Scenario 2:2 - Flex-10 - VLAN Tagging (802.1Q) with Multiple Shared Uplink Sets (SUS) and Mapped VLANs - Windows 2008
Hyper-V 129
Figure 2-32
Active / Active SUS.
Summary Note:
In this scenario we have created two independent Share Uplink Sets (SUS), each
originating from the opposite VC-Modules, by doing so we provide the ability to create separate and
redundant connections out of VC. When we create the server profiles, you will see how the NICs will
connect to VLANs accessed through the opposite VC module, which provides the ability to create an
Active / Active uplink scenario. Alternatively, we could have created a single SUS and assigned both of
these uplink ports to the same SUS, however, this would have provided an Active/ Standby uplink
scenario, example below.

Example of an Active / Standby SUS.
Defining a Server Profile
We will create a server profile with two server NICs.
Each server NIC will connect to a specific network.
•
On the main menu, select Define, then Server Profile
•
Create a server profile called “Server-1”
•
In the Network Port 1 drop down box, select PROD-A-1, configure the speed as custom at 2.5Gb
•
In the Network Port 2 drop down box, select PROD-A-2, configure the speed as custom at 2.5Gb
•
In the Network Port 3 drop down box, select Multiple Networks, configure the speed as Auto
○
Configure Multiple Networks for PROD-C-1, PROD-D-1 and PROD-E-1
•
In the Network Port 4 drop down box, select Multiple Networks, configure the speed as Auto
○
Configure Multiple Networks for PROD-C-2, PROD-D-2 and PROD-E-2
•
In the Assign Profile to Server Bay box, locate the Select Location drop down and select Bay 1, then
apply
Note:
you should now have a server profile assigned to Bay 1, with 4 Server NICs connected to the
various networks. NICs 3&4 should have a link speed of 7.5Gb
