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.
