      Hi Ramnath
      There is no specific hardware or software you need to buy to enable VM-FEX on Cisco UCS, over and above standard Cisco UCS Hardware (FI & VIC1240,VIC1280 or M81KR) There is also no licensing requirement.

      Regards
      Colin

    Very useful videos. Thanks. Is it still the case (latest release of UCS, vNIC, and vSphere 5.5U2) with VM FEX (HP mode) that it is best implemented using dvSwitch on the vSphere side as you have described in the video?
