Count Total number of flogi during UCS Upgrade

A good tip during a UCS upgrade is to count the total number of flogi’s per FI before rebooting each FI. Good to make sure after reboot the same number are present.

Run the below command and get the vif names, and total. After reboot ensure same exists.

BigUCS-B(nxos)# show npv flogi-table

Total number of flogi = 10.


To find the server belonging to a FC vif

BigUCS-B(nxos)# sho int fc vfc764

From knowing the Blade the corresponding Service Profile can be found with:

BigUCS-B(nxos)# show server assoc 2/2

With the blade known, the service profile can be found with (credit goes to John Kennedy for this command):

BigUCS-B# sho server assoc 2/2
Server  Association  Service Profile
——- ———— —————
2/2     Associated   esx01

Hmm, wonder how a blade or service profile could be found with a WWPN? If anyone knows comment and will credit and add to post.
