Adding CISCO UCS 6248UP to 6509 Core Switches - any risk??

[James Cook]

In the next couple weekends I'm planning to add 2 CISCO UCS 6248UP Interconnects to 6509 Core Switches via 10G links.

Is there any impact anticipated?  It's a production environment and no loss of up-time is acceptable.

There a couple of different way in configuring the 6200 interconnects.  They could be deployed in end host mode or switch mode.

Have a look at this doc for more info and best practice scenarios.
