configuration, and open schema, handles upgrades, as well as daily operations, in a simple, straightforward
manner.
In the present setup consists of two B200M2 Servers for Apache and an application server for each. A configured
service profile was used for one of the B200M2 servers and then simply cloned the profile for the second server.
This allows fast provisioning of new servers in the Cisco UCS configuration.
Figure 2 illustrates the Cisco UCS Manager with a service profile associated with a B200M2 server.

2.2.2 Fabric Interconnect
The Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnects are a core part of the Cisco Unified Computing System, providing
both network connectivity and management capabilities for the system (Figure 2). The Cisco UCS 6100 Series
offers line-rate, low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE functions.
The Cisco UCS 6100 Series provides the management and communication backbone for the Cisco UCS B-Series
Blade Servers and Cisco UCS 5100 Series Blade Server Chassis. All chassis and therefore all blades, attached to
the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnects become part of a single, highly available management domain. In
addition, by supporting unified fabric, the Cisco UCS 6100 Series provides both the LAN and SAN connectivity for
all blades within its domain.
From a networking perspective, the Cisco UCS 6100 Series uses a cut-through architecture, supporting
deterministic, low-latency, line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet on all ports, independent of packet size and enabled
services. The product family supports Cisco low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric
capabilities, which increase the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of Ethernet networks. The fabric interconnect
