FlexPod Implementation and Design
Figure 18 FlexPod Discrete Uplink Design - Nexus 7000 and NetApp Storage Focus
The storage solution utilizes the F-series module and a dedicated Storage VDC on each Cisco Nexus
7000 Series switch. This allows complete SAN A/SAN B isolation within the FlexPod environment. In
each of the Storage VDCs a port channel, Po2, is dedicated to FCoE and connected to the Cisco UCS
Fabric Interconnects. Each discrete port channel supports a single VLAN associated with Fabric A or
Fabric B. A virtual Fiber Channel interface (vfc) is then bound to the logical port channel interface.
