Cisco Npiv and fport-channel trunk quetion
This might have already been answered.
But,
I have a UCS vBlock the switch has NPIV enabled and the FI on the UCS are NPV enabled. What I nned to do is enable another Cisco switch 9500 series outside the vBlock with NPIV and fport-channel to allow ports on the vBlock to connect to another VNX5600 array which is also outside the vBlock.
It should all be non-disruptive- I am hoping?
With everything within the UCS already NPV and NPIV enabled, I am thinking that all I have to do on the Cisco 9500 is:
config t
enabled NPIV - feature npiv
enabled fport-channeltrunk - feature fport-channel-trunk
create the port group
interface port-channel xx
channel mode active
switchport mode F
switchport rate-mode dedicated
Configure and add interfaces to port-group
interface fcx/xx
channel-group xx force
no shutdown
Add port-channel xx to vsan database
vsan database
vsan xxx interface port-channel xx
copy run start
Then configure UCS with a correct ports in a group.
Still working on this.
