VM-FEX questions

[anazarenko]

I am new in UCS , so there are some questions

1) Do I understand correctly that this feature is supported only on UCS bladecenters at the moment?

2) What is the use for VM-FEX on Nexus 5k without FI modules?  Does anybody plug UCS straight into Nexus 5k without use of FI modules?

Where do they run UCS manager then?

Thanks.

1-UCS C-series support VM-Fex.

2-The 5k series don't support F1 card.  F1, M1, M2, etc.. are supported on the 7ks.

UCS manager runs on the 6100 and 6200 series fabric interconnect devices.
