UCSM C-series integration

[IPM Support]

Hello,
In a C-240M3 integrated in a UCS Manager domain with the VIC 1225,is it possible to use an empty PCIe slot to install an N2XX-AEPCI05 LPE Emulex HBA and direct attach a supported VNX there? I know it sounds weird, but just for the purpose of understanding how the c-servers integration works.
Thanks,

Dani,

Yes this is a supported topology.  The one thing to keep in mind is that the Emulex HBA is not part of the UCS fabric and can not be managed by the UCSM service profile.  In order to configure the card you would need to use the option ROM and or OS software utilities.
