Hi Team,

We are trying to deploy NCI cluster and env is Cisco C series M7 connected fabric interconnect, UCS domain mode deployment. Nutanix AOS/AHV- 6.5.5.7 version. 

1. Looking for information on how many MAC pool required . As the document says to create a default MAC pool and unique MAC pool. is it 2 pool required.

2. Normally there will be separate MAC pool for each FI /Fabric interconnect which will be used for server based on connection. For instance, server A has 2 NIC and 1Each connected to FIA and FIB. Both NIC cards will get MAC ID from deferent pool. In Foundation only one MAC pool can be used and that should be default MAC pool. do we have create 3 Mac pool default , MAC-A and MAC-B pool. If yes, were we can provide MAC-A and MAC-B pool info when deploying.

3. Regarding VLAN created for NCI cluster in UCS Manager. If we create multiple VLANs, ex for CVM/ AHV, for VMs. How /where we can tag them. As in Foundation only one VLAN can be used.

4.  Regarding UCS manifest file vi /home/nutanix/foundation/templates/ucsm_template.json. I do not see on the foundation vm. We are using version 6.5.5.7 AOS/AHV and Foundation 5.6.1. could not see any UCSM policy bundle to download in Nutanix portal and information on what needs to be updated.
