Question

A data center engineer is deploying a new Cisco UCS X9508 chassis in Intersight Managed Mode. The chassis is populated with two UCS 9108 Intelligent Fabric Modules (IFMs), and the domain uses a pair of UCS 6536 Fabric Interconnects. The engineer connects the IFM uplinks to the Fabric Interconnects but the chassis does not come up as a connected target in Intersight, and the server ports show no discovered chassis. Assuming cabling is physically present, what is the MOST likely configuration cause?

Accepted Answer

The ports connecting the IFMs to the Fabric Interconnects were not configured as server ports in the UCS domain profile port policy

Answer

The UCS 9108 IFM is incompatible with the 6536 Fabric Interconnect and requires the 6454 Fabric Interconnect instead

Answer

A chassis profile must be associated before the Fabric Interconnects will perform chassis discovery over the IFM links

Answer

The IFM uplinks must be configured as an Ethernet port channel with LACP before discovery can occur
