Starting with the initial configuration
Before using the UCSM software for the configuration, it is necessary to make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
- Physical cabling of the FIs, specially the L1, L2 dedicated ports for control plane connectivity is working fine
- FI cluster configuration is complete and the cluster status is up
Details on physical cabling and cluster configuration of FIs have been provided in Chapter 10, Configuring Backup, Restore, and High Availability.
Although it is possible to use a single FI for data connection as a proof of concept implementation, it is, however, not recommended in the production environment.
