Hi,
I am designing a Compute and Shared Storage solution using
- EMC VNX 5300 shared storage
- Block
- File share - two Data movers with 10GE I/O ports
- Block
- Cisco UCS Blade Server Platform
- Cisco UCS 6248 Fabric Interconnect
- Cisco UCS 5108 Blade chassis
- Cisco UCS 6248 Fabric Interconnect
I have a query regarding where to connect the Data movers with 10GE I/O ports. Do I connect them to the Cisco UCS 6248 Fabric Interconnects or do I connect them to the IP Network switch?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Like nzjxpoojim99 said, either way is fine. You'll have more flexibility with connecting your storage to a switch above the fabric interconnects, so you can branch out to other equipment. If you're never going to hook up other equipment, you can simply hook it up to an appliance port on your fabric interconnects.
