 Network-attached storage (NAS) provides the virtualization feature of a VM cluster shared disk. This allows multiple virtual machines to access shared storage, enabling functionalities like migration, fault tolerance, and distributed resource scheduling.

References: VMware documentation on networked storage technologies explains how NAS supports shared datastores that can be accessed by multiple hosts concurrently, which is essential for VM cluster shared disks

An ISSU upgrade on the Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switch allows for software updates with minimal impact on the switch’s operation. The control plane remains up during the upgrade, ensuring continuous network operations and service availability. The process is carefully designed to prevent any significant downtime, and any brief disruption is kept well under the 120-second mark1.

To deploy a Cisco UCS C-Series Server with a single VIC 1455 integrated into a Cisco UCS Manager cluster without fabric extenders, the system should be reset to factory default settings using Cisco IMC. After the reset, VIC ports 1 and 3 should be attached to the Fabric Interconnects. This process ensures that the server is recognized by the UCS Manager and can be managed accordingly. The VIC 1455 supports multiple Ethernet and Fiber Channel over Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for direct connection to Fabric Interconnects1.
