Cisco UCS and vSwitch load balancing
Wow, long time since a post, I’ve been very slack.
I’ve been working on a very large Cloud project lately involving Cisco UCS, Nexus 1Kv and 7k’s and NetApp disk.
In the traditional server world, we’re used to setting up our ESX hosts with etherchannel aggregation to the host and of course using IP Hash as the load balancing policy on the vSwitch.
Don’t do this for UCS, or you’ll have the fun experience of your NIC’s flapping up and down!
