Hi,
We're playing around with AVS on blades within an UCS chassis. The UCS chassis is connected from it's IOM to the FIs and both FIs have VPC configured to two of the leaves of the ACI fabric. vCenter is running on a physical hyperV domain with an VPC to it's two ports. The management vmks of the ESX and the vcenter running on the hyperV host can all talk to each other (same EPG within mgmt tenant and that has a contract with the inband builtin EPG)
The ACI fabric is configured for inband mgmnt access and so far we can easily reach all the same subnet and gateway for the inband interface and the APIC itself from all those EPs within the same subnet on the inb VRF of the management tenant .
We're hitting a road block with the VMM integration via VXLAN and AVS with local switching.
The AEP for the UCS was configured as bare metal with the infrastructure VLAN extended to the FIs (in addition to the storage ports and management ports both tagged and encapsed as vlan-363 and vlan-350). We've deployed the AVS software and the AVS is visible within the vcenter.
Now we're not sure if we need to remove the AEP for UCS as for bare metal and just use a VXLAN host AEP or if we can even define a second AEP on the same ports with VXLAN ESX.
We've configured the DHCP and the DHCP relay labels on the subnet to the APIC's DHCP server for the infrastructure VLAN in order for the vleaf to talk to the ACI's leafs, but we can't see if those interfaces are actually getting an IP or not or where they (vteps on AVS?)
So a couple of questions:
Thanks

Hello.
I found your discussion very interesting, and now I have a question related to OpenFlex.
What happens with Status 5? I have a situation where the AVS is installed and the vmk1 gets an IP address, but when I run the command "vemcmd show openflex" the result is 5.
I already tried to find tshoot recommendations for is very basic.
I hope you can provide more clarification on this status.
Greetings
