I find the documentation for this product to be very frustrating. I have, however, figured out most of my blockers.
Unfortunately, I will have to continue to use UCS Powertools for some of my deployment automation, as UCSD does not appear to collect (or have a report that shows) the SFPs that are inserted in a Fabric Interconnect port. Our existing UCS PowerTool solution made a decision about how to configure a port based on the type and speed of the SFP.
