74 M-Series

75 UCS M-Series Architecture Shared Power & Cooling 2 x 40 Gb Uplinks Shared Resources Independent Server Management Virtual Network Virtual Storage 8 x Cartridge Slots 4 PCIe Gen3 Lanes per Slot Flexible compute and memory

76 System Link Technology Overview System Link Technology is built on proven Cisco Virtual Interface Card (VIC) technologies VIC technologies use standard PCIe architecture to present an endpoint device to the compute resources VIC technology is a key component to the UCS converged infrastructure In the M-Series platform this technology has been extended to provide access to PCIe resources local to the chassis like storage eth0 eth1 operating system eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3 operating system

77 System Link Technology System Link technology provides the same capabilities as a VIC to configure PCIe devices for use by the server The difference with System Link is that it is an ASIC within the chassis and not a PCIe card The ASIC is core to the M-Series platform and provides access to I/O resources The ASIC connects devices to the compute resource through the system mid plane System Link provides the ability to access network and storage shared resources SCSI Commands Virtual Drive

78 System Link Technology Same ASIC used in the 3 rd Generation VIC Cartridges Network M-Series takes advantage of additional features which include: Gen3 PCIe root complex for connectivity to Chassis PCIe cards (e.g Storage) 32 Gen3 PCIe lanes connected to cartridges CPUs 2 x 40Gbps uplinks 32 Lanes Gen3 PCIe 40Gbps QSFP x2 Scale to 1024 PCIe devices created on ASIC (e.g. vnic) Storage

79 / Mapping Network resources to the M-Series Servers The System Link Technology provides the network interface connectivity for all of the servers Virtual NICs (vnic) are created for each server and are mapped to the appropriate fabric through the service profile on UCS Manager Servers can have up to 8 vnics. The operating system sees each vnic as a 40Gbps Ethernet Interface but they can be rate limited and provide hardware QoS marking. Interfaces are 802.1Q capable Fabric Failover is supported, so in the event of a failure traffic is automatically moved to the second fabric Host PCIe Interface eth0 eth1 eth0 eth 1 Fabric Interconnect A Fabric Interconnect B

80 Networking Capabilities The System Link ASIC supports 1024 virtual devices. Current scale limits are 8 vnics per server. All network forwarding is provided by the fabric interconnects, there is no forwarding local to the chassis Currently the network uplinks for the M-Series chassis supports Ethernet traffic only. The M-Series devices can connect to external IP storage volumes like NFS, CIFS, HTTPS, or iscsi. FCoE connectivity will be supported in a future release. iscsi boot is supported see the UCS Interoperability Matrix for details.
