UCS Compatibility

[chuckroberts123]

Hi Everyone. Quick question and hopefully this will be simple. Where can I go to see what FNIC/ENIC drivers I need for my specific UCS Hardware?

Thanks,

Hi Chuck,

The Cisco Interoperability Matrix tool tells you exactly this information. I pasted the link below;

http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/ucs/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

You have to fill in the corresponding boxes and it will at the end tell you the firmware level needed. Also just incase you didn't have the commands to obtain your ENIC / FNIC current driver status from the host the steps are below;

How to obtain ENIC and FNIC driver versions ( ~# vmkload_mod -s [enic|fnic])

- SSH into the ESXi CLI (via putty or the KVM console (type alt-F1 in the KVM console)*

- enter the command vmkload_mod –s enic | grep Version for the enic driver version

- enter the command vmkload_mod –s fnic | grep Version for the fnic driver version

*Note:

- Make sure SSH is enabled: Login to ESXi > Troubleshooting Options > Enable SSH

- To escape the ESXi CLI within the KVM console type alt-F2, then regular F2 to enable the console

HTH,
