We're not using a Nexus. The error is occurring within the UCS Management interface for the fabric interconnects if I look at the ports where the new SFP's have been installed. Pretty dumb that Avago makes Cisco's SFP's but since it says Avago for manufacturer instead of Cisco-Avago they're 'not validated'.
