VMware vSAN, Cisco UCS and Cisco ACI information

I’ve had a few questions regarding VMware vSAN with Cisco ACI.

While mostly the guidance for ACI is the same there are a few vendor specific considerations. upon internal testing we found some recommended configuration advise and specific concerns for the multicast querier. For more information see this new storage hub section of the networking guide. 

If your looking for General vSAN networking advice, be sure to read the networking guide.

If your looking for Cisco’s documentation regarding UCS servers and VMware vSAN it can be found here.

If your looking for guidance on configuring Cisco Controllers and HBA’s Peter Keilty has some great blogs on this topic. As a reminder while I would strongly prefer the Cisco HBA over the RAID controller if you use the RAID controller you will need the cache module to have proper queue depths.
