C9336C-FX2 FEX provisioning N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE not possible

Hi all

regarding the compatibility matrix https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/Website/datacenter/fexmatrix/fexmatrix.html the old FEX N2K-C2248TP should work with C9336C-FX2.

Unfortunately this FEX model is not available for provisioning. Will this FEX be discovered once it is connected or is there a way to provision it before connecting it?

KSF-Nexus1(config-fex)# hardware ?
N2232P Fabric Extender 32x10G SFP+ 8x10G SFP+ Module
N2232TM-E Fabric Extender 32x10GBase-T 8x10GBase SFP+ with bcom phy
N2332TQ Fabric Extender 32x10GBase-T 4x40G QSFP Module
N2348TQ Fabric Extender 48x10GBase-T 6x40G QSFP Module
N2348TQ-E Fabric Extender 48x10GBase-T 6x40G QSFP Module
N2348UPQ Fabric Extender 6x40G QSFP 48x10G SFP+ Module

UCS2208XP UCS IOM 8 ports

C9336C-FX2 - what nexus code running, should 9.2 or higher i guess.

you can use provisioning :

provision model XXXX

The devices are running NXOS: version 10.1(2).
in which config context can I find this command? I guess it should be under FEX configuration but there is no such command.

KSF-Nexus1(config-fex)# ?
description FEX description
hardware FEX Card type
no Negate the command
retimer HIF port retimer training
serial Chassis serial number
show Show running config
show Show running system information
end Go to exec mode
exit Exit from command interpreter
pop Pop mode from stack or restore from name
push Push current mode to stack or save it under name
where Shows the cli context you are in

that should be config mode (not any fex config under)

config t

!

KSF-Nexus1(config)#provision ?

There is no command "provision"

KSF-Nexus1(config)# p?

python Run a python command/script, or enter python mode (if no arg)
pop Pop mode from stack or restore from name
push Push current mode to stack or save it under name

I Opened a SR. The answer was:

Unfortunately, the N9K switches, unlike N5K, do not support pre-provisioning. Even if 2248TP-E were present in the list, this wouldn’t have helped you.

hmm - that is unfortuante. then what was the solution to provision then ?

provision does not work, even with listed hardware. Next week we are going to connect our FEXes and hope, they will come online. I'll post an update once they are installed.

The FEXes are online now. I just configured the fex ports and connected them.
After the image upgrade they were ready to be configured.
