How to configure Fabric interconnect port as server, uplink, FCoE, FCoE storage port in CISCO UCS

 

Fabric Interconnects

The Fabric Interconnect (FI) is the core component of a UCS solution, providing network, storage, and unified management capabilities to servers.

 

Fabric Interconnects are typically configured as highly available cluster pairs in production environments and provide active-active data traffic.

 

 A single FI-based design is also possible for proof of concept (POC) but not recommended for a production environment.
