Compute layer hardware

VCE Vblock™ Systems Series 700 Architecture Overview

Cisco UCS fabric interconnects

The Cisco UCS fabric interconnects provide network connectivity and management capabilities to the

Cisco UCS blades and chassis. The Cisco UCS fabric interconnects offer line-rate, low-latency, lossless

10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) functions.

The interconnects provide the management and communication backbone for the blades and chassis. The

interconnects provide LAN and SAN connectivity for all blades within their domain.

The Vblock Series 700 models use Cisco UCS 6248UP Series Fabric Interconnects. Optionally, the 700MX

uses the Cisco UCS 6140XP Fabric Interconnects.

Scaling up compute resources

To scale up compute resources, you can add blade packs and chassis activation kits. You can add packs and

kits either when Vblock systems are built or after they are deployed.

Blade packs

Cisco UCS blades are sold in packs of two. Each blade pack includes:

•

Two identical Cisco UCS blades

•

Two fabric interconnect port licenses

The base configuration of each Vblock system model includes two blade packs. The maximum number of

blade packs depends on the model.

Each blade type must have a minimum of two blade packs as a base configuration and can then be increased

in single blade pack increments thereafter.

Each blade pack is added along with license packs for the following software:

•

Cisco UCS Manager (UCSM)

•

VMware ESXi

•

Cisco Nexus 1000V virtual switch

•

EMC Ionix UIM

•

EMC PowerPath

Note:

License packs for VMware ESXi, Cisco Nexus 1000v virtual switch, and EMC PowerPath are not

available for bare-metal blades.

The VCE Vblock Systems Blade Pack Reference provides a list of supported Cisco UCS blades in Vblock

Series 700 models. Refer to

Accessing VCE documentation.
