Configuring the Virtualization Switch and I/O Modules

The virtualization switch supports I/O modules, which provide Ethernet connectivity to servers and storage systems that are connected to the fabric. The virtualization switch and modules you requested were assembled to order and arrive at your site fully configured.

The virtualization switch supports the following modules:

• Oracle F2 Dual Port 16 Gb Fibre Channel module

• Oracle F2 Quad Port 10GBase-T module

• Oracle F2 Long Range InfiniBand module

• Oracle F2 10 Gb and 40 Gb Ethernet module

  ---

  Tip  -  If you have installed the Oracle F2 40 Gb Ethernet module, the 10 Gb module is also supported. You can also split each 40 Gb port into four 10 Gb ports. For more information on this module, refer to the Oracle F2 10 Gb and 40 Gb Ethernet Module User’s Guide.

You might want to add a SAN or storage network to a virtualization switch. You can also add an additional module to the switch, remove a module, move a module, change a module's configuration, upgrade a module, or restart a module. The procedures are the same for all types of modules.

These topics explain how to configure the virtualization switch and the modules.
