The last Days I want to create a Port Channel between my UCS Chassis and my MDS Switch. See how to configure and get some hints.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Remember, during this configuration you loose one FC-Uplink! So check if your Blades see the Paths over both Fabrics!<\/em><\/p>\n On my first try I didn’t get it up. This had to do with the old Firmware of my MDS Switches. So we had to Upgrade to 6.X Release. (https:\/\/supportforums.cisco.com\/discussion\/11896686\/create-port-channel-between-ucs-fi-and-mds-9124-f-mode)<\/a><\/p>\n At the second starting point I go with the following Versions:<\/p>\n Before we create the Channel we have to check:<\/p>\n Check Feature:<\/em><\/p>\n Enable Feature:<\/p>\n At the next Step we configure the PortChannel in the UCS GUI:<\/p>\n Go to “SAN” Tab, “Create Port Channel”, Add ID and a Name, Add Ports, Finish.<\/p>\n\n
