FI License Behaviour

[ebranbilo]

what is the FI behavior if I have four chassis and enough licenses to only cover two chassis and I spread blades accross all chassis? Does the FI balances the Licenses across all chassis? OR leaves some ports as unlicensed?

My setup has all cables from the FEX to the FIs (2104XP).

Hello,

The licensing model in UCS are based on port usage on Fabric Interconnect. It varies depending upon FI model.

The following doc provides good information on it.
