UCS connected to multiple FC fabrics?

Hi,
I *think* it is possible, yet I cannot find any diagram / documentation confirming this:
Is it OK to connect UCS Fabric Interconnect modules to more than one FC fabric? (namely 2 Brocade fabrics per module?)
Am I correct in my thinking that creating separate VSANs for each fabric should do the trick?
Thanks & regards,
Radek

Radek, yes it is possible. I did this recently at one of my customers, we connected a Brocade and QLogic fabric to both UCS FIs. We put the Brocade FC ports and vHBAs in one VSAN and he QLogic in the other. It was very cool because this allowed the customer to access both fabric from a single serer without having to ISL the 2 fabric together.

  • UCS connecting to SAN switches

    I've configued UCS direct connecting into the SAN before, but not SAN switches.  My understanding of the main differences between the two is this:
    1) With SAN switches, you configure vSANs.  To do this go to SAN tab -> SAN Cloud and configure your vSAN ID's here.  Then in your vHBA template, configure it to use the appropriate vSAN ID you configured under SAN cloud.  Anything else to do here?
    2) Whereas with direct attached storage you connect FI-A to SPA and SPB and FI-B to SPA and SPB, with san switches FI-A goes to 'switch-1' and FI-B goes to 'switch-2'.  Is this correct?  If so, anyone know why it has to be this way?

    No problem, tbone-111
    As far as I know, only two vHBAs are supported at this time.  It's best to use 1 from the A-side and 1 from the B-side.
    The vHBAs that are used depend on which wwpns you zoned to your boot luns.
    For the example below, assume the following convetions:
    1.) my vHBAs are named, vHBA_A1, vHBA_B1, vHBA_A2, vHBA_B2 (A for A-side fabric, and B for B-side)
    2.) vHBA_A1 is the first HBA on my A side, and vHBA_B1 is the first HBA on B side
    AND
    3.) These HBAs' wwpns are zoned properly to my boot LUNs' Storage Processor (SP) ports on the FC Switch
    AND
    4.) These HBAs' wwpns are LUN masked properly on my array
    Those are logical ANDs, by the way, they must ALL be true to prevent headaches later on.
    5.) Disk Array SP ports A0 and B1 are connected to my A Fabric FC switch.  B0 and A1 are connected to my B Fabric.
    6.) This example boot policy will have the A Fabric be the primary boot path
    -FYI, best practice to have at least 2 SAN Boot policies (1 for A-side and 1 for B-side, and evenly distribute among your Service Profiles).
    In my boot policy, I check the enforce vHBA naming option and specify my vHBAs names (sorry I don't have screenshots available.  just started with a new company and don't have lab access yet).
    My SAN Primary setting might be: Primary Target: A0's wwpn and Secondary Target: B1's wwpn
    My SAN Secondary setting might be: Primary Target: B0's wwpn and Secondary Target: A1's wwpn
    It would be a good idea to confer with your Storage Admins while you are setting up the first couple of servers to boot on each Fabric to help with any troubleshooting.
    If zoning and LUN masking are configured correctly, you should see WWPNs listed during the UCS Server Boot sequence at the point where the FC Boot driver is being loaded.
    Of course, get Cisco TAC on the line if you run into any obstacles that you cannot get past.
    I hope that helps,
    Trevor

  • Can I use existing portal to connect to multiple R3 systems  for config

    Our R/3 system landscape -->DEV, DEV2, TST,TST2,TST3 etc.
    DEV portal is connect to dev system TST portal to R/3 TST system etc.
    Is there a way I can connect DEV portal to DEV2 R/3 System without effecting portal testing and configuration which is in progresses in DEV R/3 system.
    If any one has done it in the past, please share instructions

  • Connection to multiple databases using a single EJB

    How can I connect to multiple Databases (using @PersistenceContext) using an EJB?
    Did I need to connect various Entity Managers corresponding to the each database and simply send my Queries?
    I am using Glassfish Application Server
    Netbeans IDE
    Java Derby Database
    Oracle Database
    Java Persistence API
    Thanks in Advance

    Yes, you need a persistence context and thus entity manager per database. Depending on what you want to achieve you may also need to go to the next level in your skill set and learn all about distributed transactions.

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

    Hi
    The only possible way which I could find for your requirement is that of DB Links. Establish DataBase Links among the multible databases, with which you want to work in one session. Peform all your actions through the DB Links.

  • Multiple connections or multiple sessions preferred

    Hi All,
    Is it better to create multiple connections for each sender/receiver or single connection but multiple sessions for each sender/receiver? Assume in my case that there are about few hundred receivers. Thanks.

    Edit : Sorry, bad answer.

  • R/3 connected to multiple XI instances

    Can a single R/3 instance be connected to multiple XI instances at the same time?  If so are there any limitations and is there any special considerations that should be taken into account?

    Limitation is only when you are using proxy because here you are using native XI protocol and depend on these administration settings in SXMB_ADM. In SXMB_ADM there is one selection you can choose either INTEGRATION SERVER or NON INTEGRATION SERVER. If you choose non integration you have to point to your current integration server and here you can only fill one destination.
    Assuming :
    Type XI : R/3
    RFC  N   : M
    IDOC N   : M
    Proxy (XI) 1:N
    other adapters N : M
    where
    N,M - any number
    By the way using few XI servers connected to one R/3 is a little bizzare

  • Can one syclo server connect to multiple SAP backends?

    Hi All,
    I am working with SAP Service Manager application and the backend is SAP CRM.
    As we all know that the backend system setting for syclo server needs to be maintained in the JavaBE.ini file
    Suppose I have a requirement where one of my screen has to deal with a status update development and the backend in this case is ECC and not CRM.
    Can I achieve this ? I mean can we configure the JavaBE.ini file to connect the multiple SAP backend ? If yes please explain the process/steps to do so.
    Thanks and Regards

    Message was edited by: Michael Appleby

    Thanks Bill,
    As I understand , Going with Standard SAP Integration mechanism means to have connection with CRM system and ECC system can be called internally from CRM via RFC's . Is my understanding correct here ? This can be done If we create a FC in CRM and internally call ECC FC via RFC.
    Also I shall try the second approach too. However I have a question here.
    Suppose I create a new JavaBE2.ini file and configure it for ECC.
    Later when I create java steps will it automatically detect that which SAP system it should connect to? I cannot explicitly tell the Java step to call the ECC system , Can I ?
    Please advise.
    Thanks

  • One ECC Connected to multiple CRM systems

    Hello,
    We have a scenario where we have single R/3 system (ECC) connected to multiple CRM systems. I would be obliged if someone can send me some documentation on tht.
    Also if we are creating an order in ECC, two queues are generated which I think is wrong. Can someone give me some advice on this.
    Thanks & Regards
    Priyanka

    Hello Pratik,
    I would define two different systems in ECC. In such a case, if say I create one material in R/3 (ECC) then should it generate two diffrent queues for flow to CRM.
    Also if say the CRM Release etc for the two systems connected to one R/3 are not the same, then how do i take care of the entries in the ECC Config tables for replication i.e CRMFILTAB, CRMCONSUM, CRMPAROLTP etc.
    And how does the ECC system identify what settings it has to take for what CRM system and what queues have to be generated? What are the queues to be registered in CRM and ECC in such a case.
    Would be obliged if you can give me a more detailed advice.
