Hi folks !
My client asked me a quite though question today : since we are bounded to CISCO Nexus for physical switches, we digged on a low latency nexus with SFP+ connection.
It seems that 3064-X is a good choice but as far as I know, Cisco SFP+ compatibility with 3rd party is azardeous.
2 questions :
Are there some kind of hardware restriction w/ Nutanix Supermicro stuff appart from SFP+ cable (MOLEX 074752 series as far as I know) ?
Is there a compatibility matrix of this granularity level somewhere ?
best regards,
Nutanix HW compatibility : CISO NEXUS 3064-X and supermicro

Hi ,
We use standard Intel NIC's, so the preferred cables are the Cisco SFP+ cables. You will get into problems if you use third party cables with the Cisco switches.
Kind regards,
Michael

Ok, if you have any specific configuration questions, we've got a KB on portal.nutanix.com that talks about Cisco Nexus configs. Search Nexus and you'll find it.
