The new HP Virtual Connect 4Gb Fibre Channel Module for BladeSystem c-Class offers enhanced server side NPIV support and is a form, fit and functional replacement for the current HP 4Gb Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module.

What's new

Introducing the HP Virtual Connect 4Gb Fibre Channel module for c-Class servers. Now with Server Side NPIV for Virtual Machines which provides provisioning between storage and virtual machines on server blades.
  • Allows up to 128 virtual machines running on the same physical server to access separate storage resources
  • Provisioned storage resource is associated directly to a specific virtual machine - even if the virtual server is re-allocated within the BladeSystem
  • Storage management is no longer constrained to a single physical HBA on a server blade
