Hello,For the sake of good design, I'd like to understand the performance difference between an Intel E72800/4800 GHz vs. an Intel Xeon 5600 GHz.That is, if I have a 6 core Xeon 5600 CPU at 2 GHz, how much different is (performancewise) compared to a...

Hi Alli have UCS manger 4.3q, 2xFI 6140 and connected to Cisco MDS 9509 v4.2( 4 FC link from FIA to MDS A, and 4 FC uplink from FIB to MDS B) and connected to SUN SAN storagetek 6140(one FC port to MDS A from SP1 and one FC port to MDS B from SP2), i...

I was away on cisco UCS a couple of months from now and this thing still bugs my mind. I was only able to implement a software implementation of ucs using nexus 1000v, assign port profile, port-group, qos, acl on the nk1vI read before that VN-Link is...

Documentation says that max supportable RAM on this blade is 192GB or 12*16GB DIMMs.Could anyone tell what is part number for 16GB DIMM which will work on B200 and will not log an error about not able to find FRU info?Thanks

First off, thank you all for the great community here. It's a wealth of information, always great to see Hopefully someone can help me with my problem; I have been able to find quite a bit of info here to get me, I believe, 95% of the way. I think I...
