Introduction Features The 10GbE Pass-Thru Module is designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where network traffic and users increase continually.
Port mapping For detailed port mapping information, see the HP BladeSystem Enclosure Quick Setup Guide or the HP BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation). Dual pass-thru modules In a dual pass-thru module configuration, two pass-thru modules in the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure provide redundant paths to the network ports on the server blades.
Component identification 10GbE Pass-Thru Module front panel CAUTION: If you press the Reset button while the Health LED is green, the pass-thru module resets. Item Description 1 UID LED • • 2 3 Blue light on—The pass-thru module is activated. Blue light off—The pass-thru module is deactivated. Health LED • • Off—The pass-thru module is powered off. • Amber—An issue exists, such as a port mismatch. For more information, see the HP BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide.
Item Description 4 Reset button 5 Mini-USB RS232 management serial port 6 Ports 1-16 SFP+ ports to support SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules and Direct Attach Cables (DAC).
Installing the pass-thru module Manually configuring the pass-thru module Configure the pass-thru module manually using a CLI. See "Accessing the pass-thru module ("Accessing the pass-thru module CLI" on page 10)" for more information. Module security The 10GbE Pass-Thru Module does not provide network security. You must provide security for the module from somewhere else on the network. Installing the module CAUTION: Do not attach the pass-thru module cables until after configuration.
4. Close the handle (2). Complete installation is indicated by a green Health LED. If the Health LED is amber or power is not applied to the module, see the HP BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide for troubleshooting information. Accessing the pass-thru module CLI You can access the pass-thru module CLI remotely using the Onboard Administrator enclosure or locally using the mini-USB to DB-9 RS232 Management serial port. Accessing the pass-thru module CLI remotely 1.
Accessing the pass-thru module CLI locally 1. Using a null-modem mini-USB to DB-9 RS232 serial cable (not included), connect the pass-thru module management port to a local client device (such as a laptop computer). 2.
• The system/info command displays image version, board revision, or chip revisions. • The effect from any CLI command is immediate. For example, configuring auto-negotiation on a port takes effect when the command is completed. • Flow control is not configurable because the pass-thru module cannot handle or generate pause packets. When using the 10GbE Pass-Thru Module, you must ensure that your pause configuration is correct for both link partners.
Replacing a pass-thru module Replacing an existing module CAUTION: Removing the pass-thru module from a powered enclosure results in the loss of network communications between the server blade network ports and the network infrastructure. For continued blade-server network communication and services availability before removing the module, redirect critical high-availability services or applications to use the redundant network ports. CAUTION: Do not connect the pass-thru module until after configuration.
Updating the 10GbE pass-thru firmware Methods for updating the 10GbE Pass-Thru Module firmware CAUTION: The pass-thru module automatically reboots after the firmware update, which disrupts all server traffic on all ports on this pass-thru module. The server blades can be powered on while this pass-thru module firmware is updated, but they lose connectivity while the firmware reboots on each pass-thru module. CAUTION: Do not power off the pass-thru module during the download process.
NOTE: If you are using a USB key to transfer the firmware file, see "Updating the firmware image using a USB key and the Onboard Administrator CLI (on page 17)" for steps that must be completed before beginning this procedure. 1. Access the Onboard Administrator CLI remotely using Telnet or SSH, or locally using a serial connection to the active Onboard Administrator DB9 serial connector, or VGA and keyboard connected to the enclosure KVM ports.
12. Press the Enter key. The module console begins to print C characters until the Xmodem transfer begins. 13. Press Ctrl + Shift + _. The following message appears: Command: D)isconnect, C)hange settings, send B)reak, E)xit command mode X)modem send > 14. Enter x. The following message appears: Xmodem Send: Send a file to the interconnect module using the xmodem transfer protocol. The file can be downloaded to the OA from an HTTP(S), FTP, or TFTP server.
Port 13 is ENABLED Port 14 is ENABLED Port 15 is ENABLED Port 16 is ENABLED Port 1 Installed CU SFP Port 1 Approved CU SFP NOTE: If the module console displays C characters instead of . characters, return to step 14 to restart the Xmodem transfer. 17. Press Ctrl + Shift + _. The following message appears: Command: D)isconnect, C)hange settings, send B)reak, E)xit command mode X)modem send > 18. 19. Enter d.
Secondary DNS: 16.110.135.52 MAC Address: F4:CE:46:86:FA:5D Link Settings: Auto-Negotiation, 100 Mbit, Full Duplex Link Status: Active Enclosure IP Mode: Disabled 8. To begin the firmware upgrade, begin at step 3 of "Updating the firmware image using the Onboard Administrator CLI (on page 14)" and continue following the instructions.
NOTE: The pass-thru module boot code firmware image is usually named 10GPTHRUw.x.y.z_FW.bin, where w.x.y.z is the firmware version number. 1. Using the null modem mini-USB to DB-9 cable, connect the console port of the pass-thru module to the serial port of a computer that supports XModem/1K XModem. 2.
For more information Additional references Configure the 10GbE Pass-Thru Module after installation. Detailed information about how to configure the pass-thru module is available in 10GbE Pass-Thru Module Installation Instructions for HP BladeSystem cClass Enclosures.
Troubleshooting Health LED on the pass-thru module is not on Cause Action The pass-thru module is not seated properly. Be sure that the pass-thru module is inserted completely and seated properly. The enclosure is not powered up. Be sure that the enclosure is powered up and all the power connections are intact. An LED is faulty. Be sure that the pass-thru module is booted. The pass-thru module is faulty. Send the module for repair.
Cannot access the pass-thru module serial console interface using an RS232 connection from a PC Terminal Emulation Program Cause Action The mini-USB to DB-9 RS232 cable is faulty. Try another mini-USB to DB-9 RS232 cable. The connection settings do not match the pass-thru module serial settings. Be sure that the PC Terminal Emulation session settings match the pass-thru module serial settings.
Cause Action More than one person is connected to the module console from Onboard Administrator. Use the Onboard Administrator CLI show interconnect sessions command to check for active sessions. If an interconnect session is active, use the clear interconnect session command to terminate active sessions on the module. The download fails after starting to download the firmware file Cause Action The firmware file is not the correct file or is corrupt.
