I had an extremely bad end to a work week last Friday when one issue lead to another and after accumulating multiple small issues, a UCS and VMware infrastructure that was happily chugging along fell apart. I finally got a taste of all the blogs that spoke of the limitations of dvSwitches and what you need to look out for when working with a UCS with the Menlo card.
I’m happy to say that although I had to sacrifice a sunny Saturday to fix the issue, I did manage to get the whole infrastructure back up. I have a lot of notes and screenshots but lack the time to write the post so stay tuned.
Oh, and Malcom Gladwell was right in his “The Tipping Point”. 🙂

So what was the problem and what was the solution? Was it related to the "Enable Failover" button on the vNICs in UCS?
