So we are having a debate surrounding the network configuration/design with an upcoming UCS implementation across 2 or 3 Data Centers. I think the count is 6-10 chassis per site (active/active) plus other related devices.... I would like to know why ...
Can I connect 2 6248 FIs to an upstream Nexus 5548 (Layer 2 daughter card) for ethernet/LAN connectivity and create a vPC as displayed in the attached pic?
On the VM tab you have 2 options, 1. Configure vCenter2. Configure VMware Integration.Is this ONLY used when deploying VM-FEX? Or would this be done using a standard installation? Will this also push the netwroking information directly to vCenter?Tha...
I had a question regarding the statement that on a single MDS 9148 for example, only one Zone Set can be active. However, isn't it also true that if I have 2 VSANs 3 and 5 defined on this single MDS, I can have 2 active zone sets (1 per vsan) correct...
I am trying to figure out the proper configuration using QoS with the

vNICs
2 x Management (Fab-A/Fab-B)

Priority: Bronze
Burst(Bytes): 0
Rate(Kbps): 100000...
Thanks for the quick reply Robert. Now that you mention it, the traffic will be hitting a slew of firewalls/security appliances before they reach the UCS/VM, so I guess we will need some sort of Access Layer before we hit the core 7K. I am not able t...
So I don't need the Layer 3 daughter card? I thought I would need a L3 port channel from the Nexus 5k to 6248 FI's for vPC to work.The UCS FIs are a disjointed L2 fabric. I am also (would like to do) L3 load balancing out of vmware, however, the FI'...
So the storage array really doesn't know anything about VSANs correct? I can have a single SAN array for example with LUN's mapped to many hosts who might be in different VSANs. The VSANs are a management function of the MDS and UCS if one is using t...
