80 Gbps Bandwidth

BE.

To make 80 Gbps of bandwidth available to RedHat servers, we need to consider several factors, including the hardware components required and the configuration of the virtual NICs (vNICs) mapped to each fabric. Based on the given options, two statements that are true are option A and option F.

Option A: Install 2208 IOMs, VIC1280 CNAs, fabric extenders, and create four vNICs mapped to each fabric.

This option includes the installation of 2208 IOMs (Input/Output Modules), VIC1280 CNAs (Converged Network Adapters), and fabric extenders, along with the creation of four vNICs mapped to each fabric. The VIC1280 CNA is a high-performance adapter that provides both Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity, making it suitable for RedHat servers. By installing 2208 IOMs, we can increase the number of ports available for connectivity. Fabric extenders are used to extend the fabric interconnect ports and provide additional connectivity to servers. By creating four vNICs mapped to each fabric, we can provide redundancy and increased bandwidth.

Option F: Install 2204 IOMs, VIC1280 CNAs, fabric extenders, and create four vNICs mapped to each fabric.

Option F is similar to option A, except that it involves the installation of 2204 IOMs instead of 2208 IOMs. The 2204 IOMs have fewer ports compared to the 2208 IOMs, but they are still capable of providing sufficient connectivity for RedHat servers. The VIC1280 CNAs and fabric extenders are also included in this option, along with the creation of four vNICs mapped to each fabric.

Option B: Install 2208 IOMs, VIC1280 CNAs, fabric extenders, and create eight vNICs mapped to each fabric.

Option B involves the installation of the same hardware components as option A, but with the creation of eight vNICs mapped to each fabric instead of four. While this option provides more virtual NICs for increased bandwidth, it may not be necessary and could result in oversubscription and reduced performance.

Option C: Install 2204 IOMs, VIC1280 CNAs, fabric extenders, and create four vNICs mapped to each fabric.

Option C is similar to option F, except that it does not include the installation of fabric extenders. Fabric extenders are essential for providing additional connectivity and are typically required for larger deployments.

Option D: Install 2204 IOMs, VIC1280 CNAs, and create four vNICs mapped to each fabric.

Option D involves the installation of 2204 IOMs and VIC1280 CNAs, but without fabric extenders. This option may not provide sufficient connectivity for RedHat servers, especially for larger deployments.

Option E: Install 2204 IOMs, VIC1240 CNAs, and create four vNICs mapped to each fabric.

Option E involves the installation of VIC1240 CNAs instead of VIC1280 CNAs. While VIC1240 CNAs are suitable for providing Ethernet connectivity, they do not support Fibre Channel connectivity, which may be required for RedHat servers.

In summary, options A and F are the most suitable for providing 80 Gbps of bandwidth to RedHat servers, as they involve the installation of 2208/2204 IOMs, VIC1280 CNAs, fabric extenders, and the creation of four vNICs mapped to each fabric. These options provide the necessary connectivity and redundancy for larger deployments, while also supporting both Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity.
