Each of these parts, i.e. the blade servers, Fabric InterConnect chassis, and IO Modules, can be
connected to each other internally. For example, an IO Module can be connected to a blade server or
there could also be a link between the IO Module and Fabric InterConnect chassis.
The Ethernet links between the different components of a UCS can be categorized as:
• Backplane links—The links that connect a chassis to a backplane port via the IO Module.
• Fabric links—The links that connect a chassis to a Fabric InterConnect port via the IO Module.
You can also view this link in a map that cont ains a separa te map node for each of the follo wing el ements:
• Fabric Interconnect Chassis
• Blade Server Chassis
• Cisco Blade Server
• IO Module
The blade server chassis is shown as an aggregation that also contains the IO Module.
To view the map for a UCS device:
Step 1 In Cisco Prime Network Vision, open a map with a UCS device. The UCS device is displayed with a
plus (+) sign. Click on the + sign. The map containing the links between eac h element in the UCS device
is shown in the window as shown in Figure 26-9.
