I need to set up a C3000 with an iSCSI box at a departmental site, which only has one and only old 100mbit Cisco switch.
Since that switch is too slow for iSCSI traffic and is a SPOF, I've been thinking of creating a non-routable network (192.168.x.x) in my VC domain and share it between the blades, then plug the iSCSI box NICs directly in an uplink port of each VC.
Anybody tried a stunt like this, and does it work?
I've just tried it, and the port is labeled as "Linked/Standby" while it should normally be "Linked/Active"...
Points will be awarded, thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionThe Virtual Connect Best Practices doc (too big to attach) has example pictures of Servers and Printers connecting direct to uplinks.
The VC Myths/Misconceptions doc states that the uplink ports are seen by switches as server ports.
Try a twisted cable?

Re: Plugging a _server_ in a VC uplink port
This means you can't have two ports assigned to a VC network with one connected to the switch, ans another connected to the NAS. Can you put another NIC in the NAS, and connect one to VC, and the other to the switch?

Re: Plugging a _server_ in a VC uplink port
I updated to VC firmware 2.01 and the uplinks are now OK.
