To use the SFS features, your switches must be running SmartFabric OS10.5.0.7P3 or later, as specified in the SmartFabric OS10 Solutions (HCI, Storage, MX) Support Matrix.
Only the PowerSwitch models that are shown in the following table are supported with SFS in leaf or spine roles. SFS does not run on third-party switches or other PowerSwitch models.
Typical role* | VxRail node connectivity options | |
S4112F/T-ON, S4128F/T-ON, S4148F/T-ON | Leaf | 10 GbE |
S5212F-ON, S5224F-ON, S5248F-ON, S5296F-ON | Leaf | 10/25 GbE |
S5232F-ON, Z9264F-ON* | Spine* |
*While the roles that are shown in the table are recommended, Z9264F-ON is supported only as a spine. It is possible to use S5232F-ON as a leaf with ports that are connected to VxRail nodes that are broken out to 10 GbE or 25 GbE. VxRail nodes do not currently support 100 GbE NICs for VxRail system traffic.
Any combination of the leaf and spine switches that are shown in the table is supported, but leaf switches must be deployed in pairs of the same model to meet VLT requirements.
SFS supports up to 20 switches in the fabric, scaling to nine racks if two spine switches and 18 leaf switches are used.
