Unified Computing Server Resources

This is the third of five UCS sections on the blueprint.


UCS SAN Tab

In order to make sure that I've covered all the bases, I'm going to look at all the items in the SAN tab.

Implement SAN Connectivity in a Unified Computing Environment

One of the sections from the blueprint.  Quite a bit of info but I'll try to cram it into one post.

Notes on the UCS Equipment in the Lab

The Data Center V1.0 blueprint lists these UCS components in the lab:

UCS C200 Series Server
    vic card for c-series

UCS-6248 Fabric Interconnects

UCS-5108 Blade Chassis
    B200 M2 Blade Servers
    Palo mezzanine card
    Emulex mezzanine card

FCoE on UCS/Nexus

This post is based on a Gold Lab that I did.  The purpose is to capture the basics of Multihop FCoE.

ISCSI Basic Lab

This is a post of an MDS configuration for iSCSI.  I used a Win 7 workstation as a iSCSI initiator.  The target is an MDS 9200 with an IPS module.  There is a FC attached JBOD for storage. Later on I plan to try more of the options.  The goal of this lab was just to see iSCSI work on the MDS.
