   
Hi, I'm facing some problem to configure Dell EMC Switch S4148U-ON with storage Dell - SC5020. Following dell provided documents "Dell EMC Networking Fibre Channel Deployment with S4148U-ON in F_port Mode" I’ve done bellow steps I’ve created zone with host and virtual WWPN of storage. At storage manager I found the “operational mode is Virtual” and all virtual port if down. No host initiator found. Then I’ve created zone with host and Physical WWPN port of storage and found host initiator. But virtual port of storage is still down. I create server and assign volume to that server but the connection is down (Showing at storage) and nothing found at host end. Anyone can help me regarding this issue? |

Hello EhsanSikdarBD,
Looking at the screen shots you posted I do not see the Virtual Ports on your system. Below each Green Physicaql Port should be a Blue Virtual Port. Since I do not see these I think your ports have not fully initialized. Since your system is not currently running you can either unplug each port from the back of the controller, wait 60 seconds, and reconnect them. This will allow each port to reinitialize. The other option is a restart of each controller to allow each port to relogin to the switch.
Verify your switch zoning is correct. WWN zoning should be like this:
a. Compellent “Physical” Zone
All Compellent “Physical” Port WWNs
b. Compellent “Virtual” Zone
All Compellent “Virtual” Port WWNs
c. Server Zone
All Compellent “Virtual” Port WWNs + 1 Server Port WWN
