Cisco UCS - IOM to 6248 (FC)

[stevecuddy]

Hi All,

Just a quick one - is anyone using FC to connect the 6248s to their IOMs ? I've reached the dreaded limit of the twinax cables.
I can see it's supported but just want to check the configuration changes needed as I'm in a full production environment.
Is it as simple as plugging in the SFPs and configuring a server port or do I need to change the UP to FC only which would require a re-boot of the 6248.

Cheers
Steve.

Steve,

We just need to configure the port type as " Server "  and use the optical / FET SFPs to connect to Fibre channel link.
