Storage Network Design

An engineer needs to connect a new storage appliance to a Cisco UCS domain.

  • The storage array must connect directly to Cisco UCS fabric interconnects.
  • UCS-to-SAN connectivity must use 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
  • The design must use a lossless QoS system class.
  • Network and storage traffic must use separate uplinks.

Which port types must be used between the fabric interconnect and the storage appliance?

  • A FCoE storage port -appliance port
  • B FcoE uplink port -Ethernet uplink port
  • C Fibre Channel storage port -appliance port
  • D Fibre Channel storage port -Ethernet uplink port
Explanation

FCoE storage ports carry Fibre Channel storage traffic over Ethernet and support the lossless behavior required for FCoE. An appliance port is the direct Ethernet connection from a Cisco UCS fabric interconnect to a storage appliance. Using these separate port types keeps storage and network traffic on distinct connections; uplink ports are intended for upstream network or SAN fabrics rather than directly attached storage.
