Dell OpenManage Enterprise-Modular Edition Version 2.00.00 for PowerEdge MX7000 Chassis User's Guide

Restrictions and guidelines

The following restrictions and guidelines are applicable when building a scalable fabric:
  • Mixing switch types in the same fabric is not supported. For example: MX9116n in slot A1 and MX5108n in slot A2
  • Mixing switch types across fabrics is supported. For example: MX9116n in slots A1& A2 and MX5108n in slots B1 & B2
  • All FSE and FEM IOMs in a scalable fabric must be in the same OME–Modular MCM group. FEMs in a chassis in MCM group 1 cannot be connected to FSEs in a chassis in MCM group 2.

The following restrictions are applicable when implementing a scalable fabric in both fabric slot A and fabric slot B:

  • IOM placement for each scalable fabric must be the same within the same chassis. For example, if the FSE for the first scalable fabric is in Slot A1, then the second FSE must be in slot B1 in the same chassis, and so on.
  • For chassis that only contain FEMs, all four FEMs must connect to the same chassis with the FSEs. The fabric B FEMs cannot be connected to FSEs in a different chassis as the fabric A FSEs.
