Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the HPE E7X96A 3PAR StoreServ 7000 10Gb Ethernet Adapter? +
The HPE E7X96A is a high-performance 2-port 10Gb Ethernet adapter designed specifically for 3PAR StoreServ 7000 storage arrays. It enables high-speed connectivity for iSCSI and other networked storage protocols, allowing your array to integrate seamlessly into 10GbE network infrastructures while offloading processing tasks from the host to ensure consistent throughput.
Does the HPE E7X96A support iSCSI offload capabilities? +
Yes, this adapter is engineered to provide efficient iSCSI offload functionality. By handling the storage protocol processing on the card itself rather than the host server’s CPU, the E7X96A helps reduce latency and overhead, resulting in improved performance for virtualized environments and high-demand database applications running on your 3PAR storage cluster.
Is the HPE E7X96A compatible with all HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7000 series models? +
This adapter is purpose-built for the 3PAR StoreServ 7000 series storage systems. It provides the necessary physical interface and protocol support to expand your array's connectivity options. When planning your installation, verify your specific array model's firmware version to ensure full driver compatibility and seamless recognition by the StoreServ operating system.
What type of cabling and transceiver modules should be used with this 10Gb adapter? +
The E7X96A utilizes standard 10GbE connectivity, typically requiring SFP+ modules or Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables depending on your data center distance requirements. Ensure the modules you select are HPE-certified for use with the 3PAR ecosystem to maintain optimal signal integrity and compatibility across your fiber or copper network infrastructure.
How does installing the E7X96A impact the physical configuration of my 3PAR 7000 array? +
Installing this 2-port adapter increases your available network ports for front-end connectivity. The card is designed for hot-swappable or standard internal installation depending on your specific array configuration. Once installed, the 3PAR management interface will detect the new ports, allowing you to assign them to existing virtual volumes or new host connections for improved multi-pathing.
Can the E7X96A be used for both management and data traffic? +
While the primary intent for the E7X96A is high-bandwidth data traffic, it is typically configured for front-end host connectivity, such as iSCSI block storage access. Separating your data traffic from your management network is best practice in enterprise environments to ensure that storage performance remains isolated and consistent, even during periods of heavy administrative activity.
How should I configure the E7X96A for redundant paths in a 3PAR environment? +
To achieve high availability, you should install the adapter in a redundant configuration across separate I/O modules in your 3PAR array. By mapping your host connections across multiple ports on different E7X96A cards, you ensure that even in the event of a port or cable failure, your server retains continuous, uninterrupted access to the storage volumes.
What is the expected power consumption of the HPE E7X96A in a 3PAR system? +
The E7X96A is designed for power efficiency relative to its 10Gb performance output. It pulls power directly from the 3PAR controller node's PCIe slot. Because it is a purpose-built component for the StoreServ chassis, it remains within the strict thermal and power envelopes defined by the original manufacturer, ensuring stability for your existing infrastructure.
How can I obtain a bulk quote for multiple HPE E7X96A adapters for my data center upgrade? +
