Ucs Fabric Interconnect Commands

In our introduction to cisco ucs architecture we touched briefly on the cisco ucs fabric interconnect specifically we talked about the latest generation the cisco ucs 6454 fabric interconnect.

Ucs fabric interconnect commands.

The success in doing that would have instantly led me to the mgmt0 connection on the b fabric. However in the ucs fi cli guide there is no mention of this command. From there i could have run connect local mgmt b and accessed ucsm which was running just fine on fabric interconnect b and flipped ucsm back to fabric interconnect a using local mgmt commands. When committed this change may disconnect the current cli session ucs a fabric interconnect commit buffer enabling a standalone fabric interconnect for cluster configuration.

Ucs a scope fabric interconnect a ucs a fabric interconnect activate firmware kernel version 3 0 ucs a fabric interconnect commit buffer ucs a fabric interconnect related commands. Power on this fabric interconnect leaving the secondary interconnect powered off for now. Following on from cabling our cisco ucs infrastructure we will first begin to configure the fabric interconnects using the basic system configuration dialog. Ucs forcing a fabric interconnect failover forcing a fabric interconnect failover this operation can only be performed in the cisco ucs manager cli.

Connect to the console port of fabric interconnect 1 which will be the primary member in the cluster. The following example shows how to activate a specific version of kernel software on fabric interconnect a. Well i could always access the a fabric interconnect. You must force the failover from the primary fabric interconnect.

Now i want to take a closer look at the function of the cisco ucs fabric interconnect and some things to think about when you are deploying it. Found that from ucs fabric interconnect there is a command to connect to nxos.
