There are two different configuration options that may or may not complement one another – NPIV enabled VMs within ESXi, and End Host Mode for the FIs. What types of storage ports are they when not using NPIV for VMs?
Please correct the attached di...
Hello,
I have a few questions about UCS. Feel free to answer any and all of them, thanks!
1. What are the main benefits of using FCoE vs FC for UCS?2. Can someone point me toward performance data of FCoE vs FC within UCS?3. What is the d...
That is one design. For a large datacenter not everything will run directly from the FI to the core. The original diagram was logical, not physical - I added another ToR to the latest diagram regardless.
Other than FlexPod architectures, do you hav...
Thanks for continuing forward with the discussion Walter. I still don't fully understand the basics of the port types. Could you label the attached diagram?
On the attachment I included in the original post, I had a question mark next to the interface from the NPIV switch to the ToR (or FI). Is this a TNP port?
Thanks for the response.
How are the ports configured with Top of Rack switches in between the FI and the Core - NP Ports? Are the ToR switches still considered NPV edge switches, or are they just logically inseparable from the core?
