The Cisco Unified Computing System™ is a next-generation data center platform that unites computing, networking, storage access, and virtualization resources into a cohesive system designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility.

The system integrates a low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers. The system is an integrated, scalable, multichassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management domain.

In the upcoming session we will cover the UCS Mini architecture, troubleshooting and upgrade procedure.

How is the traffic switched between the blades in UCS mini?

[Avinash Shukla]

Hi Mariana,

Thanks for your question. At the moment traffic switching between blades in UCS Mini is same as in case of classic UCS.

- For traffic between blade vnics which are pinned to the same FI-IOM the switching happens at the corresponding FI-IOM.

- For traffic between vnics which are pinned to different FI-IOM it would be switched outside the FI-IOM at the upstream.
