We recently upgraded to 6332-16UP FIs, and would like to add some C220 rackmount servers to the domain using 2348UPQ FEX between the FIs and the rackmounts.  I have been researching the best way to do this, but I am unclear about the configuration on the FEX.  So if I configure the ports to the FEX from the FIs as server ports, and then have the Chassis discovery policy set to port-channel, do I need to configure anything on the FEX itself?  Or is it like a IOM, and all config is through the FIs?  I'd like to have two 40-Gbps uplinks connected to each FI.  I found the documentation on setting up C-series servers, but am a little cloudy at how this part of the configuration is supposed to work.  I'm using 4.0(4b) firmware.  Thanks! ...

Hopefully this is an easy question.  I tried to add a 10-gig link to a fabric portchannel between a 2208XP IOM and a 6248 FI, but found I had some layer 1 issues and had to back out.  I unplugged the connection and disabled the port, but am still getting a "Satellite-connection-absent" fault.  How can I remove the port from the portchannel, without causing traffic disruption?  Do I just delete the port from the portchannel using the LAN tab, or is there something I'm missing?  Note that the physical connection does not exist.  We are using 3.2.3d firmware.  Thanks for any ideas! ...

I hope this is an easy one.  I have a UCS 6200 domain running firmware 3.2(3d).  I want to verify which ports on the FIs my chassis are plugged into.  My Google-Fu is failing me, and it's driving me nuts.  Does anyone know those commands on the CLI?  It appears the UCSM GUI doesn't want to share that info.  Thanks for your help! ...

I'm using UCS Central 2.0, and have a new 6324 domain that we're setting up for a lab.  It resides in our data center, and I'd like to use some VLANs that we have already provisioned from the network side.  We have VLANs defined in root that are used by our production domain, and I would like to configure new VLANs with the same VLAN ID just to present to our new lab.  Is it an issue to have the same VLAN ID (but different name) defined in root and in a domain, or am I just being a worrywart?  I want to be more than sure that there will not be disruption in our production environment, but I have some doubts in my mind.  Thanks! ...
