, and network resources.

Features Summary

• Profiles
  Profiles enable servers that are licensed using HP OneView Advanced to configure the Virtual Connect capabilities and support dynamic network changes. Virtual Connect administrators can change pre-existing connection networks and connection bandwidth without powering down blade servers.
• Logical interconnect groups
  Logical Interconnect groups are created for configuring the Virtual Connect module with its uplinks and associated networks, enabling efficient application to multiple Virtual Connect environments.
• Network sets
  Network sets are used to easily update multiple networks in various profiles from a single location, rather than updating each network separately. Network sets are useful in virtual environments where each profile connection needs to access multiple networks.
• Fiber Channel support
  Fiber Channel support in HP Virtual Connect includes the HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb 24-port Fiber Channel module and HP Virtual Connect 8 Gb 20-port Fiber Channel module, and FlexFabric supports the developed HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 20 / 40 F8 module.
• Active-active configuration support
  Active-active configuration support for Virtual Connect allows full use of all uplink ports in an uplink set, reduces the over-subscription rates for server-to-network-core traffic for more predictable traffic patterns, and provides faster link failure detection and failover times. Optimized for North / South traffic patterns, the Active / Active configuration support can be combined with the SmartLink to allow NIC teaming drivers to transmit on both adapter ports and maintain redundancy.
• Advanced capabilities
  Advanced capabilities support untagged traffic, VLAN tunneling, and configurable Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) timers, min / max bandwidth settings on connections, visibility to MAC address tables, ‘per FlexNIC’ traffic statistics and performance monitoring, and enhanced detection-protection reporting of pause flood and network loops.
• General network management
  HP OneView Advanced also provides network capabilities for HP BladeSystems which do not use HP Virtual Connect for networking.
