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
