C Series integration with UCSM and Apex 2800 Offload Card

[NaelShahid_2]

Looking at the compatibility matrix this card may not be supported when integrated into UCSM?? It is supported in standalone mode.

Is this support on the road map? Also, if the card is support as standalone what would prevent it from working when integrated into UCSM?

i am looking in tothe same issue

this is what cisco has told me

no plans to support any offload card on the B series. ie zero chance, none period

there is insufficient customer pull to their BU to add and such mezannie cards

i the apex cards will fit into the C series, but cisco has no validated them

ie, use at your own risk and TAC will not support you (;

i have heard unofficially that cisco plans to go into a different direction

please ask you se and account rep for an update.

the more people ask, the more likley that they will look into hardwere support for serves graphics offload

I have had information from a reputable internal Cisco tech. Who tells me the following..

This is a fully supported environment in the sense that the server will recognize it, but it will be invisible to UCSM. As of now, there are no plans to manage Teradici hardware from UCSM, but as a locally (in-server) managed object, this is supported.

Also, I received pretty much the same answer from Teradici support via their Cisco rep.
