UCS chassis switch connection

[adamgibs7]

Dears,

I m very new to the UCS chassis and I want to know things in basic explanation.

I have a 2 no's of FI  up and running connected to the core switch 6509 in VSS, I have a cisco ISE server as an VM in the chassis which need to connect to the OOB MGMT switch , so what I am trying to do is to connect new port on FI-1 to OOB MGMT switch. I am configuring as a uplink port on the FI which is connecting to the OOB switch, as soon as I enabled the port on FI the VM on the chassis are not accessible, For me it seems to me some sort of Layer 2 loop between the FI and OOB switch , but when I check the FI configuration it is end host mode rather than in switch mode,

I am not sure this is correct way of connecting 2 different switches on FI  ???? and also or there should be some another sort of configuration  in the service profile or etc etc,

Please review this https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/data-center-virtualization/unified-computing/white_paper_c11-692008.html

You will need to create separate uplinks for the OOB switch and use the "LAN Uplinks manager" to pin the OOB VLANs to that uplink and remove them from your 6500 uplinks. You will also need a vNIC created on the server that will only use that VLAN so it pins successfully to the upstream OOB switch uplink.
