Hello,Customer wants to buy UCS c-240m4 with Intel X520 PCIe card, and I need to know what Multimode Optic Fiber SFP+ transceiver I have to purchase along with the card....my Intel distributor tells me I need FTLX8571D3BCL, but according to the follo...
Hello,Is it possible to move port licenses between Fabric Interconnetcs? For instance to move a port license (currently in use) from Fabric Interconnect A to Fabric Interconnect B in the same UCS domain?? What about moving them between different UCS ...
Hello,In a Cisco UCS blades solution, in a storage hybrid topology scenario (storage array directly attached to Fabric Interconnects + FC Uplink to Cisco MDS SAN with 3rd party servers) will the 3rd party servers be able to access the storage array w...

Hello,I'd like to know recommended option to monitor UCS, specially for historic traffic flows, bandwidth occupation and so on. UCS Manager can't provide this. Is it possible to track these sort of things with UCS Central? What about UCS Director? Ma...
