Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary purpose of the HPE D4U30A support contract? +
The D4U30A service agreement provides essential support coverage for HPE Brocade VDX6740 and VDX6740T switches. It ensures that should a hardware component fail, you receive replacement parts via Next Business Day delivery. This coverage is critical for maintaining high availability in data center environments where minimizing downtime for your fabric switches is a priority.
Does this support package apply to both the VDX6740 and the 6740T models? +
Yes, this specific support SKU is fully compatible with both the standard HPE Brocade VDX6740 and the VDX6740T models. Whether your deployment utilizes the SFP+ based VDX6740 or the 10GBASE-T based VDX6740T variant, this service ensures consistent parts replacement support for your 24-port switch configuration.
How does the Next Business Day Parts Only support function for my network hardware? +
Under the Parts Only model, once a hardware fault is diagnosed and a replacement is authorized, HPE ships the necessary component to your site for arrival by the next business day. This plan is designed for organizations that have internal technical staff capable of installing hardware components once the physical replacement part arrives on-site.
Can I apply the D4U30A support to a 24-port VDX6740 switch purchased elsewhere? +
This support contract is intended for the HPE Brocade VDX6740 series switches within the supported ecosystem. It is essential to ensure your switch is currently eligible for coverage and that the serial number is correctly registered in the HPE support portal. We recommend verifying your hardware’s current status to ensure seamless integration of this support service.
Why is it important to have dedicated support for VDX6740 fabric switches? +
The VDX6740 series is built for demanding data center fabrics, often serving as the backbone for virtualized environments and storage traffic. Relying on specialized support ensures that critical infrastructure components are replaced rapidly. Without a valid service contract, the financial and operational burden of sourcing genuine replacement parts for these specific fabric switches can be significant.
Does the D4U30A support contract include software updates for my Brocade switch? +
The D4U30A is specifically categorized as a Parts Only support offering. This service focuses on the physical hardware lifecycle, ensuring you have the parts required to maintain the chassis and internal components. For access to firmware updates, security patches, or NOS (Network OS) upgrades, you would typically need to maintain a separate software support agreement.
Is the VDX6740 support coverage valid for clustered or VCS fabric deployments? +
The support coverage applies to the physical hardware unit itself, regardless of whether it is operating as a standalone unit or as part of a larger VCS (Virtual Cluster Switching) fabric. Maintaining consistent support coverage across all nodes in your fabric is a best practice to ensure that any individual hardware failure does not compromise your overall cluster performance.
What information do I need to provide when initiating a hardware claim under D4U30A? +
When a hardware issue arises, you will need the product serial number, the specific service contract ID (SAID) associated with your D4U30A purchase, and a description of the observed failure. Providing these details promptly allows for efficient processing and ensures the correct parts are dispatched to your location without unnecessary delays in your deployment schedule.
