Multiple VC domains, internetworking

emulric — Thu, 19 Dec 2013 01:33:40 GMT

Hi,

What solutions have people deployed to interconnect multiple VC domains. I have 16 C7000 at present in a solution with Flex10, so 4 VC domains - Looking for advice on how to interwork them. Blades in each domain may need to talk to each other so that is the purpose of interconnection.

Been looking at FC switches, any advice ?

Thanks

The question is not clear, at least to me...

They "talk" to each other via network of course, what is the problem with FC switches?

What FC switches would you go for ? Would I need 2 switches per c7000 ? or just enough to interconnect the domains (2 cables per domain - active/standby 10G links) ? Currently every chassis has 2 Flex10 in place.

Sorry if unclear, not a expert with Flex10 yet.
