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


I'm mostly concerned with making sure that I understand all the configuration options for the VIC and Mezzanine cards.

UCS C Series VIC cards
Assumption is that this will be a P81E VIC. It is a CNA that can support 128 virtual interfaces.. This VIC supports VM-FEX (although this isn't listed on the blueprint).  Here is a diagram from the data sheet:


Palo mezzanine card
This is the  M81KR VIC card that is optimized for FCoE. It supports up to 128 virtual interfaces and VN-Link technology.



Emulex mezzanine card
Assuming this will be the CNA M72KR-E card. This is NOT a virtualized card so no VIC support.
