Hi There,
I am new to nexus world, mainly telecom side. I have a situation where a vendor like to deploy two Cisco UCS-C series servers for voice deployment.
Each UCS C240 M3 server has 4 NICs, 2 nics bonded 802.1q will connect to primary nexus 5k switch and other two bonded will connect to secondary nexus switch. we have a vPC domain and no FEXes so we have to connect these two servers directly to Nexus 5ks.
My question is it possible with teamed nics to coonect to 2 different nexus switches?
Can anyone guide me how can I achieve this design? see attached.
Thanks Much

It will also depend on the Server network settings such as OS, software switch flavor and NIC teaming option on the server.
x- if you run ESXi, then you may check out the following KB article.

x- if you use N1Kv, then you can use LACP or static port-channeling, but be sure to make it consistent on the upstream switches.
hope it helps.
