Directly connect UCS C-series to External storage

Georgia Coalman

Hi,

I have a customer that is looking for an entry level data centre solution.

I have speced up 2 UCS C240 servers (with 10GB or 8GB FC) and I was wondering whether we can attach directly to external storage from the servers for now and buy a switch in the future.

As replication of their database is an issue, they would like to use external storage. The customer is looking at an IBM V7000. in the following URL -

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/interoperability/matrix/Matrix8.html the V7000 is compatible with the B-series but it's not listed under the C-series. Has anyone used the V7000 with the C-Series? Is there a better option for an entry level external storage array?

Any pointers or help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Georgia

Hello Georgia,

What is the HBA installed on the server ?

The matrix lists supported arrays only for Cisco CNA.
