VMM Domain with Dynamic vlan pool and Physical Domain with static vlan pool on same AAEP?

We have been presented with an issue in our production system and unfortunately do not have test environment to try this setup to ensure no issues are encountered.  We have port channel uplinks to our HP C7000 blade chassis with VMM Domain using dynamic pool for our VDS.  This is working perfectly and houses a large portion of our production systems.  A bare metal blade was purchased and installed that does not use VDS.  I'll avoid most of the drama as to why this occurred and why its mission critical that we get this working but basically our sister datacenter has same setup but not on a Cisco ACI fabric -- the uplinks to that chassis is standard Trunk of vlans off the Nexus and their blade works.

The assumption is that adding a Physical Domain to the existing AAEP with a static pool (single vlan only) will allow the bare metal blade to access the network.

Anyone have experience in the above scenario?  If so, anything I am missing that might be a simpler solution beyond running new uplinks to the chassis (unfortunately not possible at the moment due to lack of ports on the HP).  Appreciate any advice.  Thank you.

Hi @bl80 ,

Your assumption that 

 

adding a Physical Domain to the existing AAEP with a static pool (single vlan only) will allow the bare metal blade to access the network.

is perfectly fine and a perflectly legitimate way of adding (generally legacy) BMHs to a VDS based EPG.  I use this kind of example when teaching (and in our labs) to illustrate the versatility of ACI.
