Cisco UCS Use-cases Cisco UCS Servers (Blade, Modular, Rack) can be used to deliver high performance, and provide workload for  Artificial intelligence applications and machine learning  Big data  Cloud-native applications  Content delivery  Cloud computing environments delivering containers, virtual machines, and bare-metal servers as a service  GPU-accelerated AI/ML workloads  High-frequency trading  Internet infrastructure applications  Mission-critical enterprise applications  Virtualized environments UCS Architecture UCS Architecture Cisco UCS servers Two categories: Blade Servers (B series) and rack mount servers (C Series). Based on Intel Xeon CPU. Management B Series Servers are Managed by UCSM, whereas C Series servers are managed either individually or can be integrated to UCSM. B-Series Cisco UCS Components Cisco UCS Manager (UCSM)  This Application is used to manage and monitors all components if Cisco UCS. Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects  Communication device and Provides community between Cisco UCS, LAN and SAN Infrastructure. Cisco UCS manager also runs on this platform. Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Chassis  Box incorporating blade physical form factor and I/O module (IOMs). It also provides the connectivity, power supply, and cooling for blade servers. Cisco UCS Components Cisco I/O Modules (IOMs)  Connectivity modules/Fabric Extenders(FEX)  Installed in blade chassis and provide physical connectivity between servers and FI. Cisco UCS B Series Servers  Smaller physical form factor. These series are installed in Cisco UCS blade servers. Cisco UCS C Series Servers/Rack mount servers Either managed by UCSM software or can also be managed in standalone mode by their own Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CISM). Cisco Virtual Interface Cards  Cisco VIC cards or Mezzanine card, also called as CNA (Converged Network Adapter), used in Cisco UCS servers.  Used for LAN, FC, FCOE communication and also supports the Cisco VM-Flex technology for network connectivity, management up to the level of virtual machines. UCS Generations Cisco UCS 6300 Series FI: 40gig Ethernet/FCOE Connectivity to upstream network switch and downstream Cisco UCS B Series Servers 4,8,16 gig native Fibre Channel Connectivity. Cisco UCS 2304 Fabric Extenders: Provides 160 Gig throughput to each Fabric Interconnect with 4x40 Gig uplinks and 32x10 Gig backend ports to connect blade servers. Total 320 Gig throughput to each chassis with two Fabric Extenders. Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card(VIC)1300: Provides 80 Gig network throughput to a blade server with correct combination of hardware. Cisco Nexus 2348UPQ 10GE fabric Extenders: These provide 6x40 Gig ports to upstream connectivity and downstream connectivity to C-Series rack Servers. Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect Overview The core functionality Same for all generation with different number of physical ports and can be upgraded to the latest UCSM software. Cisco FI is a core part of UCS. Provides management and Communication backbone via UCSM software. Provides LAN and SAN connectivity to all servers within domain. Provides unified ports with support of Ethernet, FC, FCOE traffic. In Production, FI are deployed in clustered pairs to provide high availability and they must be identical. The only scenario for having different FI in a cluster is during a cluster upgrade. Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect Generations: Cisco UCS FI now comes under two generations: Gen 2 Fabric  with two model: UCS FI 6248UP: 32 fixed ports and 16 port with an expansion module48 Ports UCS FI 6296UP: 48 Fixed port with 48 Port with three expansion module. (16 Ports per Module) 96 Ports (Converged ports) 20 blade server chassis per domaiN Ports configurations  1 Gig Ethernet,  10 Gig Ethernet,  10 Gig/FCoE, and UCS Blade Chassis Model 5108 Chassis 6-RU blade server is the first blade server chassis and can be mount on any industry standard 19 inch (48cm) rack and uses standard front-to-back cooling. It can host:  A Maximum of eight half-width blade servers  A maximum of four full-width servers.  Any combination of half and full blade servers are also possible 5108 Chassis Front Blade insertion and removal. Removable divider in the middle removed for installing full-width blades. Four Slots for single power supplies Configured as non-redundant, N+1 redundant, Grid redundant. 5108 Chassis Back From Back, it provides access to manage IOM modules, fans, and power supplies. Two slots for IOM module – acts as remote line cards to fabric interconnects Eight hot-pluggable fans for cooling Four power supply connectors. Power Management & Redundancy Modes: Non-redundant: Turns on the minimum number of power supplies needed and balances the load between them. If any additional PSUs are installed, Cisco UCS Manager sets them to a "turned-off” state. N+1: The total number of PSUs to satisfy non-redundancy, plus one additional PSU for redundancy, are turned on and equally share the power load for the chassis. Grid: Two power sources are turned on, or the chassis requires greater than N+1 redundancy. If one source fails (which causes a loss of power to one or two PSUs), the surviving PSUs on the other power circuit continue to provide power to the chassis. Fabric Extender (IOMs Module) line cards to fabric Interconnect. IOM provides interface connection to blade servers, it multiplex data from blade servers and provide this data to fabric interconnects and vice versa. In Production environment, it is always connected in pairs to provide redundancy and failover. N2K-C2232PP is a Cisco Nexus 2000 Platform Chassis, offering 2 power supply, 1 Fan Modules, 32 x 1/10GE (req SFP/SFP+) + 8 x 10GE (req SFP+), and choice of airflow Chassis Management Controller (CMC): This monitors chassis components, such as fan units, power supplies, and chassis temperature. It also reads chassis components' identification data and detects the insertion and removal of blade servers. Fabric Extender (IOMs Module) For Chassis The Cisco UCS 2208XP Fabric Extender Eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE-capable, Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) ports that connect the blade chassis to the fabric interconnect. Each Cisco UCS 2208XP has thirty-two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports connected through the midplane to each half-width slot in the chassis. Typically configured in pairs for redundancy, two fabric extenders provide up to 160 Gbps of I/O to the chassis. Fabric Extender (IOMs Module) For Rack Mount Servers 32 ports can handle both regular Ethernet network traffic and a type of storage traffic called Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). The ports use a type of connector called SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus). This device has 8 additional ports that operate at 10 Gigabits per second speed. These ports can also handle both regular Ethernet network traffic and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) storage traffic. N2K-C2232PP These ports also the SFP+2000 type Platform of connector. is a use Cisco Nexus Chassis, offering 2 power supply, 1 Fan Modules, 32 x 1/10GE (req SFP/SFP+) + 8 x 10GE (req SFP+), and choice of airflow Chassis Management Controller (CMC): This monitors chassis components, such as fan units, power supplies, and chassis temperature.
