The Cisco UCS Manager along with UCS Servers and the Fabric Interconnect are a powerful combination in a Datacenter providing Compute, Storage and Network capabilities in one integrated solution. The Cisco UCS Manager ML2 driver allows customers to use UCS Servers and the Cisco Fabric Interconnect (FI) in an OpenStack installation by translating OpenStack Neutron APIs into UCS Manager configuration. The driver capabilities include:
- Configuring UCS Server and FI ports with Neutron Virtual Network and Port configuration.
- Configuring SR-IOV ports that connects the port on the VM directly to the FI, thereby providing the port with near-line rate speeds.
- Support for Service Profile and vNIC Template configuration on the UCS Managers.
