We have different model servers in the market like ML & DL servers, but for these servers we have to maitain individual power supply, individual fans etcso after that HP reduced the server size and come up with a plan of maintaining blades in enclosure to make server size small. The main difference between DL & Blade servers is DL servers we need to maintain individually but blade servers we can maintain all facilities in enclosure itself like power supply and fans everything to reduce cost and to easy maitainence of infrastructure environment. The HP Blade System Matrix simplifies the use of IT applications and business services within an organization by offering IT capacities as a pool of resources which can be tapped into at any time in line with requirements. Servers, storage, networks, management tools, power supplies and cooling systems are offered to the user basically as an individual, integrated product, from which only the services actually required in a given situation are allocated and used. In a virtual IT infrastructure of this type, resources can be quickly reconfigured and made available according to the precise needs of the individual business units. The HP Blade System Matrix solution consists of the following individual components: . Blade System c7000 Enclosure Blade System servers (ProLiant or Integrity-based) Insight Dynamics and Insight Control management software Virtual Connect Flex-10 Ethernet and Fibre Channel Module Optional Storage Works Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) Support for Windows, Linux, HP-UX, VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and HP Integrity Virtual Machines. It all starts with the hardware. HP's Matrix product is built from existing HP hardware offerings, including the EVA4400 and Blade System c7000 blade chassis. In the mix are the usual Fibre Channel SAN fabric switches and Ethernet switches. However, the two network switches really don't play into the overall picture. This is possible due to the 10G Ethernet modules and the 8Gb Fibre Channel links present in the chassis. Essentially, each chassis has all the bandwidth it needs with these links, releasing administrators and the Insight Orchestration software from the onus of having to interact at the layer-2 level to provide VLAN assignments and such.
C3000 :
The C3000 enclosure can accomidate: 8 Half-height servers (or) 4 Full-height servers.
The C3000 enclosure is delivered with 4 FANs installed in BAYs 2,4,5 and 6. This is enough cooling power for a maximum of 4 half-height servers, or 2 full-height servers. If you install more servers than you need to ADD 2 more FANs in BAY 1 and 3.
Depending on the number of devices installed in the enclosure you may have a different number of power supplies installed. Note that the power supply is oriented differently in slots 1,2,3 and slot 4,5,6.You can have different level of redundancy for the power supplies.
Depending on the number of Servers installed you may have to order new FANs for your enclosure.
Remote Access
You have several ways to remotely access the Blades or enclosures . WEB access to ILO: Telnet to the MP Telnet to the servers installed in the enclosure WEB access to the Onboard Administrator (enclosure) Telnet to the Onboard Administrator (enclosure) Serial connection to the Onboard Administrator
Note : the IP address of the Onboard Administrator is configured using the insight display in the front of the enclosure. The initial username and password are usually attached to the enclosure when received.
