Internal DNS server access (so you can add/update the required records for Assist to function).Firewall access (to allow external access from the Intersight Assist VM to Intersight over HTTPS/443) – an existing proxy can be used to negate this dependency!.In this the third post in the series, we’ll cover deployment and configuration of Intersight Assist.īefore deploying the Intersight Assist VM there are some specific dependencies that need to be considered so make sure you have the following before you start: Most importantly, I want to show you how to get started using the Pure Storage integration into Cisco Intersight.
So it’s time to hit the blog and share more details here. It discusses the fundamental building blocks of NSX with VMware ESXi, recommended configurations with Cisco UCS and connectivity of Cisco UCS to Nexus 9000 switches.I’ve been presenting about the integration of Pure Storage® technology with Cisco Intersight at events across the globe. The reference architecture along with the VMware NSX for vSphere Network Virtualization Design Guide provides guidance for network virtualization architects interested in deploying VMware NSX for vSphere for network virtualization with Cisco UCS blade servers and Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches. Today we are putting out a new reference design for deploying VMware NSX with Cisco UCS and Nexus 9000 infrastructure, providing an easy path to the SDDC while incorporating the latest Cisco hardware. We had previously put out a design guide on deploying VMware NSX with Cisco UCS and Nexus 7000 to help deploy NSX in current environments. The combination of VMware NSX and Nexus 9000 in standalone mode enables the benefits customers have chosen to embrace with the SDDC. As with any IP fabric, VMware NSX works great with Nexus 9000 as the underlay.
The requests were for deploying NSX with Cisco infrastructure running in a standard IP-based fabric with the Nexus 9000’s in standalone mode (NX-OS Mode), as opposed to the proprietary ACI Mode. With customers choosing the benefits of VMware NSX along with the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC), the underlying hardware (Ethernet fabric, x86 compute, etc) provides reliable, resilient capacity, but the configuration, state and advanced features move to faster, more flexible software. As VMware NSX gains broader adoption, we have heard many customer requests for guidance to help them run NSX on top of the latest Cisco infrastructure, namely Cisco UCS and Nexus 9000 series switches.
