Frequently Asked Questions

What primary blade servers are compatible with the Cisco UCSB-VIC-M83-8P adapter? +
The UCSB-VIC-M83-8P is specifically engineered for integration into Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers. It is optimized for use within the M3 and M4 generation blade chassis environments, providing high-performance connectivity that allows your server infrastructure to integrate seamlessly with the Cisco Unified Computing System fabric.
How many ports does the UCSB-VIC-M83-8P provide for network connectivity? +
This Virtual Interface Card features 8 ports of 10-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. These ports are designed to provide high-bandwidth, low-latency performance, allowing for robust traffic management and support for converged network requirements within your blade server deployment.
Does the UCSB-VIC-M83-8P support FCoE functionality? +
Yes, this adapter is designed to support Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). By enabling converged networking, the card allows you to consolidate your LAN and SAN traffic onto a single infrastructure, significantly reducing cabling complexity and hardware requirements in your data center rack.
What is the primary benefit of using this VIC in a virtualized environment? +
The card supports advanced virtualization features, including Cisco VM-FEX technology. By presenting virtual interfaces directly to the virtual machine, it offloads networking tasks from the hypervisor, which improves overall CPU efficiency and enhances network visibility and security for your virtualized workloads.
Is the UCSB-VIC-M83-8P managed through the standard Cisco UCS Manager? +
Management is fully integrated with the Cisco UCS Manager platform. This allows administrators to configure the adapter's virtual interfaces, port profiles, and quality of service policies centrally. This streamlined approach simplifies provisioning and ensures consistent network policy enforcement across your entire server fabric.
How does this adapter handle traffic optimization for complex server workloads? +
The M83-8P utilizes advanced hardware-based offloading capabilities to manage high-volume data traffic. By handling processing overhead directly on the adapter card, it ensures that your server CPU remains available for application processing, thereby maintaining high performance levels even under heavy network load or multi-tenant conditions.
What are the physical mounting requirements for the UCSB-VIC-M83-8P? +
This is a mezzanine card designed specifically for the internal mezzanine slots on compatible Cisco UCS B-Series blade servers. It provides a direct, reliable physical connection to the blade’s backplane, ensuring stable data throughput and maintaining the integrity of the server's internal airflow and cooling architecture.
Can I use the UCSB-VIC-M83-8P for high-availability networking configurations? +
Absolutely. By connecting the server through the fabric interconnects, you can utilize the redundant paths provided by the VIC to ensure failover capability. This architecture is critical for enterprise applications that require continuous uptime and resilient network connectivity for their compute resources.
How can I obtain a bulk quote for multiple UCSB-VIC-M83-8P units? +
