vPC-HM Manual Subgroup Pinning with UCS B Series Question

[laerciotobias]

Hi all,

Ucs Firmware 2.1 or 2.2.

Does UCS B series (FI A and B) supports VPC-HM with manual subgroup or CDP subgroup with 2 or  more interfaces in the same subgroup ?

Example

Vmnic 0 and Vmnic 1 in subgroup 0 connected at FI A.

Vminc 2 and Vmnic 3 in subgroup 1 connected at FI B.

If dosen't support it, the UCS B series supports at least one Vmnic per subgroup ?

Thanks.

Hello,

You cannot have more than one vmnic in the same sub-group when connecting to the FI. If you have more than one vmnic in the same sub-group, you would need to configure a port-channel on the switch side. This is not possible in case of FI.

So for your configuration, mac-pinning is the only option.

Also, the recommendation is to move away from sub-group manual/cdp and use mac-pinning.
