I'm setting up a UCS environment with a pair of MDS 9148's for the first time. The fabric interconnects are 6120XP's with the 6 port 8Gb fc expansion modules. Here is what I've done: I enabled npiv on both 9148's, I've assigned the FC ports on the ...
I setup a WWPN pool with the assignment order of default. I would like to change it to sequential, but was wondering what sort of impact that would have to the environment that is already using that mac pool. There are several machines already usin...
I'm in the process of setting up UCS. The default native vlan has a vlan ID of 1 in UCS. Our native vlan is 1000. So I setup a new vlan with the vlan ID of 1000 and set it as the natvie VLAN. I cannot delete the VLAN default (1) even though it is...
We have a seperate physical network for our DMZ and a seperate physical network for some other isolated hosts. Most of these machines in the two environments are virtual machines residing on 2U rack server machines running ESXi. We are getting some...
I got some thermal alerts from a 2104XP IOM last week. I investigated and saw no thermal issues in our datacenter, nothing was blocking airflow, and not other components were experiencing any type of thermal issue. So I opened a case with Cisco TAC...

Is there any additional documentation on how to swap out a 6120 with a 6296 other than the Upgrading Cisco UCS B-Series Hardware pdf. The document doesn't appear to be overly detailed.
I'm looking at the materials that were purchased for this project and I don't see and E16UP expansion modules on it. The thought I believe was to use the 48 ports that come with it first and then expand into the expansion modules if we grew to that ...
