Key points to note on these 73-11789-09 Cisco Virtual Interface Cards (VICs)
The Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card (VIC) is a virtualization-optimized Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) mezzanine card designed for use with Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers.
The VIC is a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet mezzanine card that supports up to 128 Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) standards-compliant virtual interfaces that can be dynamically configured so that both their interface type are established using just-in-time provisioning.
In addition, the Cisco UCS M81KR supports Cisco VN-Link technology, which adds server-virtualization intelligence to the network.
Product Features
-
Unified I/O
Helps reduce TCO by consolidating the overall number of NICs, HBAs, cables, and switches because LAN and SAN traffic run over the same mezzanine card and fabric.
-
Up to 128 dynamic virtual adapters and interfaces
Creates fully functional unique PCIe adapters and interfaces (NICs or HBAs) without requiring single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) support from OSs or hypervisors.
-
Centralized management
Enables the mezzanine card to be centrally managed and configured by Cisco UCS Manager.
-
Network architecture
Provides redundant path to fabric interconnect using dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to the fabric carrying both Fiber Channel and Ethernet traffic.
-
More than 600,000 I/O operations per second (IOPS)
Provides high I/O performance for demanding applications.
-
Support for lossless Ethernet
Uses Priority Flow Control (PFC) to enable FCoE as part of the Cisco unified fabric
