UCS STORAGE FEATURES OVERVIEW



•  Cisco – Virtual Interface Card (VIC)

•  Emulex/Qlogic – Non-VIC

•  WWN assignment: just like Ethernet MAC addresses –  Either inherited from burnt-in WWN (not with Cisco VIC) –  Or manually set –  Or borrowed from a pool (recommended)

•  Backplane path failover does not exist for HBAs! –  A vHBA either goes through switch A or B at any given time –  OS-level multipathing provides path resiliency

•  Same dynamic pinning concept as with 10GE NICs –  Manual override allowed by using SAN pin-groups

VHBAS: VIC/NON-VIC


•  FC End-Host Mode (NPV Mode) –  Connects FI to Northbound NPIV Enabled FC Switch

•  Cisco •  Brocade

–  FCIDs Distributed From Northbound Switch –  DomainIDs, FC Switching, FC Zoning Responsibility of Northbound Switch

•  FC Switching Mode –  Connects to Northbound FC Switch as Normal FC Fabric Switch

•  Cisco Only

–  DomainIDs, FC Switching, FCNS Handled Locally Like Normal FC Switch –  UCS Direct Connect Storage Enabled –  UCS Local Zoning Feature Possible

FABRIC INTERCONNECT STORAGE MODES


•  FC End-Host Mode (NPV) –  FC Uplink Port –  FCoE Uplink Port –  Appliance Port (iSCSI/NFS/CIFS)

•  FC Switch Mode –  FC Uplink Port –  FCoE Uplink Port –  Appliance Port (iSCSI/NFS/CIFS) –  FC Storage Port –  FCoE Storage Port

STORAGE PORT TYPES – DIRECT AND UPLINK CONNECT


•  Cisco –  FC End-Host Mode (NPV) and FC Switch Mode –  FC/FCoE Port Channeling and Trunking –  FCoE Unified Uplinks (FCoE + Ethernet) –  Ethernet Port Channeling and Trunking –  Static and Dynamic Pinning (UCS Pin Groups)

•  Brocade –  FC End-Host Mode (NPV) –  FC ISLs –  Static and Dynamic Pinning (UCS Pin Groups)

•  Ethernet – Vendor X –  iSCSI/NAS/NFS/CIFS –  Static and Dynamic Pinning (UCS Pin Groups)

STORAGE UPLINK CONNECTIVITY


•  VSANs – Specified Dual or Per Fabric

•  FC / FCoE WWNN & WWPN Pools

•  iSCSI IQN and IP Pools

•  iSCSI Authentication Profiles

•  Adapter Policies

•  vHBA / vNIC Templates

•  SAN / LAN Connectivity Policies

•  Boot Policies

•  Storage Connection Policies (Local Zoning)
