Concerns
•
Consistent M1000e fabric management that
adheres to M1000e recommended practices
for blade IO configuration
• Reduces administration overhead
•
All blade server Ethernet ports used for SAN
reside on the same mezzanine card resulting
in a potential single point of failure
• Upgrading switch FW will require scheduled
downtime for SAN network
